I booked train tickets (€29/pp) Vienna to Munich on oebb.at website and received email confirmation (in german) for the purchase. I was wondering if this is the only thing I will get from OBB? Is there another email for seat assignment? If not, is there a way to ask since it is a long train ride and we dont want to risk standing on the train the entire time.

There is no (automatical) seat assignment on trains here, but you can separately purchase seat reservations for 3€/seat. Be informed that it is not necessary in most cases as there are always vacant seats available. Here in (Central) Europe we rarely reserve seats as it would be against the philosophy of flexible transportation. Most passengers get their tickets just before departure and board the train without any pre-reserved seats. You can additionally improve your situation by arriving slightly earlier than the rest. Because then you could choose from a wider seat selection (depending on train). If you take the RailJet Train coming from Budapest, the cabin won%26#39;t fully empty, as a few will proceed to Munich (or stops in between) like you. You will definitely not stand the entire trip!

Thanks Mikey for the insight. The email confirmation threw me off a bit. Good thing we have google translate and helpful TAer like you!
