There currently are a variety of options to travel by night bus or night train from Prague (Czech Republic) to Zurich (Switzerland), taking between approximately 10 and 15 hours: Namely the BUS Praha - Curych, the BUS Praha - Lyon, the BUS Praha - Milán, the EN 40458 and the EC 458. These lines are operated by Regiojet, ÖBB and DB.
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.
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).
The ÖBB usually offer four types of carriages in their night trains: seats, couchettes, Mini Cabins, 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 accommodate up to six people, Mini Cabins are designed for one person each but two can be combined for couples, while 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.
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.
