Questions

Nightjet, answered

Nightjet is the night-train brand of ÖBB, Austrian Federal Railways, launched in 2016.

It is Europe’s largest night-train operator, with 16 lines of its own in 2026 and more sold through EuroNight partner railways. Nightjet 2026 ↗

From Vienna to Rome, Venice, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Brussels, Zürich and Bregenz; from Munich to Rome; from Stuttgart to Venice; from Innsbruck to Amsterdam and Hamburg; from Zürich to Amsterdam, Hamburg and Berlin; from Graz to Zürich and Berlin; and a summer train from Vienna to Split. Line list ↗

No.

ÖBB ended Vienna–Paris and Berlin–Paris on 14 December 2025 after the French government withdrew its funding.

European Sleeper now runs Paris–Berlin. Paris–Berlin →

ÖBB’s new seven-car trains with en suite sleepers, fixed-bed 4-berth couchettes, Mini Cabin sleeping pods, Wi-Fi and bike spaces.

They are being introduced line by line; the Vienna–Zürich train switched over in June 2026.

On booking, new cars are labelled “comfort”. ÖBB ↗

Direct Nightjets can be booked up to 360 days ahead since September 2026.

EuroNight partner trains and the Brussels and Amsterdam Nightjets open much later, sometimes only two to four months ahead. night-trains.eu ↗

Yes, with a compulsory reservation: from €4.90 for a seat to €19.90–€94.90 for a couchette or Mini Cabin and more for sleepers. Reservation fees →

For distance and frequency, nothing else in Europe comes close: most lines run every night.

The older cars can be tired and engineering works cause cancellations, so check your date close to travel.

The new-generation trains are a clear step up.
