More than Full Steam: Travelling by Train

Railway companies will get you almost anywhere in Germany. Although the railway system has been liberalized and opened to competition in the 1990s, "Deutsche Bahn" (German rail) still is the market leader.

It operates the superfast ICE-trains, that take travellers from Hamburg up in the north of Germany to Munich in the south in about six hours, or in approximately four hours from Cologne to Berlin. ICE trains can reach a speed of up to 300 km/h (about 190 mph).
