Pros

Very fast in Munich

Cons

No wifi

I travelled from Nuremberg to Munich with the ICE 529, it was a journey in second class and without a reservation. The train left without delay and also arrived in Munich on time. The journey took just over an hour, which is very fast. The train itself was in very good condition, the inside was very clean. The service on board could not be complained about, the staff was friendly. Unfortunately, there was no wifi on board.

Pros

Fast connection

Clean train

Cons

Somewhat unpunctual

I travelled from Nuremberg to Munich on the ICE 529. It was a very quick journey, just under an hour. I travelled second class, but I found the carriage no less comfortable than the first class one. The seats were comfortable and there was a power socket. The carriage also has wifi. The train was very clean and well-maintained, but it was a bit late, but I was still able to catch my connecting train. The service on board was good.

Pros

Cosy

Cons

None

I took the ICE from Nuremberg to Munich. The facilities were great, there was free wifi for the whole journey, which everyone could use, and there was a socket next to the seat where you could charge your mobile phone. In terms of hygiene, it was very clean. The train arrived on time. The price-performance ratio was excellent. The seats were also very comfortable and the train atmosphere was very quiet.

Pros

Clean train

Quick

Cons

Unpunctual

I travelled from Nuremberg to Munich on ICE 529. The journey was in 2nd class. The train was very clean. Basically, the journey is very fast. The train also left on time, but arrived in Munich with a certain delay. However, I was still able to catch my connecting train. The Deutsche Bahn staff were very friendly. I had access to the wifi, which was stable.

Pros

Beautiful time spent

Cons

Can't report anything negative

Finding the track number was no problem, I could orientate myself immediately because everything was very well signposted and described. The booking of the online ticket also went smoothly. This journey from Nuremberg to Munich was very pleasant and orderly. I had no wishes left unfulfilled, there was a snack bar as well as clean seats and toilets. I really liked the punctuality of the train and the journey itself. I think I will use this connection more often in the future, as it is relatively fast and very pleasant for this price. I can recommend this connection as I personally liked it very much.

Pros

Everything went smoothly

Cons

A bit messy on the train

The journey was relatively smooth, and pleasant. I didn't really have anything to complain about, the staff were very friendly. There was a bar on the train so you could get snacks. It was pleasantly loud on the train, unfortunately there was no wifi and no electricity. The atmosphere was OK, the seats were clean and relatively soft. The toilet was fine, there were paper towels to dry your hands as well as soap and toilet paper. All in all, a pleasant journey.

Pros

Relaxed stress free journey

Cons

Dirty toilet

It was a pleasant, beautiful journey that I made there. It only took an hour, but it was really nice and pleasant. There was enough space, there is always fresh air, the train was clean, the seats were not run down. On the whole, a very pleasant journey that I make very often, have been very satisfied so far. The train runs reliably and safely. Only the toilet could be a bit cleaner, otherwise everything is perfect.

Pros

Fast travel

Cons

None

I made the journey with the Deutsche Bahn ICE. The journey was from Nuremberg to Buchloe, with the first stopover in Munich, so I can evaluate this journey. The journey went very quickly and without complications. The train was in a well-maintained condition. The on-board bistro had coffee, which was, however, extremely expensive. The journey is in second class, but this was not much worse equipped than first class. The train arrived on time.

Pros

Comfort

Cons

Service

I took the ICE from Nuremberg to Munich some time ago. The journey was super pleasant. The seats were very comfortable and the train was clean. The volume in the train was pleasant and we were not delayed. Only the staff was very overloaded and the service was therefore not good.

Pros

Comfort

Cons

Service

My train journey from Nuremberg to Munich was very good. The journey was very comfortable! The wifi worked and the whole train was very clean. The price-performance ratio was also right. The only drawback of the trip was the service, which could have been a bit better.

Pros

Short

Cons

Price

It was actually a very good journey, but unfortunately I had booked at far too short notice and so the ticket was much more expensive than if I had booked it earlier. You should always bear this in mind! Otherwise everything was fine. There was working wifi and sockets that I could use to charge my mobile phone. The toilets were hygienic. I didn't have to change trains and the train was on time. Apart from the price, I am satisfied

Pros

Quiet

Cons

None

I had always assumed that travelling by train was always associated with loud shouting and noise, but this is far from the case. Everything was very quiet on my journey, both the train and the passengers. So quiet, in fact, that I was able to sleep, which I was very happy about. The seats are also comfortable and there is wifi. The price-performance ratio is fair in my opinion. Even as a woman, I felt safe and can only recommend it!

Pros

Punctuality

Cons

None

The return journey was very positive, just like the outward journey. There was good wifi and plenty of options for charging electronic devices. Another positive aspect is that I was able to book my ticket conveniently online. The sanitary facilities and the train itself were very clean. In my opinion, the ticket price was very fair. Overall, I have nothing to criticise about the journey. Conclusion: Recommendation.

Pros

Price performance

Cons

Punctuality

On the whole, I was quite happy with the journey, but one negative point was that the train was unfortunately not on time and so I had a long wait at the station. Otherwise everything was fine, the seats were comfortable and the service was also satisfactory.

Pros

Short journey

Cons

Price performance

The journey was very fast and quiet. You could sit comfortably. The seating area was clean and the staff were friendly. As on the return journey, there was working wifi and working power sockets. The sanitary facilities were also clean and full. But again, although it was less money this time, I don't think the value for money is right as it's only an hour's drive. But otherwise satisfied.

Pros

WIFI

Cons

I would like to start with the constant and fast wifi. The staff made the train journey as pleasant as possible. It was quiet and I had a very comfortable seat to myself. Unfortunately, I couldn't overlook the fact that it wasn't very hygienic, which is why I can't give it a full 5 stars. I don't want to say that I didn't enjoy the journey because of this small drawback.

Pros

Toilets

Volume

Cons

wifi

Personnel

Buying the ticket was very relaxing, I was in a bit of a rush. I got on the train, took off my jacket, went to the loo, the toilets looked acceptable. I went back to my seat, sat down at my work. After a while I was asked for my ticket, the staff were a bit rude, but you can look past that. The wifi only worked at the end of the journey, 15 minutes before entering the station. The price was acceptable. I would give it three out of five stars

Pros

Punctual

Fast

Cons

Cleanliness

I often take the Deutsche Bahn offers for my business trips. The first negative thing I have to say is that the train on the way to Munich really wasn't in great condition. The seats were worn and the train was very dirty. On the positive side, the train ran on time and without any disruptions. The connection from Nuremberg to Munich was also fast. There is room for improvement.

Pros

Fast drive

Cons

Unfortunately, the on-board bistro was not open

I travelled on the ICE1607 and I can't complain as the service was great and very friendly to me. The wifi worked. Unfortunately, only the on-board bistro was closed and I was hungry, but as the journey only took a little over an hour, that was fine with me
