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 16 hours: Namely the BUS Praha - Milán, the BUS Praha - Lyon, the BUS Praha - Curych, the EC 458 and the EN 40458. These lines are operated by Regiojet, Deutsche Bahn, ÖBB, České dráhy and SBB CFF FFS.
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.
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).
The ÖBB usually offer four types of carriages in their night trains: seats, couchettes, Mini Cabins, and sleepers.
While seats are only for the bravest, couchettes, Mini Cabins, and sleepers offer a more comfortable journey. The couchettes usually feature simple and rather narrow berths, while the Mini Cabin provides a compact private space for one person. Two adjacent Mini Cabins can be combined for couples. Sleepers boast beds with duvets and pillows 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 sometimes include a private bathroom or even a shower, sometimes only a sink. The Mini Cabin offers a more affordable private alternative with its own compact sleeping space for one person.
České dráhy (ČD) is the Czech national railway operator, running domestic and international passenger trains connecting the Czech Republic with neighboring countries.
