If you visit Bologna check out the Mercedes B&B, small clean and 5 minutes walk from the station. Very popular but as good as any - basically a small apartment in a block of modern shops and offices. If you stop in Venice then look at hotels in Venice Mestre - cheaper and better than Venice centre, Thanks, I am going to check it out. Especially Venice is really expensive indeed, so I will look at Mestre.
340€ for a private couchette carriage though… It's cheaper for other dates so please have a look. There are no pass holder prices for a private couchette, only normal fares. If you're with 4 people, just book a 4-person couchette via tickets.oebb.at and it will be €172. You'll be placed in the same compartment if possible and if it's not possible you’ll see a warning before you pay. Note that if children are under 6 years but you want them to have their own berth, then make them 6 years old. If you book couchettes (or a sleeper) via ÖBB for children under 6, then they won't have their own berth. Thanks so much, very valuable. I think we’re in the same couchette, because I did not see a warning ;)
Thanks so much! I managed to book it via the OBB website. It feels sort of strange that the Interrail app is not up to date… One more question, if you want to book trains from Vienna to for instance Ancona you have to book it also via the Italian railway? Thanks!
Thanks so much! Very valuable advice and links. Of course we did some googling but we wondering if anyone had some nice tips on the route to take. We are now considering:Utrecht - Vienna - Bologna - Ancona - Greece orUtrecht - Vienna - Venice - Greeece. We are using the interrail app for scheduling and booking night trains, but this does not seem to work yet (see the image attached)
