Travel plans, routes and timetables / Stuttgart-Munich-Paris-Stuttgart Help
« on: July 02, 2012, 06:09:07 pm »
What a wonderful forum! Thank you. We are a family of 3 (2 adults + 1 14yr old child) traveling by train in a couple of weeks and could very much use help after doing much research and ending up with a few questions.
This is our itinerary and I believe we are best booking point to point tickets in advance vs. a pass.
One key question I have is, once we book tickets in advance - what is the procedure/penalty if we decide to change our itinerary?
1. Stuttgart-Munich (Monday) We might like to stop in Dachau - how would we book this, or can we get off and resume our ticket?
2. Munich-Paris (Option A) Night train Tuesday; (Option B) morning train Wednesday. I am not sure which Paris station to choose. We will likely get a car service to take us to our rental. Do you recommend the night train? We would want to book the 3 person bed option. Otherwise like to take a high speed train in the morning.
3. Paris-Stuttgart (Saturday)
We will also do regional travel such as Munich to visit Neuschwanstein, Paris to Versailles; and use Metros for travel around the cities. Should we buy those types of tickets once in the city we will be based in?
Thank you!
