I am planning to travel first time from Munich to Salzburg by train. Should I need to make advance reservation online or can I buy at the Munich train station just before the departure ? Which one is cheap ?
Yes you can buy direct at the station also without reservation,but it is cheaper if you buy online in advance and either print out yourself, or pic the ticket up at the station.
If you want really cheap, buy a “Bayern-Ticket”, it costs 18 Euro and is valid for one day in all regional (slow) trains in Bavaria. As Salzburg is right at the border with Germany, it is valid there as well.
You just can’t use the IC, EC or ICE trains, only the slower regional ones.
The ticket can be bought at any station in Munich and even from the ticket machines.
Of course you can buy a ticket at the station before you leave. Check which trains are cheaper – the EC (Eurocity) or IC (Intercity) trains tend to be more expensive.
Yes, you can. If your travelling on the weekend, take the nice-weekend-ticket.
No reservation needed. You’ll certainly find a place.
