Intercity-Express (ICE)  

The fastest train of Deutsche Bahn AG is enjoying highest reputation.

At speeds up to 300 km/h the ICE takes you to your destination quickly and safely, offering best comfort. With a wide range of service offers and modern, comfortable interior, travelling with ICE becomes a real pleasure.

The ICE service operates between many cities at hourly or two-hourly intervals and even goes as far as Switzerland, Austria, Belgium and the Netherlands.

Cross-platform interchanges from ICE to ICE is possible at many stations, without any stairs or long-distances to walk.

The comfort and convenience of the ICE are sure to win you over. ICE trains are fully air-conditioned and have a low noise level.

In all ICE trains you have a wide choice of seats. When reserving your seat at the counter you can state whether you wish a window or aisle seat, whether you prefer a row seat or face-to-face and if you would like a seat with a fxed table. On request you may receive a reservation for a seat in an area with improved mobile phone reception.
If you want to travel in a relaxed atmosphere, we recommend reserving a seat in the silent area.

In both 1st and 2nd class coaches you will find comfortable seats that can be reclined or raised. There are also fixed or hinged tables at all seats.

Passengers travelling with young children are recommended to reserve a seat in the parent-and-child compartment. All ICE trains have special facilities for the disabled, e.g. wide doors, wheelchair parking and handicapped accessible toilets. A baby’s changing table is also available on all ICE trains. Please reserve these seats at the counter or at our call center.

Our friendly service crew will gladly help you with any questions or requests. A PA system provides information about the next stop and connections available. The information leaflet "Ihr Reiseplan" at your seat also features the available services and connections.
Passengers can buy daily newspapers at the Bordbistro.

During the journey you can leave your luggage in one of the ICE lockers in the vestibules, e.g. when visiting the BordRestaurant. The deposit will be returned to you when you remove your luggage.

The service crew on the train also takes orders for taxis or porters. The taxi or porter will then be waiting for you when you reach your destination.

Some first class coaches feature individual video screens at the seat. Almost all 1st and 2nd class seats have an integrated audio connection. You can choose between three radio stations and the ICE programs which features classical music/jazz, rock/pop and the children’s channel.
