Overnight journey from Prague to Zurich starting at 34 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 16 hours: Namely the EC 458, the EN 40458, the BUS Praha - Lyon, the BUS Praha - Milán and the BUS Praha - Curych. 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. In these night trains, there are only first and second class seats. The lights stay on all the time and there is no way to recline the seats.
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. While seats are only for the bravest, couchettes and sleepers offer a more comfortable journey. Couchettes can hold up to six people, whereas 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. Their night trains feature several types of cabins, including seats that can recline slightly for added comfort, as well as private sleeping couchettes that accommodate one to four passengers, equipped with bedding and duvets. Wifi is available and breakfast and coffee are complimentary. 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.
