Rail Pass Users:
The reservation rules are different when using a rail pass to travel to Italy by these trains.
Rail pass users must make reservations prior to boarding, irrespective if you will be using a 1st or 2nd class pass.
However, this rail pass 'supplement' is not sold online by DB Bahn, but it can be arranged without payment of a booking fee at a Reisezentrum Travel desk at any hauptbahnhof station, including Munchen Hbf.
Travelling from Munchen Ost station:
When making a booking online on DB Bahn, it uses ‘Munich (München)’ as a default for looking up journeys from the city in the ‘From’ box.
But it is possible to select München Ost as the ‘From’ station (you need to use the German spelling with the character (the umlaut) over the ‘u’).
You won’t save any money by booking from München Ost, but the departure time of your train from Munchen Ost will be on your ticket.

If the starting point of journey is in central Munich/München (around Marienplatz), it will be a quicker trip if you take a local S-bahn from a station in the city centre and make a connection at München Ost.
The train journey between Rosenheim and Verona is one of the most incredible in Europe, but sit on the right of the train (when facing the direction of travel) to see the best of the stunning views.
Though the first of the scenic highlights, when the train follows the River Inn from Kuftstein into Innsbruck, is on the left.
But the most incredible part of the journey is that between Innsbruck and the border at Brennero.
And as can be seen in that video, the best of the views on this part of the train ride can be seen on the right.
Between Brennero and Verona the railway route primarily travels through a massive valley, by the River Adige and on this part of the journey, there are some great views to be had from either side of the train.
The train is usually scheduled to depart from Munchen Hbf at 20:10 and arrive in Verona Porta Nuova at 05:51- note the early arrival!
