EuroNight (EN) trains are operated by various European railway carriers and offer an extensive overnight network throughout Europe. Sleep comfortably aboard a EuroNight train as you make your way to cities like Warsaw, Budapest, Zagreb and Berlin and arrive at your destination well-rested, with a whole day of exploring ahead of you!

Since the vast network of EuroNight trains is a cooperation between various carriers, they offer different types of products across each and every route. The same train usually includes multiple destinations to cover as many direct routes as possible in the most comfortable way. This is why certain trains are typically split up or combined at centrally located stations in Europe, such as Breclav, Bohumin and Salzburg.

It's the most timeless and romantic way of travelling Europe: in classic couchettes and sleeping cars that provide the ultimate Interrail experience.

EuroNight routes

With many routes to choose from, the EuroNight is a great way to travel to many destinations mainly in Central Europe, such as Austria, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Poland, Slovakia, Romania, Czechia and Switzerland. It has accommodation options to suit everyone and takes you to some of Europe's greatest cities while you sleep.
