The first train was from Eindhoven to Den Bosch. The second train was from Den Bosch to Deventer. Then, I took the main intercity express (ICE) train to Berlin. In terms of purchasing tickets, when traveling to Germany, The easiest way is through the DB app, Deutsche Bahn. If you travel a lot with the German express trains, I advise you to subscribe annually. There are two types of subscriptions. 25% discount on normal prices. 50% discount on normal prices. With these two subscriptions, you will save a lot from the price of the regular ticket. DB will send you the BahnCard to your address. This card will be checked by the train controller with the ticket. Subscription prices are 63 euros for the BahnCard of the 25 percent discounts. 244 euros for the BahnCard of the 50 percent discounts. There is no need to carry on the BahnCard with you. The DB application provides it as an electronic card. Steps of purchasing train tickets from the DB application are simple and easy. If you have a discount card, specify whether it is 25% or 50% before the start. So that you can get the reduced prices in the DB app. I arrived to the Den Bosch station. Now, I am riding the second train towards Deventer station. Number 1, refers to the cabins of Business class seats. Number 2, refers to the cabins of Economy class seats. The Dutch express trains, or as they are known by NS Intercity Direct. They are large trains, but their speed do not exceed 160 kilometers per hour. Considering that the Dutch railways are a crowded network, and the distances between cities are short. On Dutch trains. There are no numbers for seats. Therefore, there is no possibility of reserving a seat, unlike the German trains. It is 7:30 in the morning. The European people is so active in the morning, in such a way that energizes you. I was enjoying the sunrise, and I was watching the DB application and seeing when I have to change to the next train. The application has real time tracking feature, and it sends you notifications, in case of any delay or changes on the tracks. Here, we have arrived to Deventer station, the transfer time was more than 20 minutes. The most important advice. If you are traveling within the European Union between 2 countries. Choose the transfer time between 2 trains to be more than 15 minutes, specifically if the train is getting you on a long traveling distance. Sometimes, there are delays, or you are slow in transferring between tracks. Especially when you are new to the station or it is a very big one. You can reserve a seat for a fee, and I strongly advise you to reserve a seat, because you may end up not finding one. If you have not reserved your own seat in advance, like me, you will have to get up from your place every time you are asked to leave the seat by someone who has reserved it. You will have to get up and search again for a new place. All chairs have numbers, and above the chairs there are small screens that show if the seat was reserved or not. This means you can sit in any place if the seat was not reserved for the destination you are traveling to. Halfway through, I had to change the seat, but luckily, there was an empty seat on the other side. The fee for reserving a seat in the Second Class is 5 euros. A large number of passengers on German express trains (ICE), reserve seats Especially, if they are traveling in groups of friends or families. In order to avoid being scattered on random seats. Specifically, when the travel time is long. Here, I have arrived to Berlin Spandau, which is one of the main stations in Berlin. It has a main station for high-speed trains, and a metro station. I was heading towards Berlin Central Station, which is one of the most luxurious and beautiful stations in Europe. This is the Rathaus Spandau metro station. It was opened in 1984, and it is part of the Berlin subway network. Berlin subway began its operation in 1902 AD. Soon, there will be a detailed video about Berlin subway network system. This is the newest model of the German express trains, or as the are known (ICE). Each compartment has a screen that displays the train number, the compartment you are in, the itinerary and the stopping stations. Seats on these trains have small screens. If the seat is reserved, the screen will show you on which section this seat is reserved In case you get a non-reserved seat, you can reserve it free of charge, from the DB application. Through a process called Comfort Check-In. This option will only be available during the trip. Before train departure, if you want to reserve a seat, you must pay a fee. Finally, we arrived to Berlin Central Station, or as it is known in German, HauptBahnhof. It was opened on May 26, 2006 before the World Cup finals, which Germany has hosted it that year. This station is considered the largest transit station in all of Europe. The building consists of 5 floors, and the train tracks passes from the ground floor to the fifth floor. With a unique design that reflects the beauty and creativity of modern architecture.
