Service Review: City Night Line by Deutsche Bahn
This post is also available in: German
There are many great ways how to travel in Germany. One of them is the City Night Line by the Deutsche Bahn. That connects many German cities with each other and also takes you to other European cities.
I tested it between Berlin and Munich in November on my way to the White Start Games in Zell Am See – Kaprun in Austria. The distance between Berlin and Munich is about 600 kms and since I was busy during the day I decided to travel to Munich overnight.
Watch the Video to see what I thought about the City Night Line!

I’ve been travelling a lot by night trains, not only in Germany but all over Europe (plus China and Georgia) and I can only recommend it to everyone. You save time on travelling overnight, you get a fairly decent sleep for a cheap price and well, train travel is always the best to meet local people. Besides, the sound of wheels on the track and the train movement make you fall asleep really easily!
The only problem I found with night trains is that they’re either over heated or extremely cold, it’s hard to find the average temperature…

Took the night train from Paris to Florence.
A little odd to share a couche with 4 strangers overnight and unlike a hostel, I couldn’t leave them, not really, not for long. Don’t think I’ll do it again – feel like I missed seeing a lot of ‘stuff’ (albeit from a speeding train, but still).

Great review man! I’m fairly indifferent to over night trains. I think the comfort and noise is comparable to some hostels, lol.
However, I do really like the facts you’re combining travel & lodging costs. And how many travels say it’s cool to be going to sleep in one place and waking up in another!
