I may take the night train from Vienna to Paris..i've never taken a night train, it's a long trip, but I'd like to try. I will likely reserve a couchette to save money.
Because I have a bit of train travel on this trip, I will probably get a Eurail youth pass. Now, my question is--will I be able to use this on the night train since Austria and France are not bordering countries? I'm confused.
Also, big question--you can smoke on this train right? If not, I'm changing my plans..
thanks

Hi MZ,

Couchettes are neither comfortable nor romantic.
Smoking has been forbidden on most European trains for at least a year.
Before you buy any railpasses, enter your itinerary at www.railsaver.com and click "only if it saves money".
already did that, it will save me money.

smoking is forbidden on the whole train??? THAT is terrible. No smoking car at all?
Oh, and I don't need comfortable or romantic.
Smoking is banned in all types of public transports (trains, busses, planes) in most of western Europe
