Used to work on these trains as a conductor. The staff all hated these double decker wagons and the Vienna-Zürich-Hamburg route. Best wagons were the old German sleeper carriages with blue upholstery. Excellent design, and loved by passengers and staff alike. They were only used on the routes to Milan, Venice and Rome. Please spare a small tip for your wagon attendants if you can. It's a tough job, especially in summer, and the company doesn't treat the workers very well.
I always do 🙂
I like this night train. Last time I even had a compartment all to myself with my own shower and toilet. I found that very practical, because I prefer to sleep showered.
That's so sad to hear the company doesn't treat the wagon attendance well you guys do such a service
I always wonder why they do not consult people like you before designing such things. People who are using it every day should be asked.
@@krollpeter They actually have with their new sleeper coaches!
What a great thing, to watch this video and to recognize the Vienna Central train station with all it's amenities. We took a night train from Vienna to Venice and it was an adventure for our child. I love my Vienna.
Me too ☺️
Greetings from Vienna ❤️
I arrived earlier than the notification. I think Renfe needs to take notes on ÖBB brand new Nightjet to operate routes on Spain & Portugal and recover Overnight trains like the Madrid-Lisbon, Madrid-Galicia, Barcelona-Galicia/Asturias or the most convenient of all, Hendaye-Lisbon *Video's score: A perfect & round 10*
Also south-north, like sevilla-santiago following the vía de la plata through León, or Málaga-Basque Country through Madrid
@@alberto1311 The Málaga-Basque Country Overnight Train Service existed once, but the Santiago-Seville Overnight Train Service needs to pass through Madrid. But, if you're interested in knowing all Trenhotel Services, here you have the whole list: National routes: Trenhotel Rías Bajas: Madrid - Vigo - Pontevedra Trenhotel Atlántico: Madrid - A Coruña - Ferrol Trenhotel Alhambra: Barcelona - Granada Trenhotel Antonio Gaudí: Madrid - Barcelona Trenhotel Antonio Machado: Barcelona - Cádiz Trenhotel Gibralfaro: Barcelona - Málaga Trenhotel Asturias / Pío Baroja: Barcelona - Gijón Trenhotel Rías Gallegas: Madrid - A Coruña Trenhotel Rosalía de Castro (Irregular Service): A Coruña - Santiago de Compostela - Barcelona International Routes: Trenhotel Pau Casals: Barcelona - Zurich Trenhotel Salvador Dalí: Barcelona - Milan Trenhotel Joan Miró: Barcelona - Paris Trenhotel Francisco de Goya: Madrid - Paris (In 1992, this Trenhotel service begun in Seville due to the 1992 Universal Exposition) Trenhotel de los Alpes: Madrid - Bourg St. Maurice
@@pedrorubiotejero_aka_prt Permítame responderle en español: muchas gracias por la información. Es verdad que la ruta que yo mencionaba necesitaría pasar por Madrid. Respecto a los Trenhoteles, ¿sabe dónde conseguir más información y poder reservar plazas? La web de Renfe los tiene marginados. ¿Solo se puede comprar billetes de Trenhotel en las estaciones? Un saludo.
Thank you Pedro ☺️
Your videos are like a friend telling us the experience. This one is really cool as they always are.
Ah thanks my friend 😀
As someone who usually travels with a wheelchair I really appreciate that you mention options for step-free access in your trip reports. Keep up the good work and thank you for providing information that most people don’t think about but that is really important to those of us who need it.
Thank you! I will always try to include as much accessibility information as possible ☺️
I am in the same situation I been trying to find out about travelling to Europe as a disabled person and with my carer
Once, many years ago when the City Night Line still existed, I saw one of those in Utrecht, the Netherlands. While the train drove off before I could take it all in, it was a complete riot of different carriages. I managed to get a confirmed spotting of a similar consist, and it had Swiss, Austrian, German, Czech and Hungarian carriages, in all sorts of colours, and both single and double deck. Took me years to collect them as models, and the WRmbz will require some rebuilding of an ARkimbz. It's good to see that ÖBB picked up where the other European operators all but gave up on night trains.
Absolutely, they're the best 👌🏻🙂
And I believe they are making money with it! It's really fascinating how ÖBB took a dying product and made a valuable product out of it!
