There currently are a variety of options to travel by night bus or night train from Prague (Czech Republic) to Frankfurt am Main (Germany), taking between approximately 6 and 10 hours: Namely the BUS Praha - Amsterdam, the EN 40458 and the LE 232. These lines are operated by Regiojet, ÖBB and Leo Express.
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.
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.
The Czech operator Leo Express runs a couchette train between Frankfurt and Przemyśl several times a week, calling at Erfurt, Leipzig, Dresden, Prague, Ostrava and Kraków. Its overnight trains between Prague and Warsaw and from Prešov to Prague are seating-only, and a night bus links Lviv and Kraków.
In the couchette car you book a berth in a shared 4-person compartment (Economy Sleeper), or in a women-only compartment (Economy Sleeper Lady) that is also open to women with children under 10. Breakfast and a small kit with water, earplugs and an eye mask are included.
Economy is the basic class with free Wi-Fi and a small table at every seat. Economy Plus adds leather seats and selected drinks, Business a separate section with refreshments included, and Premium a quiet compartment with only six reclining leather seats.
