Night trains from Budapest

Budapest is one of the most important night train hubs in Central and South-Eastern Europe. From here, there are direct connections to destinations including Berlin, Stuttgart, Zurich, Bucharest, Kyiv, Koper and Rijeka. This makes Budapest suitable both for journeys towards Germany and Switzerland and for night train connections to Romania, Ukraine, Slovenia and the Adriatic.

Budapest is particularly strong because of its location between Central Europe, South-Eastern Europe and the eastern rail network. Many international night trains start, end or stop in the Hungarian capital and connect Budapest with important destinations across several European regions. For travellers from Hungary, Budapest is therefore the central entry point into the international night train network.

In Budapest, the exact station is important. Many night trains use Budapest Keleti, but depending on the connection, Budapest Nyugati, Budapest Déli, Budapest Kelenföld, Ferihegy or Kőbánya-Kispest may also be relevant. Before travelling, you should therefore always check which station is specifically shown, especially when changing trains within the city or when using international services with several intermediate stops.
