Pro

Uncomplicated

Quick

Contra

Nothing

I made the trip from Salzburg to Munich on the Intercity train and the experience was thoroughly positive. Departure was on time and the ride was quiet and without any problems. The IC made 5 stops during the journey, which lasted about 1.5 hours, and then arrived just as punctually in the destination station of Munich. For this route, I am especially very satisfied with the price-performance ratio.

Pro

No delay

Contra

The drivers spoke neither English nor German

I have now taken the Flixbus from Salzburg to Munich for the third time and am always positively surprised. The bus had no delays, or scratches on the sides of the bus. However, the drivers did not speak English or German, which was a bit problematic when communicating. The toilets were not so particularly clean and it also in the rooms a little severe. In summary, the trip was less problematic and I was able to enjoy it.

Pro

On time

Clean

Contra

None

The trip was from Salzburg to Munich, second class, on IC1290. It was a pleasant stroll, which in my opinion could also be completed faster. The train was very clean and well maintained. There was an on-board bistro that sold delicious coffee. The service was good. The train had not had any delays. I did not make a reservation, but there were plenty of seats.

Dear Sir or Madam, First of all, I would like to inform you that I took a train trip with Deutsche Bahn from Salzburg to Munich. The train arrived in Munich on time. Hygiene was extremely observed in toilets and on the train. So there was disinfectant and wet wipes. The staff on the train was very friendly and always had a big smile on their faces. Unfortunately, there was a lot of changing of trains. Also, it was very noisy on the train and the price was quite expensive. Overall, still very good though. Recommendable!

The trip was from Salzburg to Munich on IC 1290, in second class. The train was clean and seemed technically up to date. There was an on-board bistro where coffee and snacks were sold.

Despite a slight delay of just under 10 minutes, I found the travel time to be quite short for the route.

Hello all! Recently I had a train trip with Deutsche Bahn from Salzburg to Munich. First of all the price was excellent compared to other providers. The wifi connection was very good. The WCs were very clean and smelled very good. In addition, you could find disinfectant everywhere. The seats were not very comfortable and well maintained. The staff was not friendly. There were also several transfer necessities. Overall, but a satisfactory trip for the money paid.

I decided to travel by IC from Salzburg to Munich and I didn't regret it because the trip was very relaxed. The train arrived a few minutes late, which is not so bad in my eyes.

I traveled with the IC 1290 second class from Salzburg to Munich. The train left on time and arrived in Munich on time. The seats were very comfortable and ergonomic. The staff on board provided good service. For example, coffee and chocolate were offered. The train itself could have been cleaner. The trash cans were full and in places the floor was sticky. Unfortunately, there was no wifi on board.
