Introduction

There is one overnight service per day in either direction between Munich and Venice on the City Night Line service named 'Pictor'. 

City Night Line

City Night Line services operate between a variety of European cities, allowing passengers to make the most of their travels, whilst saving on hotel bills. There are two fare classes; economy and deluxe, and three classes of comfort on-board the City Night Line service:

Sleeper Car
Counchette Car
Seated Car

Sleeper Car

Sleeper cabins are the most comfortable way to travel (although also the most expensive). You can choose to take a bed in a shared cabin (single sex double, triple or quad berths), or pay for a private cabin (for one, two, three or four people). 

Included in the price of your sleeper car ticket is bedding (incl. duvets and pillows), air conditioning, breakfast, washing facilities (shared toilet per carriage), toiletries, towels, and drinking water. Passengers travelling in deluxe class also benefit from a free drink on arrival, as well as a private en-suite shower/toilet.

Each couchette features bunk-bed style beds, a lockable door for the room, luggage storage, pillows, blankets, sheets, shared washing facilities and toilets in each carriage, and temperature controls in each room.
