Not only does Deutsche Bahn, Germany national railway company, offers passengers an extensive railway network and notoriously reliable and punctual trains, but it also breaks speed records. The ICE 3 (ICE stands for InterCity Express) is Deutsche Bahn’s fastest train. When in Germany, the ICE 3 (specifically models 403 and 406) runs at 186.4 mph, but as soon as it enters France and hits the high-speed rail line between Strasbourg and Paris, the train can reach a top speed of 205 mph, making it the fastest train in all of Europe. It’s a long way from catching up with the Shanghai Transrapid Maglev Train which runs at 267.8 mph, but still, it’s the third fastest commercial train in the entire world. For a chance to ride this very special train, book yourself on a high-speed ICE 3 between Frankfurt and Paris via Deutsche Bahn’s website.
