Travelling from Munich to Rome by train
Europe. It’s a magical place, so it’s only right that you travel by equally as magically means – train! The route from Munich to Rome will take you to some of the best cities on the continent and all in fantastic comfort. Travel from the home of world-class beer to the home of Roman history in 9 hours. That’s city centre to city centre by great, green and grand style (well, you can’t get much grander than your own private cabin aboard the Nightjet, can you? We’ll accept a plush seat on a ÖBB train just as happily though!). So, sit back, relax and watch the beauty of two countries pass outside your window.
Once in Rome, swap pints for pizza (Pizza Bianca is unlike any you’ll have tried before) in the Italian capital. We don’t want to encourage anyone to be a ‘typical’ tourist but considering you’ll have arrived by train, you’ve already elevated yourself. So go ahead and follow the well-worn path to the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Vatican, although a stop to the ‘keyhole to the cupola’ is a lesser known spot your Instagram will thank you for. Check out our journey information below to get your adventure underway!

Cheap train tickets from Munich Hbf to Rome
Book in advance
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 Munich Hbf to Rome by booking early.§
Be flexible with your travel times
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.
Choose a slower or connecting train
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!
