The Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) operate the Nightjet and Euronight trains (the latter together with other national railway agencies). ÖBB night trains typically feature three types of carriages: seats, couchettes, and sleepers. Seats are for the bravest, while couchettes and sleepers provide a more comfortable journey. Couchettes accommodate up to six people, while sleepers are private compartments for one to three people. They sometimes include a private bathroom or even a shower, sometimes only a sink.

Deutsche Bahn (DB) exited the actual night train business in 2016. However, it operates around a dozen Intercity and Eurocity trains that run exclusively at night. In these night trains, there are only first and second class seats. The lights stay on all the time and there is no way to recline the seats.