I went on the city nightline from Basel to Amsterdam and had one of the upstairs rooms, fantastic, great bed a bathroom , table and two chairs, small bottle of wine , breakfast brought to me . great trip, AND what happened to City night line 🥲🥲
I like your new showing of the route. Intermediate cities before were very small and now prominently displayed. Kudos to you
Glad you like it Steve, I'd been wanting to make the maps clearer for a while, thanks 🙏🏻
i did this route many years back in 1990. Not on a double decker TRAIN though! Lovely and best scenic route. I did it from Geneva to Vienna and back!
This trip report is absolutely amazing and I am quite impressed by this Nightjet service and 15:57 😍 that view is mesmerising along with breakfast its undoubtedly cherry on the cake and tbh this private compartment definitely stands out and don’t know why but I always find sleeper train videos fascinating and looking forward to watch more sleeper train videos not only from Europe but from all over the world.
Thank you friend ☺️ Sleepers are my favourite to edit too, and this one was pretty special 🤩
honestly, it is not much difference than the same sleeping cars of the 70s, 80s or 90s. sometimes I wonder if there is any general culture or knowledge more that 5 years ago at the actual people of Terra...
I never travel in these
No esperes los de Argentina 😅
For me, these bring back train travel in the 30s, through the 50s!!
Having grown up in British Columbia I have an affinity for mountains. I really do appreciate the time given to viewing the Alps considering this is an overnight train trip. Also, thank you for the English subtitles and time taken to film, edit, and upload.
Glad you enjoyed the video 😁
Great trip. Unbelievable, from departing 40 minutes late into arriving at final destination 5 minutes late. The window blind is bit annoying, but at least it can be opened. Next I think you should try another Double deck sleeper outside Europe like Superliner or Sunrise Express.
Maybe one day... Asia first 😀
We did have 2+ hours as a planned stop so they should have caught up lol. Ironically last time I was on the Venice portion of the train, we were on time and the Swiss section was late meeting us. Ironic 🤣
Also nice to ride is finnish double deck nighttrains! Smoothest ride I ever had.
Slack time
These double decker are old City Night Line coaches that have been taken over by ÖBB. I traveled in one of the deluxe compartments and I was disappointed. It seems that there was only a paint job on the outside done. Inside the shower could not be used as water was floating in the basin amongst some dust flakes... No power socket in the compartment other than in the bathroom. Apart from that the service was good but they have to step up a notch when it comes to the maintenance of the compartments.
Yeah agree, a refurb is in order!
Thanks for giving this information. I’m thinking of taking sleeper train from Zurich to Vienna. But I’m gonna take another route after reading this.
7:58 Some wrong currency conversion.
NightJet Deluxe are the only one who can be called "deluxe"! With that nice cabin including panoramic windows, ensuite shower and nice sitting area is so good! I traveled already with this double deck cars as they were called CityNightLine. Love it!
Me too! I was sad they were fully booked!
Very nice journey those who traveled
In January I was travelling from Brussels to Vienna by this night sleeper train (deluxe cabin) and I will go again and this time with return to Brussels.
Nice video.Thanks for making it. I'm happy to see that night trains are still scheduled in Europe. Several years ago , I traveled from Lyon ,France overnight to Barcelona ,Spain. I was lucky enough to get Grand Class. The room was a good size, the beds were wider , it had the shower , etc. and included a four star diner . The dining car was wonderful. It had linen table cloths & napkins, real china and the waiter was dressed in a double breasted white jacket. He placed two champagne flutes on the table and filled them with a wonderful Brut champagne before placing the menu on our table. All the wine and other drinks were also included in the five course diner. When we got back to our room, the beds were turned down with chocolates on the pillow. I would love to repeat that experience some day.
Unfortunately that service hasn't ran for years.
Thank you for sharing this video. Comparing the Central Stations between Zurick and Vienna, Vienna´s is outstanding! A very nice experience!
You're welcome 🙂
I did this trip, not just to Zurich but all the way to Basel. But during the day and it was amazing. Not sure why anyone would want to do this durinf the night since the whole trip is beautiful.
I've done it many times in the day and have you see the hotel prices in Zurich 🤣
Thank you for showing the beautiful Vienna Tran station. I love the journey.
