ÖBB

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 accommodate up to six people, while 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.

Snälltåget

Snälltåget offers night travel with various comfort levels on night trains between European cities.

What accommodation options are available?

Snälltåget provides three options: budget seats in open coaches, berths in shared compartments for up to six people, and private compartments for groups. All berths include pillows, sheets, blankets and duvets.

How do the compartments work?

Both shared and private compartments transform from day seating configuration to night bed mode. With three berths per side and ladder access to upper berths, private compartments offer the best option for groups.

Are pets and bicycles allowed?

Pets are only allowed in private compartments and must be registered during booking. Bicycles cannot be brought on the train, but folding bikes can be stored as hand luggage in the compartment or on luggage racks in the seating coach.
