Practical tips
Look for Munich Hauptbahnhof and Augsburg Hauptbahnhof on your ticket. Both are central main stations, so you avoid the confusion of outlying stops and can easily connect to local transport on arrival.
On a short hop like this, the fastest train rarely saves much over a slower regional one. Compare the options on the booking page and pick the cheapest that suits your schedule.
Platforms can change shortly before departure. Check the departure board in the hall and the destination and train number shown on your e-ticket before heading to the tracks.
Fares vary with date and how early you book. Reserving ahead online usually gets you the lowest price and an instant e-ticket on your phone, so there is nothing to print or queue for.
If you are doing a day trip, note the evening departures before you leave Munich. Keeping a buffer after dinner or sightseeing avoids missing the last convenient service back.