You're welcome 😁
Its very great trip and usefull information. As we planning going to Vienna and the other cities plus Hungary this coming Dec . Hope to see your next video :) 👍👌🏻 Its reali help. Thanks so much
Thank you for a great review. It was a shame about the broken blind, and very untypical of OBB ! I’ve not used the NightJet service on the Wien to Zurich route, as I prefer the daytime RailJet trains which are excellent, and you can see all the wonderful scenery !
Yeah absolutely 😊 I agree the day trains are spectacular, but that doesn't help to make a Nightjet review 😂 thank you Anthony 🙏🏻
I love Manner(the wafers) whenever I go to Vienna to see family I will always try to get some as they're so nice!
I know right, they're free in the lounge 🤤 I usually fill my bag and then find some crushed at the bottom of it weeks later 😅
@@NonstopEurotrip What about the 7Days croissants? I've had a few of them on night train journeys too 😄
Nice video. Thanks for Sharing. Amazing Journey.
Beautiful video! In my own travels to Europe many years ago, I loved the train rides, and always the windows at the back as the train pulled away, shedding a tear or two, because I never knew when I would be back, since I live far away from Europe, and trips are expensive, especially now. And the best views were (and I think still are) those of the Austrian Alps, and the beautiful countryside scenery of northern Switzerland and southern Germany... Thank you for your wonderful videos!
Ah hopefully you can come back one day 🙂
In June 1990, I was a backpacker with my camera and "Let's Go Europe" on a night train from Zurich to Vienna. The stations and the train were small but nice.😊
Thank you so much for sharing. I wantedto remined myself how the Viennas trainstation looked like i just needed to visit your page here. Much appreciated..
Glad I could be of assistance 😃
Excellent video and loved the way you left the written notes about the details of the incidentals of prices and information about lifts stairs and escalators long enough to read them 😊😊🎉🎉 Thank you again
Glad you liked it! 😁
Great review of Night Jet. Accommodations looked comfy. Thanks Max😀😀💚💚
Thanks Scott ☺️
Last Thursday I travelled from Innsbruck to Amsterdam in a deluxe sleeper. A superb journey with excellent breakfast and very efficient staff. Unfortunately the train left Innsbruck 10 minutes late due to awaiting a connecting train (there is a lot of infrastructure work currently on the Arlberg route) and, having lost it's paths, it arrived in Amsterdam 135 minutes late (very inconvenient for anyone trying to connect to a Eurostar service) This delay seems not to be a rarity on this route as 2 weeks earlier I observed the same train arriving in Amsterdam 100 minutes late. I do not think the delay was down to OeBB - more likely DB. It's a shame that London is not connected to the Nightjet network but I cannot see that happening at anytime in the future - we have a Government intent on restricting travel for anyone but the elite!
Oh wow what a mess 🤣
What time were you allowed to check in to board the train in Innsbruck?
This room is nicer than expected. I actually like the little staircase, it kinda like a secret room. You can eat and wash up right afterwards. Should you choose to do so. Just awesome!!!
Yeah they're really cosy for one. A bit cramped for two tho!
Thanks for sharing this awesome video of traveling on a train. Such a wonderful sight seeing 🎉journey. 😊 I am so glad you had aa blast. Makes the trip just that much more enjoyable and makes great memories. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it 😀
Lovely stuff! I’ve wanted to try this double decker for ages - your video persuaded me to book it!
Good to hear 😁👍🏻
We took the Nightjet from Venice to Vienna several years ago around Christmas. It was perfect for our schedule. Our couch was much older. We enjoyed. Glad we did it. But honestly we did not sleep great. This new car looks like we would be more comfortable. I am certainly open it doing again despite our first experience.
The Venice Vienna coaches are more comfortable in my opinion...I've done a video of that too ☺️
@@NonstopEurotrip Great to know! I will go find that video. Very much enjoy your videos. Not su
That is very elaborate👍 Plus England rail ticket now has a discount😮
Thanks for the informative video! I was on a German train back in the 1970's but I was in coach. Although much older, I prefer the setup in the cabins on the Canadian sleeper trains.
I am so excited to experiencing this kind of travel:). We are going the same route in March 2024. Thanks for sharing this video. Cheers!
Hope you enjoy it!
The cabins are very similar to the ones that where used by the CNL (City Night Line) earlier. I really loved to travel by CNL before this service was canceled.
