Germany by Train Explore Germany by train - fast, economical and the only way to see the back door of Scenic Germany Trains are leaving from every major city in short intervals, small towns are connected by commuter trains and you will get a feel for the every day life on board a German train, sitting next to some business men, students and house wives. Lean back, take off your coat, and enjoy the view. Sometimes it is worthwhile having your camera ready, especially in very scenic Bavaria.
Most trains have wash-rooms on board, some even have snack bars.
Look for the non-smoking coaches, the air there is much better. Tickets can be purchased at any station, at the open train service counter or at the ticket machines. You can pay with cash or with a variety of credit cards. Very friendly and helpful conductors and crews. In a hurry, you still can buy a ticket on board.
