Enjoy this video on Nightjet's excellent sleeper train from Vienna to Rome. I'm a huge fan of sleeper trains and think they're a fun and exciting way to solve the accommodation and transport conundrum in one. I really hope you'll try one next time you get the opportunity!

I'm taking this train quite often and I also have to say it's a stress free experience if you get an early bird special. Otherwise they get quite pricey.
FYI the leaflet in the goodie bag means that it was packed by an Austrian social enterprise employing people with disabilities
Mario, what's an early bird special and how to do you get that pricing? Thanks.
10:02 Not just a leaflet. It says all items were packed by mentally handicapped people. Nice gesture, unless they are referring to the Viennese people.
Well it’s not much of a challenge to pack a bottle of water and a pair of slippers. Even I could do that and I’m not mentally handicapped.
@@atmakali9599 yikes, might not diagnosed handicapped, but after that ridiculous thought process + comment you should accept yourself beeing decently challenged.

Und es zahlt sich aus!
Being a ÖBB nightjet frequent traveller to all Italian destinations (Venice, Rome, Milan) I enjoyed your excellent video!
However, one correction on the couchette option: The bedding IS provided! Double-linen, a blanket and a small pillow are there. One has to make the bed themselve. Included are also a bottle of still water, and a complimentary small breakfast (2 rolls, butter, jam, and tee or coffee). One recommendation for the couchette is: Pack lightly, since there is not much room for large suitcases!
Thanks!
Europe is so declase, sleeping 6 people to a room, and strangers nonetheless! that's what socialism will get you. a hostel on wheels
Hi, how much would it cost roughly to travel from Vienna to Rome next month? Thanks. Mark
@@amesavis hahaha this is pretty high on the cringe level of comments I've ever read
@@amesavis What are you on...?
Great video. Never travelled on the Nightjet but as a regular tourist to Austria, I can certainly vouch for the Austrian railways as I use them often. The railjet is definitely the jewel in the OEBB crown and it is definitely worth the small supplement to travel first class!
They were all of a kind of a family that had a great relationship between them
Great video
Been on the nightjet at least 30 times from Vienna to Bregenz night train travel is just so efficient, relaxing and cheap! Actually you do get bedding in the couchette and those are not necessarily same-sex cabins, but there’s an option for women’s-only-cabins when you book a ticket.
No option for men-only? How sexist.
Lovely stuff. I think Eurostar (or any other train company when it comes to it) are missing a trick not providing sleepers to some of the major European cities - a far better option than staying in a hotel airport overnight and taking an early morning flight.
Steve Cooksley Indeed, I wish there were more - they suffer a little from an image problem as some sort of hostel on rails - but they are anything but, in many cases!
Yeah definitely. The worst thing is a few years ago the plug was pulled on the CityNightLine service to Copenhagen where I live, right at the moment Sleepers started to become popular (mostly from people trying to avoid polluting by taking Jets on holiday) And so as of now we have no sleeper trains from our city with people demanding them, day in and day out. ÖBB has shown interest in extending their Hamburg services to Copenhagen and we're hoping SJ one day will extend their Stockholm Sleeper trains to Copenhagen, as they right now end in Malmö, just across the water from us. So close yet so far away at the same time.
I actually think the railways are missing a huge segment there, I am taking the family around Europe next year, I would much rather pay for an over night train + meals than flights+ hotels + meals + transfers etc, but, trying to explain to adults (a couple in their 70's) that they have to use bunk beds just isn't going to work. I think it was Paul that did a review on (digging deep from my memory here) the London to ???? Edinburgh ???? Sleeper that from the middle of this year will have double beds, fantastic !, it would save me a small fortune (11 people in 5 hotel rooms, do the math) but nope, I just don't see it happening.
@@lvthud What about dining cars?
I love taking sleeping cars in Europe! It's so much more enjoyable than flying.
Lovely! More Train trips, please!
Especially since the fact that train are very climate-friendly!
Climate-friendly is staying at home.
My dad and I took this train going the opposite way, we were pleasantly surprised by the food and we didn’t know there was a shower until around 6 am, about 4 hrs left to Wien Hauptbanhoff. The heat was still good which was nice. Both cities were beautiful and the tickets were well worth it.
I've taken a nightjet Austrian train from Vienna to Bregnez. Great service and quality product. Brilliant Austrian views as well
Thanks for the memories, I travelled from Dublin via the UK down to Villach by train using the Interrail card in the early 80's.
I don't know why but I enjoy watching Paul Lucas's various reports about his travels. Most or all of the places he travels to I will never ever get to do myself but still, I enjoy watching them. Am I the only one or are there other people like me?
I love sleeper trains so much and I have never used one. The idea of falling asleep one place and waking up somewhere else is just so cool, and it looks so nice.
