New Beer Train From Rome To Munich Promises Bavarian Delights For Oktoberfest
Travel and Tour World Fri, Aug 29, 2025

Onboard the Munich Express, sometimes called Espresso Monaco, passengers can revel in a sixteen-hour scenic journey that transports them, offering much more than traditional transport. Moreover, the train will feature Bavarian music as well as draft beer, and the Oktoberfest spirit will be enjoyed from the comfort of the sleeper cabins. Not only does this new service add to the fun and excitement, it also eases the stress of traveling to the iconic festival.
A Bavarian-Themed Adventure
Unlike other night trains, the Munich Express has a specific purpose–it is for Oktoberfest travelers. It features Bavarian-themed entertainment that gets the passengers in the mood for the festival as soon as the journey begins. As the festival attendees board the train in Rome at 8 PM, they are greeted with the famous Bavarian atmosphere, Festival music, and even beer!
Travelers are treated to a hearty meal comprising pretzels and sausages, and freshly poured draft beer. They can also soak in the festival atmosphere. The train’s coaches have different seating and sleeping arrangements. For a sleeping car, a passenger can opt for a couchette. There are also private seating arrangements for solo travelers and family travelers. If traveling in groups, there are four-berth sleeper compartments, which are comfortable and shared.
While the train traverses through Florence, Verona, Bologna, and the stunning Alps, Italy’s most picturesque landscapes, the passengers can also enjoy the breathtaking view of the Austrian countryside. The journey enhances the mood for Oktoberfest as much as the pretzels do.

The Train’s Schedule and Fares
The Munich Express will be operational on September 26 and October 3 for the 2025 Oktoberfest season. The train will not only be making stops in Munich but will also be departing from Rome’s Termini Station every Friday at 8 PM. For the Train, it has a 1-hour and 30-minute delay, which means it will be arriving in Munich at 2:30 PM the weekend after. This means that travelers can wake up in Munich, ready to experience the world-renowned festival.
The Train has also kept in mind the returning travelers, and so for them it has scheduled a 2:30 PM departure on Sunday from Munich. This return service will be arriving in Rome at 6:30 AM the following Monday. For passengers wishing to experience Oktoberfest, the round-trip service from Munich to Rome is unparalleled.
As has already been highlighted, there are no complicated stops along the way, which makes the round-trip service convenient and hassle-free. The Train also prides itself on its flexible pricing, which allows all passengers to be able to travel without worrying about spending so much. For more expensive ways to travel, the recommendation is always to have a round-trip ticket. All one-way tickets are also priced at €99 for the train, meaning that a return trip is much more affordable bringing it down to €89. This makes the Train a much more attractive option for all travelers.
The Express from Munich can be boarded from other Italian cities such as Trento, Verona, Bressanone, and Bolzano, in addition to the main departure points in Rome. This further enhances the accessibility for travelers coming from regions nearer to Munich.
An Experience Like No Other
The convenience of boarding a train to Oktoberfest instead of a long-distance flight saves a great deal of time. Passengers traveling on the Munich Express can begin their Oktoberfest celebration the minute they board the train. In addition to the dressed Bavarian train staff, the Bavarian entertainment on the train adds to the festive atmosphere, making sure the celebration starts long before the travelers reach the festival.
In addition to the above-mentioned benefits, the Express also allows travelers to enjoy the scenic views of Italy and Austria without having to stress over airport formalities and checking in bags. Passengers can look forward to an amazing time during Oktoberfest while simply focusing on the journey.
Reasons Why Oktoberfest in Berlin is Becoming Increasingly Popular
Despite the fact that the Munich Express seeks to incentivize travel to Oktoberfest in Munich, there is an emerging change in travel tendencies in Munich. More and more, Berlin is substituting Munich for an increasing number of tourists. Berlin Oktoberfest’s fame is partially due to being more affordable than the festival in Munich, and this is supported by the research of Thomas Cook.
Berlin’s version of Oktoberfest features elements of Bavarian culture, for example, oompah bands, steins, and Bavarian food, but at a much lower price compared to Munich. Due to the increase in prices in Munich, Berlin is a much more appealing option for tourists to enjoy the Oktoberfest experience.
Conclusion
Italy’s Munich Express creatively combines the spirit of Bavaria and the serenity of a scenic train ride, while simultaneously providing an elegant way to travel to Oktoberfest. The Munich Express promises a memorable journey to the festival and is filled with Bavarian-themed entertainment alongside good food and comfortable accommodations. The sleeper train makes the experience completely effortless, while also providing an exciting atmosphere; the service is guaranteed to make this Oktoberfest unforgettable.
