Train aficionados, listen up. Austrian rail operator \u00d6BB has launched not one, but two <\/em>brand new sleeper routes to the Italian capital this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new routes, which will shuttle passengers from Vienna<\/a> and Munich<\/a> to Rome<\/a>, kicked off this week to coincide with the launch of \u00d6BB\u2019s brand-new (and very swish) Nightjet trains. These new trains represent a huge upgrade to \u00d6BB\u2019s overnight fleet, with enhanced comfort and privacy for rail travellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what can you expect? The new trains feature seven cars, including two seating cars, three couchette cars and two sleeping cars. Among the upgraded features is free wifi, more space for luggage, more charging sockets and \u2018mobile phone-permeable windows\u2019. Sounds pretty fancy, right? You can read more about the new trains and the other routes they\u2019ll be running on here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the launch of the Vienna-Rome service on September 10, \u00d6BB CEO Andreas Matth\u00e4 called the new-generation trains \u2018a game-changer for night train travel in Europe\u2019, according to Railtech<\/em><\/a>. \u2018It brings a huge leap in comfort and also offers significantly more privacy for our travellers,\u2019 Matth\u00e4 continued. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vienna is fast becoming Europe\u2019s night train capital, with more sleeper train connections than any other EU capital. 

Prices for the Vienna-Rome service on the new-generation Nightjet trains start at \u20ac34.90 for a seated carriage, \u20ac54.90 per person for a bed in a four-person couchette (solo travellers can pay the same price for a mini cabin with the advance Sparschiene ticket<\/a>), and a seat in a private sleeping car can be purchased for as little as \u20ac99.90. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
