It&#8217;s no secret that overnight trains have long been a popular way to travel; there seems nothing better than going to sleep and waking up somewhere new. They also tend to be a little cheaper than flying, not to mention more comfortable. You can simply hop on the train, relax in your own cabin or chair and sleep the night away whilst the train takes you to your destination. And now several subsidised and state-owned European railways have created expanded overnight services that are begging to be enjoyed.&nbsp;<\/p><p>From France\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sncf.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SNCF<\/a> that\u2019s had millions of Euros spent on it to offer new sleeper cabins with routes throughout Paris, Nice and Berlin to Austria\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oebb.at\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OBB<\/a> which now operates over 20 different night routes (and there are 33 new sleeper trains coming in 2023), the options are seemingly endless throughout Europe. Most of these overnight sleeper trains even have en-suites and enough space for families or friends!<\/p><div class=\"inter-content_2\" style=\"margin-top: 20px;margin-bottom: 20px;\" id=\"inter-4246456597\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4633244982126279\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4633244982126279\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7158573474\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div><p>Alongside OBB and SNCF, the recently launched <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nachtexpress.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alpen-Sylt Nachtexpress <\/a>offers routes across Austria and Switzerland, which you can enjoy whilst in eco-friendly and comfortable cabins; something that many eco-conscious people will enjoy.
