EuroNight trains

A large network of night trains in Europe operate under the name EuroNight (EN). These night trains are jointly operated by many different operators, especially in Central Europe. Because of this, they often contain a variety of different carriages depending on the route. They are also mostly split up at some point during the night, because one train can have carriages bound for multiple destinations.

 

Destinations:

Prague, Budapest, Vienna, Warsaw, Krakow, Berlin, Munich, Stuttgart, Zagreb, Rijeka, Split, Zurich, Bratislava and more.
