Night train from Innsbruck to Hamburg starting at 50 EUR
There currently are a variety of options to travel by night train from Innsbruck (Austria) to Hamburg (Germany), taking between approximately 11 and 15 hours: Namely the NJ 40420 and the 304. These lines are operated by ÖBB and Snälltåget.
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 four types of carriages in their night trains: seats, couchettes, Mini Cabins, and sleepers.
What's the difference between seats, couchettes, Mini Cabins, and sleeper cars?
While seats are only for the bravest, couchettes, Mini Cabins, and sleepers offer a more comfortable journey. The couchettes usually feature simple and rather narrow berths, while the Mini Cabin provides a compact private space for one person. Two adjacent Mini Cabins can be combined for couples. Sleepers boast beds with duvets and pillows and sometimes even a private bathroom. Couchettes can hold up to six people. The Mini Cabin is a private space for one person – two adjacent Mini Cabins can be connected for traveling together. Sleepers are private compartments for one to three people.
What amenities do sleeper cars offer?
Sleepers sometimes include a private bathroom or even a shower, sometimes only a sink. The Mini Cabin offers a more affordable private alternative with its own compact sleeping space for one person.
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?
In shared and private compartments, seats convert to berths at night. Each compartment features three berths on each side with ladders to reach the upper berths. Private compartments are ideal for groups seeking more privacy.
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.