Same coaches 😀
Hopefully soon will try nightjet from Vienna as I live in Zürich, or maybe to Hamburg as well , looks so tempting
Definitely worth it 🤠
Love this overnight NightJet video. As always great content.
Thanks Peter 🙏🏻
When I was stationed in Germany, the one thing I loved about the trains is that they would announce in German and English. How very nice and accommodating, In the US we would never think of doing that.
I just love those Viennese bread rolls with ham and cheese. Happy memories with friends in Germany.
😍😍😍
Beautiful journey. Beautiful places.Thanks for all.
Thank you ☺️
Great Video! And thank you so very much for your kind words about Vienna Main Station and the Nightjet Train,really appreciate them!. Kindest Regards from Vienna,Wolfgang -)
You're very welcome! I mean every word 🙏🏻
Ich lebte 6 Monate in Wien mit meiner Freundin, (for one full semester) während ich 1996 ein Semester an der Wirtschaftsuniversität studierte. Sowohl vor als auch nach diesem Semester und während unserer Schulferien reisen wir mit dem Zug durch ganz Mittel- und Osteuropa und fahren mehr als ein paar Mal von diesem Hauptbahnhof ab. (Both before and after that semester and during our school breaks we travel all over central and eastern Europe by train, departing more than a few times from this main train station.) Wien war ein großartiger Knotenpunkt für Reisen in alle Richtungen, nach Osten, Westen, Norden und Süden. (Vienna was a great hub for traveling in all directions, east, west, north, and south). (This West Train station always reminded me of a journey.) Dieser Westbahnhof hat mich immer an eine Reise erinnert. (In fact we went on the exact same journey that you are going on now. It was fantastic). Tatsächlich haben wir genau die gleiche Reise unternommen, die Sie jetzt gehen. Es war fantastisch. Danke, dass Sie meine guten Erinnerungen zurückgebracht haben. Thank you for bringing back my good memories.
Sounds like some lovely trips! 😌
This was an excellent night train trip from Vienna to Zurich. In 2018, I took a train ride round trip between Zurich and Vienna. The first train from Zurich to Kitzbuhel, Austria and the second train from Kitzbuhel to Vienna. The return rail trip was from Vienna and Bludenz, Austria. Due to track construction, I had to ride a bus from Innsbruck to Bludenz. I resumed the rail journey from Bludenz to Sargans, Schweiz to Zurich HB
Ah sounds like a good adventure 😊
@@NonstopEurotrip Yes it was enjoyable . LOL!
Génial vidéo ferroviaire, c'est vraiment agréable à regarder. C'est sûrement un train comme ceci en France pour les trains de nuit qu'il faudrait. Ça donne envie d'y venir prendre le train pour une belle nuit 🌃📽️🤩🇦🇹🇩🇪🇨🇭🚅👍👍👍🙋 Meilleures salutations amicales de Normandie Pascal 👋
Merci beaucoup 🙏🏻
Excellent video review! I do miss that part of the world, being stationed in Friedberg and Heidelberg for the US Army. Would love to get back over there someday and do some traveling with JUST my wife...no kids this time lol
Well make it happen 😂 but seriously, it's very special 🙂
Detailed and clear expression🙏 Thx for ur devotion😘 I tried the app mentioned by comments section, amazingly it is 💥super save🤩
Glad you found emthe video helpful!!!
My cousin regularly uses the Nighjet between Zurich and Vienna Couchette class
Excellent 😊
I travelled on these coaches when they were brand new in 1997. I tried both the Standard room, the Deluxe room and the Familly room (the one with 4 beds). As many others have said, the Standard rooms are way too small. A single suitcase can easily take up most of the floor space in the room. I couldn't see it clearly on the video, but these coaches originally had storage space for luggage underneath the stairs of each compartment, but I think they were dropped later on due to theft. The familly room was slightly better. It is situated right over the bogie, so it's a little bit noisy compared to the other compartments. It's pretty much a couchette room, but with sleeping car service. The deluxe room however is AMAZING. Hands down the best sleeper compartment you can get in the EU. It was a real shame you didn't get to book one.
Yeah I was disappointed too! Next time 🙂
I disagree. I think the deluxe on the other European double-decker sleeper - the VR Finnish Railways is better (that's not saying the NJ isn't very good though). Where the NJ is better is that breakfast is inluded whereas on the VR service it's not (It's my only complaint about the VR service which at least does have a proper restaurant car - and served fantastic Swedish meatballs too!)
