Overnight journey from Prague to Zurich starting at 38 EUR
There currently are a variety of options to travel by night train or night bus from Prague (Czech Republic) to Zurich (Switzerland), taking between approximately 10 and 15 hours: Namely the EC 458, the EN 40458, the BUS Praha - Lyon, the BUS Praha - Curych and the BUS Praha - Milán. These lines are operated by DB, ÖBB and Regiojet.
Deutsche Bahn (DB) exited the actual night train business in 2016. However, it operates around a dozen Intercity and Eurocity trains that run exclusively at night. These trains only have first and second class seats. The cars remain lit throughout the night and the seats cannot be reclined.
The Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) operate the Nightjet and Euronight trains (the latter together with other national railway agencies). ÖBB night trains typically feature three types of carriages: seats, couchettes, and sleepers. Seats are for the bravest, while couchettes and sleepers provide a more comfortable journey. Couchettes accommodate up to six people, while sleepers are private compartments for one to three people. They may include a private bathroom or shower, or sometimes just a sink.
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. Regiojet night buses feature ergonomic seating that can recline for comfort, with generous legroom and amenities such as USB charging ports, free WiFi, personal entertainment screens, and complimentary refreshments available during the journey. There is also a toilet on the bus.
