Hi everyone
I plan to travel;
Prague to Budapest with Euronight(EN477)
Budapest to Wien with EuroNight(EN460)
Wien to Munchen with EN 462
i didn't find ant information about these trains' supplements. Must i pay ?
Furthermore
Leipzig to Hamburg with ICE according to this website i won't pay for this train.
But there are another information on an other website and it stated its cost 4 euro.
please help me i am really confused.

Hi Ilkeee.
1) [b]Praha to Budapest[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/prague-to-budapest[/u]
2) [b]Budapest to Vienna[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/budapest-to-vienna[/u] - but it is NOT worth as it is a travel of 2-3 hours. use a direct train (Railjet or EC - free of supplements) and avoid the Hungarian ICs ( [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation/hungary/hu[/u] )
3) [b]Vienna to Munich[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/vienna-to-munich[/u] - also do this by direct day train (4 hours of travel). not worth the money to spent for a night train - better to use it on a hostel !!
4) [b]ICE in Germany[/b]: as long as it is a normal national ICE ( [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation/ice-deutsche-bahn/11[/u] )in Germany, a reservation is NOT required !! only on the ICE Sprinter (only some in the morning and evening on business routes like Berlin-Frankfurt, but you won't normally find a lot of them!) you have to pay a supplement: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation/germany/de[/u]

I dont know if it will help, but just so you can have an idea on price/distance, I payed 25€ to go from Franfurt to Vienna (Wien) on EN, in a seat... yes seat (8 hour journey during the night sitting down)

Hi.
You are talking about this connection:
[u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-night-train/duesseldorf-vienna-en-421/43[/u]
This train is from ÖBB the Austrian national railway company - and they are very expensive concerning the night train supplements.
I do NOT recommend to use a night train on this connection.
Better option is:
- either by free and direct day train ICE.
- night train like this (it is not a real long night, but better than nothing - and cheaper than a hostel):
Frankfurt(Main)Hbf Dep: 1954 | ICE train - free of supplements
München Hbf Arr: 2308
München Hbf Dep: 2340 | night train (seat with a max of EUR 5): [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-night-train/munich-budapest-en-463/55[/u]
Wien Meidling Arr: 0558
(destination is Budapest Arr: 0849)
