Plan notes
Useful context before you go
This is a one-day rail journey from Brussels to Munich with a change in Frankfurt. The two train legs were described as roughly three hours each, though delays made the day longer and tiring. Reported fare figures differed: €53.60 total was mentioned earlier, and later the journey was described as €75 per person. Treat these as the travelers’ reported figures, not current fares. They said a seat reservation cost €8; without one, a seat may not be available right away, especially on a crowded train. The DB app can help with tickets, live status, check-in and seat confirmation for reserved seats, plus delay and platform-change notifications. Check current fares, reservation terms and connections before travelling, and make sure you have a valid ticket.

-
München HauptbahnhofMünchen Hauptbahnhof, Munich, Germany
The train arrived in Munich at about 4:24 p.m. After a long journey, keep an eye on traffic signals when walking from the station, and avoid stepping into cycle lanes.
- DB app, tickets and seat reservations

A reservation was reported to cost €8; the travelers found the train crowded and noisy, and noted that passengers without a reservation might have to stand or wait for a seat. Travel with a valid ticket.
