Deutsche Bahn (German Railways) is the operator of the German rail network, with one of the most extensive and advanced train route networks in Europe. Their flagship InterCityExpress (ICE) is a highly specified modern high speed train capable of speeds of up to 198 miles per hour. They claim that the level of comfort and amenities is equal to a normal first class service but at second class prices.
Reaching Germany by train is easy. Take the Eurostar to Paris or Brussels from where there are overnight and daily connection services. Through tickets are available from Eurostar. The services below use the excellent City Nightline German sleeper trains which offer a variety of accommodation types ranging from De-Luxe to 6 berth couchettes.
