Germany to Switzerland by EuroCity Train | Mannheim - Zürich

Welcome to another video! In May 2023, I traveled from Frankfurt Germany to Zürich, Switzerland on a EuroCity train service. I had originally planned to take an ICE Service to Basel and then catch another train down to Zürich, but a last-minute change of plans meant I'd be taking the slower EuroCity Instead. EuroCity is a category of cross-border trains in Europe's Inter-city rail network. These trains are operated by two or more separate rail companies. Either from an EU Country or Switzerland. My journey today begins in Frankfurt where I'll catch an ICE service down to Mannheim, Germany. Then, I'll be getting on a Delayed EuroCity (EC 9) from Hamburg, which will take us on a nearly 4-hour ride over to Zürich, Switzerland.
Enjoy!

Thank you for this interesting video. Your comments about the SBB train are fair, but you really should raid the piggy-bank and travel 1st Class ! The seating in SBB 1st Class is excellent, being extremely comfortable and spacious. The Panorama cars are superb, and are highly recommended. They are also used on the joint SBB/OBB service from Zurich to Graz, and that route is really spectacular !

You won't believe it: This spring I was in the USA and they didn't accept Euros, neither cash nor Euro debit cards !

You have to get a travel loyalty credit card. (Such as airline or hotel credit credit card) That works the best normally in Europe as it has higher acceptance rate compared to other cards.
