Hello, I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I would like to know if I can travel from Berlin to Firenze by common normal train. How many days it takes? Have I any problem if I buy my ticket in the station or I need to reserve online? I understand that I have to buy Berlin-Munich and Munich-Firenze separately. I need to know if the travel takes a time of 21hs. It's correct? What means complements? I'm so sorry about my poor english. Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi.
You can buy it in one ticket at Deutsche Bahn, the German national railway company.
It should be possible to order online as e-ticket and print it.
Booking: [ux]https://rail.shop/bahn[/ux]
Schedule:
Berlin Hbf dep: 1439 | ICE train
München Hbf arr: 2046
München Hbf dep: 2102 | CNL - City Night Line train
Firenze S.M.N. arr: 0618
Fares [b]starting from[/b] (for persons [b]NOT[/b] traveling with a rail pass):
seat: EUR 63
couchette (6-beds): EUR 79
couchette (4-beds): EUR 89
If you travel [b]WITH[/b] a rail pass (InterRail or EuRail), you only need a reservation for the CNL night train. The ICE train is free of reservation fees.
Prices: [u]https://rail.cc/en/night-train/germany/de[/u]
Maybe think about using an earlier train from Berlin to Munich, as it might happen that the ICE is some minutes in delay arriving in Munich.

At the station you won't get these special prices mentioned above. There it will be the normal fare you can buy there (double price!!!).
Ask an English speaking friend who might help you ordering the ticket online or switch the language to SPANISH. :)
Travel time like mentioned above: 15 hours
If you want to use the night train, book online.
If you want to pay more and travel during the day, it shouldn't be a problem to buy the ticket the same day in Berlin main station.
