Munich and Frankfurt from Budapest

Independent 5-day rail trip from Budapest to Munich and Frankfurt

Railbookers operates this 5-day, 4-night independent rail package starting in Budapest. Travelers ride a RailJet train through Austria to Munich, where the listing highlights the vibrant history of the Bavarian capital, then continue by high-speed ICE train to Frankfurt, described as a city of historic and modern contrasts. Railbookers also positions this route as a convenient extension to take before or after a river cruise, rather than only as a standalone city trip. Because this is an independent package, travelers explore each city at their own pace between the named train journeys rather than following a tour guide. The trip suits independent explorers who want named, specific train connections through Austria and Germany, as well as travelers already booked on a river cruise looking to add extra time on land. Railbookers prices the package from $1,149 per person.
