Pro

Comfort

Contra

None

I took the ICE from Vienna to Berlin. Especially now during the holiday season, the motorway from Austria to Germany is very busy, so it's a good idea to take the train. You don't have to wait as long as you would by car and it's also environmentally friendly. You don't even notice the heat on the train thanks to the air conditioning. Cleanliness was fine except for the rubbish that was not emptied.

Pro

On time

Direct connection

Contra

Price

The journey in the ICE from Vienna to Berlin started on time. The seats are reasonably comfortable and equipped with a power outlet. To make sure that you really have an assigned seat, it is recommended to accept the small extra charge and make a seat reservation. Regarding the price-performance ratio, I find it a great pity that you can cover the same distance much cheaper by plane.
