Night Trains/Hotel Trains
Although we usually advocate going to Europe to see it, not sleep through it,
today's European overnight trains provide a most comfortable and convenient
means of transport across long distances. And there's an aura of romance on
Europe's luxurious hotel trains.
There is a great variety of accommodations (and prices) on night trains, ranging
from comfortable reclining seats in second class on certain trains, termed “sleeper-
ettes,” to luxurious hotel-style trains complete with a lobby area, concierge, and
restaurant car.
All night trains require reservations, and rail passes do not cover the cost of
sleeping accommodations. You must pay a supplement, which varies according to
the type of accommodations and type of train. For example, the supplemental cost
per person to rail pass holders for a reclining seat with a headrest and reading
lamp on the CityNightLine trains connecting Germany with Switzerland and Austria
is only about $32.
