- We rode the Nightjet sleeper train Zurich to Vienna in a Double Room with OBB and loved it! Our journey started in Zurich and ended after we had reached Vienna, Austria, Italy the next morning. We were served our choice of breakfast and had great views coming into Vienna. We booked a double room. OBB Nightjet is a great way to travel!

"Two for me." You guys are in a giddy, fun mood on this trip, making jokes.
I loved watching you guys have normal couple’s banter. 😊
I enjoyed this video because you laughed so.......I especially liked Rob's "she does this at home too!"
The suitcase's little wheels sticking up in the air absolutely killed me. I had to pause the video to laugh
Add the suggestion to put it on the end of the bed! 😂
Another great video! Thanks much!
Enjoy your train videos.
WoW, Adopt me, take me with U!! Small room but great travel experience and information 😊
I felt claustophobic just watching! But you guys had such fun, I was laughing along! I'm with you, Allie, coffee and OJ (& Nuttella!). OJ with the champagne might have made a mimosa!
What in the world! They call that a room. So tiny. Glad you could still laugh about it and enjoy
Superman had more room in the phone booth
I love looking out the window throughout the night.
Good news and bad news. You were excited about crossing your first international border by sleeper train. The good news is that you did it twice. Without you knowing, the train crossed from Switzerland, crossed Liechtenstein, and entered Austria. The bad news is that there's no such thing as Champagne from Italy. Champagne can only come from the Champagne region of northeast France. What you had was a sparkling wine, but I'm sure it wasn't wasted. A great video guys.
I love your video's. It is nice to see your video coming from overseas. You are great for showing the "good, bad, and the ugly" of your train travels. It has helped in my travels. Please keep them coming!
Ahhhh❣️ I look forward to your weekly travel vlogs like a favorite TV series.😁 So delightful and engaging, through and through! 😎💯💫🤸🏽♀️ You guys are wonderfully hilarious and fun, like happy couples should always be! 👩🏽❤️👨🏼💕💟
LOL you guys looked exhusted in the beginning of the video. The space looked tight but I think the sink is a very interesting design and use of the space. Choosing the breakfast was so funny but also a tad bit ridiculous how they make you choose. Another great video!
Well if I wanted a extra butter, another Nutella, I guess they'll leave that for me to decide and not assume I want something I'll likely toss in the bin.
That’s a cool sink design!
This one gives me claustrophobia ..there is no way I could sleep in that bottom bunk especially with my head in that hole. On both I would have to have my head at the other end. I love your positive attitude and sense of humor 😊
Great video thanks for sharing
I traveled on a 3 month Eurorail pass in 1969. It was common to cross borders at night or evening, it was a rolling customs and immigration clearances in Western Europe. The intercity trains often had cars which went to different destinations. When the train wasn’t crowded the seats could be put together and you could sleep 3 people across in a compartment . I never took the Wagon-lit expensive sleeper. But traveled the Orient express many times.
Cozy room. Very cozy for two. Very. But it's better than trying to sleep sitting in a coach seat. They should have a place elsewhere in the car for larger suitcases.
you made the best out of a TINY space. Even the seat was tiny!!! KUDOS
The number of passengers has decreased and there are very few night trains in Japan.😢
Please take a night train "Sunrise Izumo" or "Sunrise Seto" in Japan someday. 🙏
You two I’m so jealous of your travels😊👍🏽have a wonderful trip and I will be watching.😊😊
Fun video! What a tiny cabin but it sounds like it worked well - except for the suitcase.
Great (& funny) video as always! Definitely a train I want to take someday!
Another interesting and entertaining video! Wow, that cabin was claustrophobic! I don’t think I would be comfortable in that lower bunk with so little headroom.
I still think the downside of a sleeper train is that you miss seeing the countries you are travelling through.
This is totally cool, I’d love to do this but my husband not so much.
I love when the wire does the room reviews lol
Gee, that room looks so small. Another great video
Always great videos . I hope you enjoyed Wien. Oh btw, We amtracked from miami to Savannah, because son studies at SCAD. Very nice people, great staff, pretty ok food, we arrived in Savannah at 2.00 AM and no issue to find a uber. Station was super super clean
These double-deck cars were built in the 1990s for CityNightLine which was at the time a cooperation between the railways of Austria, Switzerland and Germany. Some cars ended up with ÖBB and were modernized some, they are still used on railjet. Economy single compartments are exactly the same as economy double, just with one bed only. Deluxe double, on these cars only used between Hamburg, Zürich and Wien, gives you a compartment twice the size with a table with two seats and private bathroom with shower. Unlike the single deck sleeping-cars these don't offer public showers. The shape of the roof follows the loading gauge so it is highest in the middle.
