Train travel can be a luxurious experience and is a great journey to take from Milan to Munich. There are many trains to choose from, but if you’re looking for something a little different or want to save time and money by travelling overnight – the Nightjet sleeper train is a great choice. It’s the only direct service and you can combine your travel and overnight stay all in one. Your very own travelling hotel room! The overnight train takes around 13h which gives you plenty of time to sleep and get ready for your arrival.
If you’re travelling during the day, it’s possible to do to so with just one change along the way – start your journey on a high-speed Frecciarossa or Italo train, then swap in Zurich or Verona to a Deutsche Bahn service.
Why travel by train? Why not fly? First of all, you don’t need to worry about checking in your bags or worrying about liquid sizes. Bring all your bags with you and have access to everything you need. You also enjoy WiFi and book a sleeper cabin (on Nightjet trains) to enjoy your very own bed and washing facilities too.

Most of the train companies across Europe release their tickets around three to six months in advance, many of which can be cheaper the earlier you book. If you know the dates you want to travel, you may be able to find some cheaper train tickets from Milan to Munich Hbf by booking early.§
Many of the train services in Europe are also popular commuter services, lots of train companies increase ticket prices during “peak hours” (generally between 06:00 – 10:00 and 15:00 – 19:00 on weekdays). If you can, consider travelling outside of peak hours to find lower priced tickets.
On some of the busier routes, you might also have the option to take a slower or connecting train. It may take a little longer than some high-speed or direct services, but if you have a little extra time on your hands, you might find a cheaper fare. Plus, you'll have more time to enjoy the view of the countryside!
