DB

Does Deutsche Bahn still operate night trains?

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.

What are the travel conditions like on these trains?

These trains only have first and second class seats. The cars remain lit throughout the night and the seats cannot be reclined.

ÖBB

The Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) operate the Nightjet and Euronight trains (the latter together with other national railway agencies).

What types of carriages are available on ÖBB trains?

ÖBB night trains typically feature three types of carriages: seats, couchettes, and sleepers.

What's the difference between seats, couchettes, and sleeper cars?

Seats are for the bravest, while couchettes and sleepers provide a more comfortable journey. In the couchettes, you can find simple and rather narrow berths, while the sleepers are equipped with proper beds and sometimes even a private bathroom. Couchettes can hold up to six people, whereas sleepers are private compartments for one to three people.

What amenities do sleeper cars offer?

They may include a private bathroom or shower, or sometimes just a sink.
