Stop in Leipzig. Beautiful little train station with a few amenities. It's in a great location…read moreright near the central area in order to grab a bite and/or drink.

I traveled around Germany by rail and this station was the most impressive one…read more Arriving from Berlin, when I first stepped off of the train, I thought I arrived back 100 years ago. Very East German style, although they were destroyed during the WWII, they restored it so nicely, they kept the old charm. I was told this is the largest railway station in the world by square meters but they were designed well, it is easy to make it connection yet going downstairs, you get to enjoy good food and shopping (it's like a huge shopping mall). This station was perhaps cleanest hauptbanhof I've visited and felt very safe there. Buying tickets and getting information on kiosk was easy to navigate. They also have information center at the ground level if you prefer to speak in person. They also have signs throughout to tell you if trains are on time. Most delays I saw was 10 mins.
