Train Travel in Germany - A Simple Pleasure
Search results
Germany is not only at the heart of Europe on a map. As a meeting point for East and West the verdant German countryside has seen towns sprout Russian influenced buildings next to Mediterranean Renaissance architecture. Important historic sights and sumptuous countryside aside, train travel in Germany is a pleasure in its own right.
Although Germany has some of the most advanced trains in Europe boarding a train involves little nonsense. The simplicity of train travel in Germany is born out of applying common sense to complex technologies so that travelling is as enjoyable as possible.

Train Travel in Germany - Traveller's Notes
Train travel in Germany is excellent as a typically German efficiency provides service you can rely on and high speed lines which reduce the time between destinations.
Tipping in Germany is much as it is in France and England. For good service in an average restaurant 5% - 10% of the bill or €2 per person will usually suffice. As on all Great Rail Journeys' holidays the Tour Manager will take care of tipping and most other matters which are payable locally.
