I was very impressed with the efficiency and comfort I had in the bullet trains we rode in. while…read morewe were in Germany. Specifically the trains that these guys own and operate. We took these trains from Dresden to Munich (about 4 hours), Munich to Hamburg (about 6 hours), and Hamburg to Dresden (about 4 hours). I would have given it 5 stars if the chairs in the private booths were able to recline. Other than that, these trains are cool. I really dug the small restaurant that the trains had. If you're craving a good small warm snack while riding the train, visit the restaurant and have the Goulash Suppe. Be advised... If you want water, they're gonna ask if you want it with gas (carbonated) or no gas. Oh yeah, do not be late. They are typically on schedule, so if you're not there and ready to board, you're SOL. They also provide constant real-time updates for the trains on monitors at the boarding platforms.

But as a historical sight this certainly has its value, it's an engineering masterpiece for sure. I highly recommend visiting Wuppertal where you can enjoy almost the system (horizontal though) for much, much longer! The Wuppertal Suspension Railway (Wuppertaler Schwebebahn) was designed by the same guy (Eugen Langen) as this one and is in my humble opinion the best public transportation system in the world. Would I return? Not likely, once is enough

Anyway, when we got there the ticket machine was only taking coins and most people were very frustrated as each ticket costs €5 and when you have a small group then producing that much change in coins is pretty hard for most. Anyway eventually the guy came out and started selling tickets and everyone was able to get one. The journey itself is very short and once you are on top you can have a great view of the city of Dresden. The journey itself is least exciting and slow. Besides the lookout deck there is nothing else really there. I am glad I did it but I won't be repeating it again. There are so many other things to do in town ;-))
