The Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) operate the Nightjet and Euronight trains (the latter together with other national railway agencies).

What types of carriages are available on ÖBB trains?

The ÖBB usually offer three types of carriages in their night trains: seats, couchettes, and sleepers.

What's the difference between seats, couchettes, and sleeper cars?

While seats are only for the bravest, couchettes and sleepers offer a more comfortable journey. The couchettes usually feature simple and rather narrow berths, while the sleepers boast beds with duvets and pillows and sometimes even a private bathroom. Couchettes can hold up to six people, whereas sleepers are private compartments for one to three people.

What amenities do sleeper cars offer?

They sometimes include a private bathroom or even a shower, sometimes only a sink.
