I have a Eurail Pass and am looking to take a night train from Prague to Vienna. I am trying to book a reservation online, but Rail Eur*pe doesn't sell reservations. This train goes from Berlin to Vienna, but I am getting on at Prague. Can I buy a reservation for the entire journey (Berlin - Vienna) but board the train at Prague?

Hi.
Do you really want to spent the money for the night train? It is a trip of only ~ 6 hours and you the train staff will wake you up one hour before arrival in Vienna. Plus the time you need to check in and get to sleep. So in total it is only 4 hours of sleep: [u]https://rail.cc/en/night-train/berlin-vienna-en-40477/46[/u]
I recommend to stay in Vienna or Prague overnight. There are nice hostels. And to use one of the free day trains:

It is not possible to buy the reservation for Berlin-Vienna and get on to the train in Prague. As you have to take your place 15 minutes after departure, otherwise it is gone. You can try it, but no guarantee to still get you bed then.
You will have to buy this reservation at a station... either in Germany, Czech Republic or wherever you stay before.
Finally, if you want to support railcc and this answer, buy your official Eurail pass here on the recommended website. Thank you for supporting! :)
