New Nightjet City of Hamburg: Comfort and luxury for travelers!

On June 2, 2025, the time had finally come: The new Nightjet train "City of Hamburg" was ceremoniously baptized. Mayor Peter Tschentscher (SPD) and his wife Eva-Maria had the honor of celebrating this special moment. The night train will be traveling between Hamburg and the Austrian cities of Vienna and Innsbruck and thus conveniently connects Northern Germany with Austria. The event was accompanied by numerous representatives of the Deutsche Bahn (DB) and the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB), which underlined the importance of this event.

The new connection is considered one of the most popular with passengers. Last but not least, this is due to the latest generation of Nightjet trains that are used on this route. These trains offer innovative amenities that make traveling even more pleasant overnight. The sleeping car compartments have their own toilets and shower facilities, which significantly increases comfort.
