"A friend and I spent a night in Zurich train station in March 05. We were travelling with an Interrail pass, and we were not willing to pay for a hostel. We were in the station from about 9 pm to 5 am the next morning. Until 10 everything was fine, because Zurich train station resembles a mall, there's lots to do. At 10 everything closed, and we were beginning to get tired. We began by trying to sleep on some hard stone benches, but were woken by a good Samitarian who told us all about the youth hostel. We wandered upstairs and found a hotel listing, where you could check prices (too high) and addresses of hotels. You could even call free if so inclined. After this we discovered a waiting room that was open until midnight for those with valid tickets. The seats were plastic and uncomfortable, but there were no armrests so we could stretch out. Unfortunately that waiting room closed at midnight. There was another waiting room available from 12-6 for those with valid train passes, but securtity didn't open it. We found out around 1, after unsuccessfully trying to sleep on a stone bench, that we had to ask for them to open it. It was opened, there was a bathroom, and we got a couple hours of sleep. We were thrown out around 5 by a security guard who seemed rather irritated that we had been sleeping... should have been waiting... We hopped on the next train out and slept there. Overall bearable. We could have done it better if we'd had information about the train station beforehand."
