Often on these trains, people will elect to share the room with other people riding the train. The lower button (on the right marked with a half-moon) disables the room lights - if someone were arriving mid-journey, they won't accidentally turn on all the lights and wake the others. When in that mode, there are usually small reading lights at each bed. Once you disabled "night mode" your large lights worked again. I'm glad you enjoyed the trip.

@thomaskloecker1572 3 ай бұрын

Trying to think why I enjoyed this video so much. I think not having the room light, and then being able to use it was one reason. The second reason is a bed one can sit up in on a train when most cabin beds seem to have a cramped sit-up height. Third, I liked that you were able to check off what you wanted in the morning.

I didn't have a sleeping compartment, In France and Austria there were compartments with seats facing each other which you could pull out to make one large sleeping area, which you must share with whoever was also in the carriage, crazy. It took me from 7 in the evening until midnight the following day.

When I traveled around Europe in my early- and mid-twenties and then again in my mid-thirties, there were loads of sleeper trains-I understand then they disappeared for a while, as people opted to fly instead, but now they’re seeing a resurgence in popularity-and I envy you your private compartment; to save money I usually bought one berth, typically in a shared room of six or even eight berths, and boy, do I have unpleasant memories of multiple people snoring, drunk people climbing down and nearly stepping on my face on their way to the toilet, noisy people boarding at 3 a.m. and, again, climbing up into their berth over my face… On the one hand, I’d never want to do anything like that ever again, and then on the other hand, I’d give ANYTHING to be in my twenties and thirties and a relatively carefree single student and do it ALL again!!!

It depends on what comfort class you choose, and how long in advance you buy the tickets. Seating car starts at 29€, a couchette bed in a shared compartment starts at 49€, and a single-occupancy sleeper cabin will start at 149€. Prices will go up with time, as the train fills up. Pro tip: When booking on this specific route compare prices for the 2 parts of the train that go to Vienna. NJ467 (to Vienna) and NJ40467 (to Budapest) are separated in Salzburg, but the part to Budapest also passes through Vienna. It even arrives there earlier (less stops in Austria, so that it has more time for the rest of the way to Budapest). Depending on the occupancy of the separate parts prices can be very different. And if you need to arrive in Vienna very early then chose a _seating_ car, as those will form the first day train (EC463) from Salzburg and arrive in Vienna over an hour earlier than the rest of the cars!
