Daytime takes most of the day
NS International describes journeys of about 11 hours with a change. Read the exact connection, seat arrangements and restrictions for your date. Carry lunch and leave time to transfer with luggage.
A seat is not a bed
NS publishes Nightjet starting prices of €35 for a seat, €55 for a bunk and €100 for a bed, with availability and higher fares varying. Choose the category you would actually sleep in before comparing it with daytime rail plus a hotel.
Plan the first Vienna morning
Ask whether your room allows early bag drop after overnight arrival. Keep breakfast and a gentle walk as the first plan. A timed palace tour is easier after you know how well you have slept and when you can check in.
