What are the advantages of taking a train from Salzburg to Munich?

Trains also provide a higher level of comfort, with more space to move around and access to onboard amenities. Additionally, train travel is more environmentally friendly compared to car rentals and flights, making it a sustainable choice for eco-conscious travelers.

Is the train ride from Salzburg to Munich scenic?

Very professional and convenient service and reasonably priced too!

“Daytrip picked us up at our hotel in Munich and drove us to our hotel in Salzburg. It couldn't have been more convenient. The price was the same as the 6 of us paying for the train. The car was comfortable and the car arrived early. We were texted when he arrived. I was surprised about how easy it was to get a quote. I was very impressed by this company. I considered using them during other parts of our journey. I always considered them in the equation when trying to figure out about the best way between point a and point b.”

Trip from Munich to Salzburg to Prague to Slovakia to Budapest with side trips

“Depending on the city, 9-10 of us (all Americans from various states) traveled exclusively using mydaytrip. What a wonderful experience!! We started with pick up at Munich Airport, then transport with side trips to Salzburg, Prague, Bratislava, and Budapest. The drivers were prompt, spoke fluent English, were knowledgeable and extremely personable. The cars/vans were clean and safe. I plan to use this service for every European trip going forward.”

I love daytrip.com

“I recently used daytrip twice. Once from Munich to Salzburg with stops at Kufstein and Hallein, and another from Salzburg to Vienna. I think daytrip is a great idea. It saves me from all the trouble of planning, and the hassles of travelling via other mode of transports (Train/fly) across Europe.. The drive was punctual, the car is clean, and the whole drive was smooth. If only! It can be a bit cheaper.😆”

Thanks for the great Door to Door service in Europe!

“We just returned home, from seven weeks in Europe. We used your wonderful service for four different trips: Budapest to Krakow, Krakow to Prague, Prague to Salzburg, and, Salzburg to Munich. Thank you for offering such a wonderful service! It was an absolute pleasure to sit back, relax and enjoy the scenery while your wonderful drivers, who were all engaging and conversational, took us to our destination. We loved having excursions planned, on two of the longer trips, as they gave us a chance to get out and get some exercise while enjoying places we would not have seen otherwise. If we ever need a driver while traveling we will gladly use this welcome and awesome service! Many thanks, Dyann and Wild”

Private Transfer by DayTrip

“DayTrip organized our private one way transfer from Salzburg to Munich. Excellent experience in every aspect. Van was a MBZ for 8 passengers (we were only 4), looked brand new. The driver, Harald was very courteous, well dressed, took care of our luggage, helped us seniors getting in and out of the van, drove safely and since we were not in a rush took us via a scenic route and not the autobahn, it took 15 min longer. Cost was one third of air tickets and less time door to door than flying. Highly recommend it, especially if you are a group of 4 to 8.”

Trip from Munich to Salzburg

“We had an excellent experience going from Munich to Salzburg with Marjot. We chose 2 stops on the way and saw Herrenchiemsee Palace (which took longer than alloted). She helped us get tickets and made sure we knew which ferry would return to the dock where she waited. We also had lunch and an excellent stop at Schonauan Konigsee. She took beautiful back roads so we could enjoy our alps journey even more. I think she might have been as enthusiastic as we were on this spectacular drive. I would highly recommend this tour.”

Great experience using Daytrip

“We used Daytrip for the first time from Munich to Salzburg because we wanted to stop and explore Konigsee on the way. Driver picked up us (and our luggage) at the hotel and right on time. He was really friendly and nice to talk to. It was such a great experience that we ended up using Daytrip for our return trip to Munich a week later. Again, had a really interesting and entertaining driver (Michal) who took us the scenic route through Germany which was beautiful. Really great experience with the company. Super easy to book on line and very responsive when we needed to change a pick up time.”

Stress Reliever!

“While visiting family in the Salzburg area, my mother sustained a knee injury which made our planned return to Munich by train impossible. Salzburg airport was also completely closed for renovations, so air travel was out. My husband did a little searching and found Daytrip for us. What a relief! The Daytrip staff was communicative and helpful throughout. I had a few questions about the process and the staff always answered the phone immediately and responded to emails within a few hours. Our driver arrived exactly at the appointed time and got us to Munich in two hours. While more expensive than the train, this service was less expensive than airfare from Salzburg to Munich for my mother and myself, and so much more convenient. I will definitely keep Daytrip in mind for future trips.”

Excellent All Round

“We were a group of 4 adults travelling through Europe. We made use of the services of Daytrip to travel from Munich to Salzburg with a lengthy stop at Koenigssee. Marjut was our driver and she was wonderful from start to finish. The booking process is straight-forward, with no hidden charges. Particularly good is being able to pay the driver in cash at the completion of the journey - no stressing about losing one's money in the event of a no-show. We highly recommend this company and will be a customer again in the future.”
