4. Tips

Book a bed on the couchette coach (Liegewagen)
You have 3 options for your ticket:
1) Sleeper coach: Choose between compartments with 2 – 4 beds
2) Couchette coach: Compartments with 6 beds

 

3) Regular coach: Compartments of 6 seats.

 

The regular coaches consist of compartments of 6 seats which you can turn into one surface to rest on. I recommend to take the couchette for a good night sleep. A pillow, bed sheet and a blanket are provided.

Breakfast is included
Booking a bed on the couchette or sleeper coach includes a breakfast. The breakfast on the couchette coach is very simple though:

Stay overnight in Innsbruck
Your best option is probably to take the Nightjet at 00:08 am on a Friday, arriving Friday morning in Innsbruck. Stay overnight from Friday to Sunday. Then take the Nightjet back on Sunday night, arriving in Frankfurt early on Monday morning.
