Hi,
I’m looking to spend around three or four days travelling from Munich to Florence at the start of June.
Do you have any advice on a good, scenic route with good towns to stay in on the way?
Also, I won’t be buying an Interrail/Eurail pass as this will be the only journey I will be taking. Do you have a rough idea of how much this entire journey will cost if I bought individual tickets?
Thanks,
Gethin

Hi Gethin!
In principle I'd see two options:
a) via Austria and the Brenner railway: Munich - Innsbruck - Bozen/Bolzano - Verona - Bologna - Florence
From Munich to Innsbruck there are two routes, the more scenic one runs via Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
Tickets from Munich to Innsbruck or even further to Italy are available via [ux]https://rail.shop/bahn[/ux] - you can even enter a via stop in Innsbruck of up to 48 hours on a through ticket to Italy.
In Italy, I'd go with regional trains, tickets can be bought at the spot and are really cheap.
b) via Switzerland and the Bernina railway: Munich - Lindau - St Moritz - Tirano - Milan - Bologna - Florence.
Bernina Railway: [u]https://rail.cc/blog/zurich-milano-albula-bernina/[/u]
Tickets from Munich to Tirano are available via [ux]https://rail.shop/bahn[/ux]
From Tirano to Milan travel by local train, tickets are available locally in Tirano at the cafe beside the station building.
From Milan you could either take regional trains again or book a high speed train directly to Florence, either via trenitalia.com or [u]https://rail.shop/italo/[/u]

Hi Flo,
Thanks for the response - both those options look great.
I'll look into them further then get back to you if we've got any questions.
Cheers.
