"The real star, however, is the Christmas Market-themed dining car, where the celebration begins long before Munich. As the train travels through cypress-dotted hills and snow-laced Alpine peaks, passengers can sing, dance, and dine from cars decorated with retro details such as red vinyl chairs and white tablecloths. Everyone receives a small gift upon boarding. The train travels through the heart of Europe's Christmas market corridor, with 11 stops between Rome and Munich, including Verona, Italy; Bolzano's Piazza Walther; Innsbruck, Austria; and Kufstein, Austria."
