Tickets
The Snalltaget booking path is comparatively straightforward for a night train.
In common with how the accommodation on most European night trains is sold the price for travelling in an ordinary seat is in effect the base price to which the costs of travelling by the other options is then added.
On this train, in addition to the ordinary seats, the other options are:
- reclining seats
- a berth in a shared sleeping compartment
- an entire private compartment, which can be used solo, or by up to 6 members of a travelling party
The private compartments are sold at a flat rate irrespective of the occupancy, so check the prices carefully, for groups of 4 or more the private compartment can be cheaper than a separate place per person in the shared compartments.
Using InterRail
The Snalltaget guide explains how InterRail users can make reservations, but it makes no mention for Eurail pass users.

Good to Know
Note that the timetable on the Snalltaget website states that this train arrives at the main station in the German capital Berlin Hbf, but when you book it shows the correct info, which is that this train arrives at an alternative station in the city centre, Berlin Friedrichstraße.
If your destination is in central Berlin, this is actually a positive, Friedrichstraße is in the heart of East Berlin, it's by museum island and has more connections available by both metro and local trains than are possible at Berlin hbf.
Though if you want to connect into other long-distance trains from Berlin, you'll need to buy a local ticket and board a S-Bahn local train heading west to Berlin hbf.