I agree about the space situation. I made a few times Zurich-Hamburg and Zurich-Vienna with NJ (former CNL). Travelling alone is OK with the Standard room. But I would never order a Standard room again for a couple. First it is somehow claustrophobic (if you are keen to that) and 2nd, you have no chance to store luggage for a 2-3 week stay for 2 persons into that tiny compartment. It was completely unconfortable for two. Will give a try to the Luxury room for 2 next time, to check the situation regarding the luggage.
Breakfast looked good and fresh
It was!
Great video. I had the oportunity to travel this route. One of my favorite.
Me too 😊
Thank you for the great movie 👍😊 Best regards from Warsaw
Thank you 🙏🏻
Great trip. I think I asked you about the videon with tips how to book trip cheaper. You could say about trains, hotels, other tips. Thanks mate! All the best.
I just check lots of places, there really isn't much of a secret 🙂
Great watch! With those "Kurswagen" from the different European capitals it is very reminiscent of the old express trains from the 1950s, 60s and 70s (but cleaner 😁) .
Haha yes ☺️
Travel is a joyful thing
A great train journey. Train was fully equipped with all the necessities onboard. The train departed 40 minutes late and reached at the destination only 5 minutes late.
Yep 😁
Super Video! Daumen hoch! Liebe Grüsse
Toujours de grande qualité les trains chez les Autrichiens ou les Suisses
Well having gone directly from Thibault's Simply Railways video showing his journey from Edirne to Villach, yours is a pleasant change and one which I would consider taking myself. I also like the idea that you didn't endanger yourself by using Thibault's decapitation video technique. I guess you were prevented from doing so because the windows couldn't open.
Haha yeah I did try and get my camera out my my hands are too big. Although yesterday I was on a Malaysian train where the doors were open the whole way 😂😂😂
Like the Metternich Someone has arrived With red colour being life
Really enjoyed the video . Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks Steve 😄
Doing this trip on Friday night. Really excited about it.😊
Hope you enjoy it!
@@NonstopEurotrip Thank you!
Fun video! My son and his girlfriend took the train from Vienna to Salzburg this past Summer, so it was nice to "travel along" with him!
Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
The SBB panorama coaches where driving on the Amsterdam Basel/Zurich route when I was little. Must have been about 25/30 years ago.
Ah, amazing coaches 😀

Absolutely 🤗
Very nice & informative
When you think about cargo-trains, they have sometimes 40 coaches. a lot of ppl can potentially be transported overnight.
In my oppinion those sleeping coches are very tight. So unless you are travelling in a solo cabin, is not very good. And on the other hand, the prices for solo cabin it is quite expansive in my oppinion. The food and other things are good on Nightjet.
I agree to a certain extent. If travelling alone they are quite cosy ☺️
Super video! Nice train ride! Good work! Thumbs Up All the best from Dublin Andrew
Glad you enjoyed it Andrew ☺️
at 7:07 the beat matches the cities the train travels through. Found that amazing
I'd love to say it was on purpose 😂
I took all types of the NJ, except the deluxe sleeper! It was always super great and mostly loved the night in the standard sleeper. I was worried to see that you’ve got not a nightjet towel.
Me too 🤣
Thank you for the video
You're welcome 😁
Another great video mate. I’ve never been on Nightjet but this certainly makes me want to try it! Thought the bed especially looked pretty comfortable, unlucky with the blind - that’s the sort of thing I’d end up breaking. By the way, I must make a mental note to use the word ‘plethora’ in some of my videos. One of my favourite words 😊👍
You definitely should try a plethora of Nightjet routes mate 😎💙
love train rides❤
The scenery is sooooooo beautiful from Salzburg on to Innsbruck and Zürich that I would NEVER travel on a night train. I want to see the beautiful Alpine scenery during the daytime all the way. :) I have done this trip several times but always daytime.
I've done both, many times.
