A comprehensive examination by the ADAC, which took a close look at 21 night train connections in Europe, is evidenced by the increasing encouragement to these types of travel. According to the results, 42% of Germans can imagine traveling with a night train. Especially among the younger travelers, between the ages of 18 and 39, approval is even significantly higher at 52%. The advantages are clear: relaxed trips and slept well at the destination.
The compounds examined led from seven German cities such as Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and Cologne to various European metropolises. The analysis has shown that seven connections could be classified as good direct connections that required a maximum of 15 hours of travel time and no change. An example of this is the connection from Berlin to Stockholm, which can come up with a travel time of 15:20 hours and a price of 96.90 euros.
