How Do You Book Train Travel From Interlaken To Hamburg?
After skiing the slopes around Interlaken, Switzerland, continue by train to Hamburg, Germany. This port city by the river Elbe is among the country’s largest and is thought by many to be the birthplace of the hamburger sandwich. Use SBB’s or Deutsche Bahn’s trip planning features on their websites to find trains between these 2 cities. Take the most direct route, which requires a transfer in Basel, Switzerland and takes a little over 9 hours. Notice that you will travel on 2 styles of train, the InterCity or IC from Interlaken to Basel and the InterCity Express or ICE from Basel to Hamburg. It is possible to book first class tickets on both of these trains and you will find the amenities to be very similar. Travel a little slower on the IC train than the ICE. Germany’s ICE trains are comparable to high speed trains such as France’s TGV, and can travel at speeds up to 300 kilometers per hour. Plan to spend around 150 Euros or more when you book train travel between Interlaken and Hambu