Amazing.
stunning vieuw those mountains. Loved the trip
Glad you enjoyed it 😁
I have taken this train on the exact same route in the exact same kind of cabin in one of those double decker wagons with a friend back in 2019. It was an overall horrible experience for both of us. That cabin is sooo extremely small and claustrophobic when two persons are occupying it. The top bed, which is retracted in this video but was folded out on our trip since we were two, hangs so low that you can barley sit on the other, lower bed because when you do, the top bed is slamming right into your neck, making it very uncomfortable to sit on the lower bed. You kinda have too sit in a very awkward position. We tried to retract the top bed ourselves so we can at least sit in a human way until it's time for bed but it's literally impossible to retract the top bed without the assistance of the attendant. We asked him if he could retract the bed for the time being so we can normally sit, but he told us that it's a lot of work to do so (and as we learned later on, it is a lot of work) and that he doesn't see the point in doing so because he would've had to fold it back out in a couple of ours anyway when we go to sleep. But he offered us to stay in his cabin (the attendants have their own cabin but with regular seats instead of beds) until we go to sleep and this kinda saved our experience since we were now at least able to sit in a normal position until bed time. There's also zero room for luggage in the cabin. You have some kind of a locker were you have enough space to put handbags into it, but that's it. There wasn't any space underneath the bottom bed because some supporting metal structure is there to hold the bed, that makes it impossible to store anything underneath the bed. So we somehow cramped my suitcase underneath the unnecessary sink and my friends smaller travel-bag at the end of my bed (yes i had to sleep mit less space on my bed because i had to share it with a travel-bag). We could've left my friends travel-bag on the floor but since the cabin was so small there wasn't much floor left. We certainly would've stepped on it every time we enter our cabin or when we get out of our beds. Yes, you read that correctly: Two suitcase are enough to cover most of the floor-area, that isn't occupied by the bottom bed. That's how ridiculously small the cabin is. Now the positives: The beds are pretty comfortable and the attendant was very friendly and truly concerned about our comfort and he did let us use his cabin so we have it comfortable until bed time. In the morning he retracted that top bed so we can normally sit and eat our breakfast and this is where we learned that retracting that top bed really isn't an easy move. It requires many steps and quit a bit of time. So we weren't mad at him for denying our request to retract the bed before. Price: If you're travelling with a friend, it costs 150€/Person. For that super small and claustrophobic cabin, this is definitely overpriced. That tiny breakfast in the morning, that will leave a grown man hungry for sure, doesn't make up for that major inconvenience. I guess it's much nicer if you're occupying a cabin by yourself and the top bed is retracted, however you have to buy two tickets than to make sure you don't end up sharing your tiny cabin with some stranger. So 300€ just to have this tiny cabin on your own. That's too much as well. My advice: Just by a normal Ticket and save your money. It's not worth the price at all.
We had very different experiences 😆
Thanks for sharing. I’d in QBB from city to VIE airport. Train cabins were cool but I wasn’t aware of the change of cabin at central. Good thing I sensed the Austrian announcement & confirmed with a cabin assistant. I still like the QBB cabins!
That's a short trip 😄
@@NonstopEurotrip very indeed
Train will be faster and has more scenery on the way🥹 aned with discount the price will be affordable as well😂
This was amazing and very informative.. thank you i really wanted to know about this as i am planning my next trip ❤
Glad it was helpful!
One thing. As you say usually the double-decker is on the Vienna-Zurich route or Zurich-Hamburg. However when I travelled from South-west Germany on Christmas night 2018 even though I wanted to especially go on the double-decker coach, and my destination was Hamburg, for some reason it was on the Zurich-Berlin NJ consist rather than the NJ to Hamburg! So had to do a "detour" to Berlin instead of going straight to Hamburg! (hey, still cool to take a night train into Berlin Hbf!) So my advice if you especially want to travel on the double-decker NJ into/from Germany - just be careful to check with OBB first to make sure which route it's on, on a particular evening.
Oh dear what a mess 😂
Great video! Obviously has been in your archive since Winter months.
There's still stuff in my archive from 2019... That won't ever see the light of KZhead 😆
ooo
i booked a private compartment in the Salzburg-Paris nightjet in 2 months and i cant wait as its gonna be my first time sleeping in a train !
Excellent ☺️👌🏻
Nice Video LG from Vienna
Soy de Argentina, estos videos de viajes en tren son la envidia para nosotros que no tenemos trenes decentes para viajes largos.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
I wish to travel from Salzburg to Amsterdam via sleeper service so this video was very informative
Glad it was helpful!
Wow! Nice video, Nice trip! Greetings from Hungary.
