-I was completely delighted with my journey on the ÖBB EuroNight EN 50237 from Stuttgart to Vienna! The overnight train offers everything you could wish for on a relaxed and comfortable journey: modern sleeping and couchette carriages, friendly staff and a pleasant atmosphere. I particularly liked the cleanliness of the entire train and the generous breakfast served directly in the compartment. The journey was quiet, so I arrived in Vienna well-rested and relaxed. I also loved the option of travelling in a private compartment - perfect for families or solo travellers who value privacy. I can absolutely recommend the ÖBB EuroNight EN 50237 (train type: night train/EuroNight, provider: ÖBB)

Duration of the journeyAs friends of ours were getting married in Vienna and my wife suffers from a bit of a fear of flying, we decided to take the train and booked the ÖBB Railjet via Deutsche Bahn. The train was very punctual and also very new. The boat restaurant was first class and the staff were very friendly and courteous and, compared to Deutsche Bahn, every meal on offer was available. The comfort was very good despite being second class. Next time, however, we would prefer the plane due to the duration of the journey.

FunctionalityDeutsche Bahn makes it possible to travel from the state capital Stuttgart directly into the heart of Austria. The Intercity was not delayed and arrived in Vienna exactly on time. As this was a direct connection, no change was necessary. The train had a wifi connection that the passenger could use. However, there was no indication, such as a poster, pointing out the free use. The "comfort check-in", which is supposed to make it possible to travel without checking the ticket, unfortunately did not work on this trip. The seats were very comfortable and perfectly adequate for longer journeys. The cleanliness was also okay. For a climate-friendly journey, the price is completely in order.

Nothing to criticiseI left from Stuttgart main station for Vienna, as I had always wanted to go there.
I took the ICE, it took 6-7 hours, it was very comfortable on the train and had a relaxed atmosphere.
There was also a power socket, the service was also very friendly, the train was very clean.
The train was on time and the ticket cost around 200 €, I bought it online.
