You can also do this journey by Nightjet now, takes a bit longer (14 hours) but you can sleep through most of the time. There are also a few options for single change journeys (eg via Zürich) but they might not be the fastest.

- hilbert42 5y agoThanks for that info, I've already looked up the timetable and current fares and the prices are more reasonable than I thought they'd be. From a somewhat vague memory of Mozart's fares, I reckon these current prices are even cheaper than they were back then (which seems strange—perhaps my memory is wrong). Or it may be that SNCF uses a different more competitive pricing structure than did the former. It's also possible that I've screwed up the conversion from Austrian shillings to Euros (I'll give it some more thought). Moreover, I thought the couchette prices to be very competitive to what I've experience in the past. (Again, my memory may not be correct but I base that comparison on my recollection on what I thought I paid for my last couchette which was from Paris to Bordeaux.) Also, the option to go via Zürich is certainly most welcome, one of which I'd gladly take advantage. This all reminds me that I must return to Vienna again soon (I lived there long enough to consider it my second home). :(
