Officials hail the new route as a symbol of the friendship between two of Europe’s most important economic powers.
A new high-speed rail route connecting Berlin and Paris began service on Monday, offering an 8-hour trip between the European capitals.
According to an article in DW, “The once-a-day service with German rail operator Deutsche Bahn's (DB) high-speed ICE train — operated in collaboration with France's SNCF — comes amid a strong appetite for more rail options.” DB has struggled to keep its trains reliable, but the company says it is aiming to improve that.
One-way tickets on the new route cost as little as €24.99, but go up in price to €99 or more based on amenities and demand. The train makes stops in Frankfurt, Karlsruhe, and Strasbourg.
