Overnight Eurorail Train

Comments: We had a 4 sleeper that we shared with 2 random guys (compartments that aren't filled by a single group are either men or women only rooms). Basic ticket will get you a bed in a compartment. Trains have toilets and you can buy food and drinks on board. Compartments are comfortable and taking an overnight train saves on a night's accommodation. Just make sure that it is economical compared to flying. There was 1 train change about an hour into the journey.
