Night trains from Berlin

Berlin is one of the most important night train hubs in Germany. From here, direct connections operate to destinations including Brussels, Vienna, Zurich, Paris, Amsterdam, Stockholm and Budapest. This makes Berlin well suited both for journeys to Western Europe and Scandinavia, and for night train routes towards Austria, Switzerland and Southeastern Europe.

In Berlin, the exact departure or arrival station is especially important. Many night trains use Berlin Hauptbahnhof, but depending on the connection, Berlin Ostbahnhof, Berlin Südkreuz, Berlin Gesundbrunnen or Berlin Lichtenberg may also be relevant. Before travelling, you should therefore check not only the city, but always the specific station shown on your ticket or timetable, especially when changing trains within Berlin.

For travellers from eastern and northeastern Germany, Berlin is a central gateway to the European night train network. The city brings together connections from traditional night train operators, international routes and private providers such as European Sleeper, making it a strong starting point for longer overnight rail journeys.