I've said it before, but I really do appreciate your train videos so much; thanks for this one, Vienna/Rome is definitely in my plans now!
I did the Orient Express in 1977 in a sleeper cabin with the family and am eager to see what it's like today. Going through Iron Curtain countries was a little depressing with people standing along the tracks to receive huge plastic garbage bags full of food, clothing, and other goods not available tossed by either family members or just philanthropists who live in the West. Part of the way we were forced to keep the window shades down and not look through the window, enforced by a Communist guard staring through the window in our cabin door (might have had something to do with the fact that my father was an American military Colonel but I saw other guarded doors).
I enjoyed two times the ÖBB Nightjet to Venice and was happy that i can travel without flying.
Congrats on the 100k Paul, well deserved. You're among my very favorite RUclipsrs. As a former "digital nomad" and world traveler, who's (happily) settled down with a family now, your videos make me nostalgic and incite dreaming about travels with the wife. Enjoy this period of your life, it's a fantastic opportunity that you have.
I have travelled the same route in a 6-berth couchette last summer. You do get bedding and a complimentary breakfast, albeit smaller, is provided. You also get a free bottle of water and although the coffee and tea proved to be undrinkable, I had a wonderful time.
You have to try Budapest Keleti Split. Its Amazing. A Nostalgia Sleeper train 14h. From Budapest to South Croatia Split. The view to the Balaton at 21 22pm is Amazing. Or when you nearly arrive in Split you are in the mountains. Dinardi alps and can see Split, Island Brac and the sea. Wow. But it only starts next. Its a summer train from Mav and it starts on July 1 or Jun 15. And end at Aug. 31. And the best. You can open the window to the half so you can hang out with your head and see everything. Mega
Your train reports are great. Much more appealing than aircraft reports.
Nicely made! :-)
Just a few points:
- You get bedding in couchette cars. It consists of a sleeping-bag-like sheet, a warm blanket and a pillow.
- On ÖBB platforms where express trains depart monitors show the exact locations of carriages so you don't have to look for yours when the train arrives.
Such a great presenter. This is why you and Sam are 2 of my favorites. Well done again, young man...
Yes in Austria they love Apricot jam on Semel brotchen with butter. Delicious.
It's called "Semmel" in Austria and "Brötchen"in Germany.That's the difference.
Enjoyed catching up with this trip. Thanks!
I've used the nightjet from Vienna - Cologne earlier this year in a 6 bed coachette and bedding + breakfast is actually also provided there. :)
Railjets are really nice and the fares are quite reasonable. Vienna-Graz includes the Semmeringbahn, which is beautiful and a UNESCO world heritage site.
A big fan of the train reports - Congrats on 100,000!!!!
i am soon taking this route in may and cant wait for this trip :-)
I use to travel on the Oostende to Vienna night train which was fantastic , you had the choice of first class sleeper or 6 and 4 berth couchetes ( Liege Wagon) done this journey throughout the 70's 80s and 90's ....it came to an end in the 2000s where I done the last Brussels to Vienna as it had been cut back due to the Ferries no longer running to Oostende ......how I wish I could stil do the journey from Vienna where I now live back to London as I use to with the night train to Oostende the ferry to Dover and train to Victoia Station .....happy days and great video :-)
Excellent presentation and beautiful panorama . thanks to you all. A friend from beautiful amazing Bangladesh with lots of and best wishes.
Ahhhhh that's a far cry from the Calis to Innsbruck sleeper we used to do with SNCF still brings back some fun times
Thank you for making this video - I'm going to have to do some trips like these myself when life becomes more normal again. I enjoy flying, but you see so much more by train.
I can't wait for my journey in march from Munich to Rome - super excited for that journey :)
Wonderful, beautiful train journey/report from the rails whatever. I love the idea of taking a sleeper care when you can to avoid the hassles of a hotel, transportation to the airport etc.
I used to be a train manager for those night trains ;)
I could write a book with all the stuff that happens on board. :D
Could you write one then... :)
The small space looks fine .I do like the private rooms or sleeper cabins...My mother use to always take a sleeper here from Chicago to Los Angeles to see her older sister...My mother always liked dong that. Thank you for showing me your video. The bed when your cabin steward came in looks nice and warm...Breakfast looks cool as well....Thank you again for your video...
Congratulations Paul. Nobody does this better than you.
I went on a overnight sleeper train in late 60s. From Calais to Milan. Fantastic journey.
_I guess you could say in train reviews you are....*Trainin' It! Paul Lucas* x)_
Super congrats on 100k subs! All very well deserved
Would "railin' it" be too suggestive?!?
Thank you!
Very sleek contemporary looking train.
