Hello everyone. In April, I took a DB train trip from Dortmund to Vienna. The first thing to mention is that the price was very good. I paid €255, which is not very cheap in itself, but compared to a plane ticket it is definitely cheaper. There was no need to change planes, which I personally found very great. The toilets were very clean and well maintained. They smelled very pleasant and there was disinfectant everywhere. The service was just ok. There were nice, but unfortunately also unfriendly staff. The train did not arrive in Vienna on time either, but a quarter of an hour late. Also, the volume was not appropriate. Nevertheless, the trip was pretty good and I can recommend it to everyone.
