Hey guys,
First time railcc. My girlfriend and I need to get from Milan to Prague in 9 days. Wondering what the best / most scenic / fun route to take would be. Keep in mind the time of year is November.
Current plan is Milan -> Zurich -> Munich -> Prague.
Full details here:

I've already done Northern Italy, so I don't want to spend much time there.
We will have one large suitcase each, and a small carry-on with us.
Does anyone else have any tips or suggestions? I'm not sure if I should do any overnight travels.
Thanks so much

Hi!
My personal favourite is this route across the Alps: [u]https://rail.cc/blog/zurich-milano-albula-bernina/[/u]
This route can be really nice in winter as well: [u]https://rail.cc/blog/zurich-milano-albula-bernina/[/u] (these pictures are from February, in November there is snow already but the weather can be quite harsh sometimes...I travelled there once in end of October and visibility was quite low)
You could get cheap tickets for the route Tirano - Zürich (up to 48 hours stopover possible) via our affiliate link [ux]https://rail.shop/bahn[/ux] (enter Zürich as a via stop with up to 48 hours stopover time), just ask if you need assistance with booking.
Milan - Tirano can be bought locally.
Of course the direct Milan - Zürich route is quite scenic as well.
On the route from Munich to Praha I would recommend to take one of the direct trains (instead of DB Intercity buses) which carry a Czech restaurant car (dep Munich 1244 and 1702).
The only overnight train on this route would be Zürich - Prague but this would require to go to Munich first and would be more expensive overall.
