Independent rail trip from Passau to Munich and Frankfurt

Illustration of Munich and Frankfurt from Passau

Railbookers operates this 5-day independent rail vacation from Passau to Munich and Frankfurt, with Rail Specialist support and no fixed group departures. On Day 1, a regional train meanders across Bavaria from Passau to Munich, where you settle in for 2 nights and spend Day 2 taking in the Town Hall's Glockenspiel and a wander through the Englischer Garten, with an evening option at the Hofbrauhaus or another state-owned beer hall. A high-speed ICE train then carries you to Frankfurt on Day 3 for a further 2 nights, with time to visit the top of the Main Tower. Day 4 covers Frankfurt's Altstadt district and Romerberg square, crossing the 1869 Eiserner Steg iron bridge to the riverside Sachsenhausen district and its cider houses. The package includes rail tickets, hotel rooms, and breakfast only, which suits independent travelers who prefer to arrange their own sightseeing and meals rather than follow a fixed program.

What to know before you look closer
