German trains are clean, comfortable, reliable and fast.
If you're traveling within the country, it just doesn't make sense to fly. Germany's privatized railway, the Deutsche Bahn, is by far the best way to travel around the country. Trains are fast and comfortable, and there can be hefty discounts for those who take the trouble to study what is offered. Transferring from one ICE to another is usually just a matter of crossing the station platform and speeding off again within minutes of your arrival. These super trains are supplemented with InterCity and InterRegio express trains, local trains and suburban or S-Bahn passenger lines.
