Buy your train reservation at a railway station. These are usually available at stations in all countries where a particular train runs through. In many countries, especially in central and eastern Europe you can also buy reservations for trains in other countries. In some countries (for instance in the Netherlands or Spain) you have to pay a service fee at the ticket counter.

The trains offer comfortable seats in 1st and 2nd class as well as a restaurant car. In 2nd class there are four seats per row (2+2) in open-plan carriages, most of them facing each other; or compartments with six seats per compartment. In 1st class there are three seats per row (2+1) in open-plan carriages, most of them facing each other.