Thank you my friend 😊
Very nice video thanks. In general I do appreciate when possible some more frame on the Engines. KR
Noted ☺️
Interesting as always.
Thanks 🙏🏻
Eine komfortable nächtliche Verbindung zwischen zwei der schönsten Bahnhöfe in Europa: Wien Hauptbahnhof und Zürich Hauptbahnhof. Auch zwei schöne Städte, wobei Zürich leider etwas teuer ist. Das Schlafwagen-Abteil mit eigenem WC ist echt komfortable. Frage: Wurde die große Verspätung (Wien) aufgeholt ? Kam der NightJet (einigermaßen) pünktlich in der schweizer Finanzmetropole an ? Ja, ich lese gerade: 5 Minuten Verspätung ist okay. Danke für das sehr informative Video. Das Wetter war der Jahreszeit entsprechend. Thank you for sharing this nice video ? Ein Hoch auf die Nachtzüge. Vivent les trains de nuit. I love the night trains.
Bravo aux ÖBB d'avoir restauré les voyages en train et spécialement avec Nightjet.😊
Absolutely 🤗
En fait les Nightjet existent depuis longtemps ici en Autriche. Les plus utilisés sont Zürich vers Vienne, Graz et Villach. Ces 3 trains circulent toutes les nuits et sont toujours quasi pleins ! Et de Feldkirch (frontière avec la Suisse), ils sont couplés à l'Auto-train. Souvent je mettais la moto dessus pour aller jusqu'à la frontière et rentrer par la route pour le weekend. Mais les tarifs ont malheureusement beaucoup grimpé en quelques années, dommage 😬
The major downside to the Vienna train station is that it has zero air circulation and gets incredibly stuffy in summer. It also is overheated in winter.
I never found it that bad tbh
Just fantastic, superb, awesome, overwhelming, mind blowing n refreshing. 🙂😊🥰.
Glad you liked it 😊
Amazing 🤩 ❤
Thanks 🤗
Great video I really want to travel!
I obviously LOVE your videos. They not only teach me a lot about European train travel, but I feel like I can "escape" for just a little bit while I start my Friday. I hope you don't mind if I point out one tiny mistake you made. You posted the same UK Pound and US Dollar conversion twice; once for the cost of the standard sleeper, (solo use I believe), and again for the six bed couchette. I honestly don't think that €69.90 actually converts to £135.97 or $161.19. Like I said; a tiny mistake, and again, I hope you don't mind I pointed it out.
Thanks 🙏🏻 I'd like to say it was a deliberate mistake but I'd be lying 😂 Hopefully some more people will point it out too and I'll get more comments ☺️
@@NonstopEurotrip Oh you are welcome...I am happy to help!! Well if you would like; I do have one more comment to make; this time about the price itself. I've pointed it out on other channels' comments as well. To an American, especially one living in an expensive state like CT. The price for the solo sleeper accommodation you described is actually quite reasonable. To give you an example; Boston, MA. to Washington DC. is a similar distance as your Vienna to Zurich. To purchase a first class day ticket on the Acela Express can cost $350.00, ( €342.13/ £291.94). This does give you free food, but obviously no sleeper to lay your head down and it is about a 6.5 hour ride. There ARE sleeper trains from Boston to Washington, and those cost $555.00, (€542.26/£460.93) just for the roomette, (For some reason the website would not allow me to switch to a bedroom instead of a roomette, but those WOULD be a LOT more expensive. As you may know; the two big differences between the Amtrak roomette and the bedroom are 1)Much more space, and 2) The roomette does not have a private bathroom, but depending on whether it is a Superliner or a Viewliner, then there ARE showers and shared bathrooms either down the stairs, (Superliner), or down the hall, (Viewliner). The bedroom will have one, and again there are free meals in the dining car, but not in the café area which would be down the stairs in the viewing car. (Please note: In the US, with Amtrak travel, tipping is part of the culture, and is appreciated for the Red Cap that may help you get on or off the train, for the room attendant, and for the dining car wait staff even if you are not paying extra otherwise for the meal. I usually give $5 to each redcap that helps me, and $5/night to the room attendant. I do the normal "restaurant percentage" for the wait staff... 10% if only barely ok, 15% if decent but underwhelming, 20% if above average, and 22-25% of the dinner cost if exceptional.)