I love watching these videos. It is truly a shame that more people do not share the same thought. I guess channels like these are more niche, consequently attracting only a certain type of people. I am happy to be in that group though!
Great report Paul! A couple of weeks ago I was on the Polish PKP EIP train from krakow to warsaw (somewhat inspired from your report!) and it was fantastic. Free tea, good scrambled eggs! Cheers
Blimey, that’s an old video! I keep meaning to go back and try the Pendolino some time!
This guy is bloody brilliant on these reviews, should be on the telly
I have travelled on the Munich to Vienna route a couple of times with ÖBB Railjet. Very organised, arrive at Vienna HBF, find your train on the departure boards and there is a plan of the train with carriage numbers so you know where abouts to stand when the train comes in. First class is very roomy and not a lot more expensive than standard. The buffet service is good and the coffee is superb!!
Book a seat though. Keep up the great videos, thanks.
Very informative, made me know what to do when I got to Vienna. Then take the train to Rome. Because I plan to travel to Austria and Italy when the situation of COVID-19 improves by traveling from Thailand.
Absolutely love it when you report about sleeper trains. It affords your viewers with lovely European scenery. Have you considered filming your travels on the ground, I know I'd love it. So here's hello from Tucson, Arizona U.S..Safe travels.:-)
Seat61 is also a really, really great place to see information about trains all around the world.
Isn't it just - and he's had a few videos out this week too!
I agree with this endorsement. 👍🏻 I love Seat61.
I'm subscribed to Seat61 and now am about to subscribe to this channel as well. 😃
I absolutely love this service! I took the NightJet with another person in the same configuration to Hamburg, and besides the rather B.O-ridden attendant the experience was great. I love the OBB and recommend their rail services highly.
How I wish Amtrak would take some lessons from some of the European rail lines.
I agree
Public transport in the US is basically non-existent outside of major cities... No one talks about travel via trains sadly!
Ghani Abdul it is sad. I love traveling by train. The problem here, in the US, is most, if not all, rail lines are used for freight, etc., so it makes train travel a bit difficult to do in a timely manner.
@@dannysgirl1549 I think if they can create better services things may be different. If the pricing is a bit more affordable compared to air-travel, certainly people will show more interest in traveling via trains!
If only
A good video. Traveling by train and bus is a great way to see a country plus it is more environmentally friendly than flying.
Ted Kennedy was the only Republican nominee for president Obama
If you ordinarily would fly and then stay at a hotel overnight, a deluxe sleeper cabin is a possible alternative. Not as posh or roomy as hotel accommodations, but possibly close in price to the plane fare/hotel combination. And you get to see a lot more! Sadly, we don't have such nice sleepers here in the US.
Ill pass through Vienna mainstation every day and i have to say its by far one of the best train stations i have ever seen.
Of course mostly because its fairly new. Other than that it has a good and logic layout. There is basically a decent mall with various shops inside it and the foodcourt really is amazing. There are over 10 different places where you can get food. From pizza, over Mc Donalds, Burger King, asian cuisine, seafood, austrian cuisine. I know people that dont have to take the train yet they still go there to meet with other people and go for lunch.
Paul, go next time you see the RailJet please go next to the engine and wait there until the train starts to run - Why? Because the engine "sings" Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do! Really - it is no joke.
Thank you for sharing your awesome video with us.
All the Siemens Taurus engines do that. It's quite funny.
@@drdewott9154 - I only know that from the RJ which stops in Zurich. It is really funny - never heard it before.
It's crazy how you put these videos together! Sterling work as always! Rob.
Vortex Aviation Thank you Rob! Appreciate it 👍🏻
Thanks Paul for delivering such a sweet trip report! Really liked it!
Very thankful ❤️ to you
Great video! One thing I really miss on the Nightjet is a proper dining car. I remember using the "Corona" sleeper train from Budapest to Brasov back in 2017 and getting a freshly cooked dinner and breakfast in the dining car...
You can still order some warm dishes in Nightjet, the only difference is that they bring them to your compartment instead of having them in the restaurant car.
A dining car would drive up the cost, which was the reason why so many railroads stopped running night trains. ÖBB manages to make a small profit, but that only works if they tightly control the cost. An extra car (+staff) that is only really used for maybe 2 hours of the journey sadly just doesn't work in today's economic environment.
Love the gift bag. Very nice
2 of my favorite cities in Europe ^^
Fantastic video, we all need to push this railway thing. We don't need airplanes to get from the UK to anywhere in Eurasia. I am passionate about rail travel and we all need to do our bit for the environment. You get to see some great scenery along the way and pass through some great stations for the privilege. Got several internationals booked up for this year. Belarus, Latvia, Ukraine and Portugal, all from my local station right here in the midlands.
