Train from Munich Germany to Venice Italy

My husband and I took the night train from Munich to Venice. We had a private compartment on the train. Arrived early in the morning. We didn't stop anywhere, just want to get to Venice.

were you able to see any of the scenery like the alps? and how much was that per person?

My first choice would be the direct daytime train departing 11:30 a.m. and arriving 18:10. It's available now at an advance discount for travel through the first week of September (roughly 6 months out) on the German rail site.

We are traveling the same route in June.

Most train trips will require a change of trains in Verona, Italy. So you may want to consider staying overnight here (although it is about 3/4 of the way between Munich and Venice). We bought advance purchase, non refundable 2nd class train tickets between Munich & Verona and believe they were about 39 Euros apiece. Travel time is just under 5.5 hours.

Verona to Venice is about 1.25 hours and same day train tickets cost about 20 Euros.

You could also consider Innsbruck or Bolzano as stopovers.

If the weather is good, there is enough scenery through the Alps to make the six-hour-plus daytime train ride worthwhile. Don't expect constant vistas of rugged, snow-capped Alpine peaks (though there are some majestic mountain views in the distance); rather, you'll mostly be traveling through narrow, scenic valleys with sheer, rocky cliffs on either side, seemingly endless vineyards, and villages and towns with a fascinating variety of architecture. If you are on the right-hand side of the train (southbound) you'll see the iconic mountains on the north side of Innsbruck; catch a glimpse of the stunning Europa Bridge a few miles south of Innsbruck; and the striking hillside Castello di Avio at Sabbionara. On the left side of the train is a good view of Castel Beseno perched on the hill above Calliano, and occasional views of the Dolomites south of Bolzano.

On the leg from Verona to Venice, though, there is not much to see from the train.

I would second Laura's suggestion of the 11:34 direct EC from Munich to Venice. Advance purchase fares start at 39€/person. No need to stop for the night. The trip only takes 6½ hours; you'll be there for dinner.

The train goes over Brenner Pass, which is a pretty wimpy pass by Colorado standards, but a scenic ride, particularly on the Austrian side.

Third for Laura's suggestion. It is a pleasant & relaxing ride. You can either pack a picnic or eat on board.

Thanks for all the responses I think Im set on just going straight through to Verona then to Venice. what is the website to find or schedule train tickets?

Laura (above) gave you the link to the German rail site where you can look up schedules and buy tickets.
