ToiletsI recently travelled by train from Munich to Prague and was very pleased with the experience. The train was equipped with modern seats and air conditioning. There were also power sockets and wifi on the train. The seats were comfortable and spacious. There was enough space for luggage and legroom.
The staff were friendly and helpful. They helped us find our seats and provided us with drinks and snacks. The train was clean and tidy. However, the toilets were a bit disgusting and poorly equipped. The journey time was about 6 hours. The train left on time and arrived on time. The price for the train journey was reasonable and the on-board facilities were good.

PriceCareHygieneHello everyone! Last year in February, I took a trip from Munich to Prague.
The price itself wasn't bad, but still I thought it was expensive. Especially compared to other train tickets from other providers. The wifi connection on the train was excellent. The train also arrived in Prague on time.
The service from the train attendants was also very great. They were very nice and always had a big smile on their face. However, the seats were not very comfortable and, above all, not well maintained.
The toilets also smelled bad. For me, the hygiene was rather lacking.
Overall, however, the trip was very good. And I was pleased to be able to travel with DB.
Advantages
Pleasant journeyRelaxed travelling with friendsDisadvantages
Relatively expensiveThe journey from Munich to Prague is made by ALEX train and takes a relatively long time. According to the timetable, the journey takes 5 hours and 30 minutes. So the journey takes an hour longer than by bus and is also more expensive. Nevertheless, I sometimes prefer this transport option on this route because of the opportunity to sit together with friends. The trains are clean, and from the Czech border there is also a Czech on-board bistro with beer for €1.50. That makes the journey more pleasant again!
