The route from Zurich to Constance is one of my absolute favourites. The journey is absolutely easy, despite crossing a national border. At the same time, the compartments are very comfortable. On my day of travel, unfortunately, one train broke down, which is why I was a little disappointed. However, I think this is a rarity. There was also no wifi on my day of travel. All in all, however, I am very satisfied with the experience on the route from Zurich to Constance.

I traveled from Zurich to Konstanz by train and the overall experience was very good. The train was on time both in the departure time and the arrival time in Konstanz. The train was very quiet and comfortable, so I was able to read the whole trip. There are power outlets in the train to charge electronic devices. The only negative point is that it is very expensive for a short trip. But you can be sure that you will arrive in time.

The train connection from Zurich to Constance works well. The train was on time and fast, also with a Flex Preis ticket you have a lot of flexibility in choosing the departure time. Unfortunately, the frequency of the connection from Zurich to Constance is not that high and the price for spontaneous bookings is quite high. Also, the occupancy rate was quite high in my day of travel, but I still found a seat. However, if I am ever in this region again, I will choose this connection from Zurich to Constance again.
