Train from Munich-Stuttgart help

I dont think you've continued far enough. Select "continue" for the train you want. On the next page, select the fare category (ie Sparpreis). When you select that, scroll down. It should have "offer options", and then the next section down should be reservations.

Thank you I will give it a another try. Thank you

If you are using the DB website you'll see the "select offers" option. Then you choose what ticket you want. Make sure you pay attention as the cheapest tickets, Super Sparpreis, are train specific without refunds. Once you select the train and ticket you then scroll down and you will see "additional options" to include reserving a seat (for an added fee).

Note that december is half a year away. I would buy a ticket now, but not a reservation. There is a significant probability that your schedule will change between now and then, and when it does your saver ticket becomes a fully flexible ticket. And you can then make reservations. Reservations are separate, and always the same price, regardless of when you buy them...

Thank you. I did not realize I could book a seat later. When would you recommend? Do you recommend booking our passage tickets at this time or should I wait until it is closer.

If you book your tickets now you will get the absolute cheapest prices, as very few people book train tickets that far in advance. I see tickets as low as 14.99 right now. The normal, flexible price is 59.

So you will be saving quite a bit.

Then a month or so before travel do your reservations. Book seats on the train that you originally booked. If that is not possible because the schedule has change book another train.

Thank you Wengenk. Then if we did not book seats we would just get on on open cars correct. I appreciate your hep

There are no "open cars". The way this works in Germany is that in principle every seat in the train can be reserved. There are displays near each seat that show if it is reserved or not, so without a reservation you can go and look for a free seat.

And if you cannot find any free seat you can stand.

Note that reservations laps after 15 minutes, so if you do not find a free seat at first you can wait a bit. There are always lots of non-shows.

But I would reserve seats anyway, but you can wait with that till about november.