great train vlog
For anyone traveling, door peepholes can be tampered with, installed backwards it will allow the curious public side of the room to catch a eyeful, save letting them getting a jolly good time, put a small piece of paper over the lens, and a strip of electrical tape (the black stuff) above it to hold it, you can still flip it up to see out when necessary, I learned of this practice after a person was caught peeping in, it also works adopting this habit over your computers Webcam, you never know if someone found a way to watch it.
if it doesn't come from champagne it's a sparkling wine
I can't say that seeing this train has made me want to take it -- it looks as though they'd tried to put beds in the space of an airplane restroom. Good for you, enjoying what you can and not letting the disadvantages get you down. You're great travelers.
P
they could book a bigger room
The twice as big deluxe sleeper cabin upstairs with seating corner, bathroom with shower would be your option then. I would claim this night train type is quite unique in Europe, though the WLabmee sleeping cars with the 2 or 3 bunks and sink in the corner are nice as well, and the deluxe sleeper cars that are used by ÖBB for Italy before they will be exchanged beginning next year.
In the same Train there is another Wagon where you can book a bigger room with ensuite Shower and Toilet (Wagon Nr. 302, 4 Rooms on the upper Deck) but they are typically sold out fast.. I use this type of compartment earlier and i really enjoy it :-)
Whoa! I don’t think I could fit through the door. 😂😂😂! Wow!!!
I kept thinking, Where’s the rest of the room?
Try riding a Greyhound bus and weighing 250# it's a struggle getting into their restroom 🚻
Admitted it's the Italian equivalent of Champagne but it's actually Prosecco
Wow---this has got to be the smallest train cabin I have ever seen you guys in!
Ummmmm I think Amtrak roomets are just as small if not smaller
You guys are still in Europe? Thats so awesome. You guys make me want to pack a bag and just go! An amazing lifestyle!
Hello America's favorite railriding couple: Love ALL of your videos since the beginning. Since you are out of Atlanta (also Kissimmee) one question please: Do you ever dial in James Brown and listen to Night Train?
😁😁😁😁
I think for the price it is a great value because if you had to pay for 2 train tickets, a hotel room and breakfast it could cost much more!
🎈🇺🇸🎈
This one made me laugh. You two are good sports given how cramped that room was. It looked like Allie stood the whole time until bed time! She even took off her glasses because there was no room even for her glasses!
Did that train have a lounge or dining car?
Years ago we took a day train from Switzerland to Vienna. We had one of those old time compartments with two long bench seats facing each other. If we had taken it at night, the two benches could be pulled out to make one big bed. Not sure what one would do if there were strangers in the same compartment, though!
Amtrak it ain't! But at least you get the piccolo Sekt!
Have you tried the Japanese sleepers yet?
You think this is small?😀
If it was still within 15-20 minutes of leaving Zurich, the reason you couldn't see anything out the window may have been because you were in a tunnel.
It's European, so think more like a Motel 6 room. No frills, but clean, comforable, and efficient...
I didn't see the accommodations name plastered all over the curtains or the bedspread, so it definitely wasn't a Motel 6, which I think they do that to distract from people taking them home.. I used to have a link where a certain culture in America wore hideous fabric for church on Sunday and family gatherings, Motel 6 reminds me of them.
Do the train tickets need to be acquired way in advance or can they also be purchased the day of?
How is it compared to Amtrak? The price is unbeatable
This one felt smaller than Amtrak, even though it was probably bigger. I think due to our bags. Great price, but you only are on for about 10 hours. We did another video with a double deluxe room on Nightjet and it was one of our favorites ever. Much bigger room for only about $70 more. It was Vienna to Venice.
Looks almost like a roomette a bit other than the fact you get a sink.
Ugh, I think that I blew the 10 rides for $500.00 sale. I was worried about trying to map out routes instead of purchasing the pass, and taking advantage of the 120 days to figure things out. Next time for sure
A little crowded for a big man. I’m 6’3” 245
What is a sleeping car on a train
A car full of private rooms designed where you can sleep, most have a lock on the door as well
So did each of you pay the 200 euros?
Just one
You guys got stuck and 6’ft .sometimes you can’t get what you want.
Geez that was a really small room, but not very exspensive.
*Just a side comment here as a French person: Champagne is a labelled territory in France, and no one can use this appellation. What you got is prosecco, or italian sparkling wine. It does taste great, but please do not use the word Champagne
Less of you guys. People want to see the train
Enjoy your train videos.