The seated option can actually transformed into a bed. And they are awesome! Absolutely recommend them, they are cheap, you have plenty of space and if other people see you are sleeping inside they usually don't disturb you.
I’m glad to hear that. Talking this exact train to Rome this with in the cheapest option (dear compartment). So hopefully the train is not going to be very full.
Well, that's is a real step-up from Amtrak! Just love Vienna! Another great video Paul.
Really interesting report. What I like is it gets away and is a nice change from the simple A to B flights. Thanks and congrats on the big number!!! Keith
I loved this trip report because I have just bought a double deluxe sleeper ticket for this nightjet service :D. We will travel to Sicily from Budapest through Rome this summer. I think that will be a huge adventure. :)
I've taken this exact same train before in 2016 with my girlfriend, we got off at Florence though. Was a great experience.
I live in Hull uk and we have, at least in my knowledge, one of the most unique train journeys out there, the LNER hull executive service only runs once a day in each direction and I believe that it is one of the only routes that the Azuma runs on at the time of writing, I have done it once and would completely recommend it to anyone, the timings aren’t the best but it’s worth it, I would also encourage you spend some time in the city as there is plenty to see and do. We also have Hull trains and I haven’t seen any trip reports on them either so I feel one of those might be worth a go, definitely a unique journey out here. Sorry for rambling but keep up the good work Paul, definitely one of the best trip report channels out there.
Thank you for reading
Minifridge
The Azuma isn’t in service yet - it’s starting on 15 May 👍🏻
We travelled by RailJet from Vienna to Budapest last November. As you mentioned in this report the lounge is very good at Vienna Hbf and was thankfully quiet at the time.
We travelled first class (very cheap with a staff FIP card)and the accommodation is spacious and comfortable. Sadly there was no at seat food or drink service on this train (1842 from Vienna) but not a problem as we’d eaten already. WiFi was good. I thoroughly recommend it but maybe at an earlier time if you want to check out the food offering.
Congrats on 100k subscribers.
You have the most wholesome videos. You must really like riding trains. :D
Damn Paul. Can't tell you how impressed I am with these videos. Great quality. Keep up the good work.

Yes but not the best way for 666inches and a million dollars
Great video Paul, cheers.
I wish we had taken a train/flight when we travelled from London, england to mayahoffenp, Austria.. we had a 24 hour coach trip.... at least we came back on all forms of transport because they had forgotten to pick us up at the end of our 2 week skiing holiday!! Train from home to London then to Dover via coach, ferry to Belgium, coach through Germany to Austria....coming back was coach to Munich, Germany, flight to Heathrow, London and train back home...13 hours....it was our first trip abroad and 35 years ago....times have changed...
Thank you Paul for this great video and even for the link to this quiet info and funny Blogpost of Edward. Very helpful and I will try Nightjet myself in two weeks. Thank you!
A good reference for anyone planning for Euro trip
Great video, thanks. Looks like a fabulous journey. Would love to do it some day.
Arround 2022, the new Nightjet Sleepercars will be actively on the rails. Just look at the Homepage. The pictures just look fantastic!!
love the sleeper / luxury train videos. you are a great narrator!
Definitely take the Railjet. Have taken it a view times. Most memorable after taking the old trains in Croatia to get on a new railjet in Budapest.
Congrats Paul! Given the always consistent quality of your videos, it's well deserved!

Great editing as always. Keep up the good work! Also congrats on reaching 100K!
That sleeper train looks nice and it's an international one too from austria to italy the room looks a decent size and the breakfast looks good too overnight sleepers are good for business but also for leisure travels to go from one city to another city the next day
Thanks Paul. That was very informative.
I love train travel. First Class on trains is so much more manageable than on aeroplanes!

*renames the channel "Wingin' It! Paul Lucas
*proceeds to do a bunch of reviews on Trains.
Excellent review as always. Keep with the trains.
My mother left this station in October 1938 to Lausanne, Switzerland. My other relatives to Bucharest, Romania in March, 1939.
Great videos mate Really informative and enjoyable to watch Keep up the great work!
I sure hope that Vienna's new central station is used by more than 5.5m people. That would be a mere 15,000 per day.
Yes, the figures are 148,000 per day / about 55 million a year.
The earlier posters are correct. I wrote the figures down wrong!
Thanks for the good video! I am unimpressed by the service. I am a little surprised it is such a long journey between those cities.
Paul you should do the Australian "The Ghan" and "Indian Pacific" sleeper train in the future!
yea travel to australia just to make a video about sleeper train
The preserved railcar at Semmering (8:56 in the video) is an OBB 5144, 5144.01 specifically, which was a diesel railcar (self-propelled train car). An interesting history of them is on Wikipedia (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%96BB_5144), albeit in German.
