There currently are a variety of options to travel by night train or night bus from Katowice (Poland) to Vienna (Austria), taking between approximately 6 and 8 hours: Namely the EN 40417, the IC 417, the IC 407, the EN 40407 and the BUS Krakov - Vídeň. These lines are operated by PKP Intercity, České dráhy, ÖBB and Regiojet.
PKP Intercity is Poland's national long-distance railway operator, running domestic and international train services throughout Poland and to neighboring countries.
České dráhy (ČD) is the Czech national railway operator, running domestic and international passenger trains connecting the Czech Republic with neighboring countries.
The Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) operate the Nightjet and Euronight trains (the latter together with other national railway agencies).
ÖBB night trains typically feature four types of carriages: seats, couchettes, the compact Mini Cabin, and sleepers.
Seats are for the bravest, while couchettes, Mini Cabins, and sleepers provide a more comfortable journey. In the couchettes, you can find simple and rather narrow berths. The Mini Cabin is a compact sleeping option for solo travelers – two Mini Cabins can be combined for couples. Sleepers are equipped with proper beds 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.
Sleepers may include a private bathroom or shower, or sometimes just a sink. The Mini Cabin bridges the gap between couchettes and sleepers, offering solo privacy at a lower price point.
Regiojet operates both night trains and night buses across Europe, providing various travel options.
Regiojet night trains offer a range of cabin options, from standard reclining seats in open compartments to private couchette cabins designed for one to four travelers, complete with bedding and duvets for a restful journey. Wifi is available and breakfast and coffee are served for free.
The night buses are designed with comfortable, spacious seats that recline, providing ample legroom. Each bus is equipped with individual power outlets, free hot drings, free WiFi, and onboard entertainment systems to enhance the travel experience. Buses also feature a toilet.
