ÖBB Nightjet
ÖBB Nightjet trains are operated by the Austrian railways (ÖBB) and offer an extensive overnight network throughout Europe. Travel from city to city comfortably during the night with ÖBB Nightjet and save the daytime for sightseeing. Travel to famous cities like Vienna, Munich, Rome and Berlin and arrive there well-rested, with a whole day of exploring ahead of you!
The flagship of ÖBB's night train fleet is the ‘Nightjet new generation’. In addition to the most modern seats, couchettes and sleeping cars, it has a new concept called ‘Mini Cabin’. Passengers will now be able to sleep in private pods with the same comfort as modern couchettes. Information on the comfort categories of the new generation Nightjet can be found on their website.
In addition to the 'Nightjet new generation', ÖBB also runs with other types of rolling stock and Euro Night trains in cooperation with other European railway operators. Information about comfort categories can be found on the Nightjet website.
