Unlike EuroCity and InterCity trains that operate during the same day, EuroNight trains tend to run at night and are equipped with a variety of vehicles to meet sleep services. In addition to the basic cost of tickets from the destination to the arrival point, almost all EuroNight trains require reservations and additional fare fares. These fare increases vary depending on whether the traveler wants to sit in a regular seat, the sleeper with a recliner "couchette", a padded felt bed with a blanket and a small pillow, or a soft sleeper (sleeper) ), the mattress can provide a full set of bed linen (sheets, quilts, pillows).
Almost all EuroNight routes are international (although a few major countries, including France and Germany, operate EN services nationwide) and are operated jointly by national railway companies, many of which share trains on the route. EN trains develop and become the standard night train service for all Western and most Central European countries.
After the termination of the CityNightLine service by the German Federal Railways in 2016, the Austrian Federal Railways launched the new night car brand Nightjet as an alternative. Nightjet operates in Austria, Germany, Italy and Switzerland. Other train companies provide services to Croatia, Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Slovenia, which are operated in partnership with Nightjet partners.
The Nightjet train offers a soft sleeper (Sleeper, Nightjet's most comfortable service category), a sleeper compartment (couchette hard sleeper) and a regular compartment (seat).
