Night trains from Vienna

Vienna is one of the most important night train hubs in Europe. From here, there are direct connections to destinations including Berlin, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Zurich, Rome, Venice, Warsaw, Bucharest, Split and Kyiv. This makes Vienna suitable both for journeys within Austria and for international night train connections to Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania, Switzerland, Croatia and Ukraine.

Vienna is particularly strong because of the central role of ÖBB Nightjet services. Many night trains start, end or stop in Vienna, making the city one of the most important starting points for overnight rail journeys in Europe. For travellers from Austria, Czechia, Hungary and Slovakia, Vienna is often the most obvious entry point into the international night train network.

In Vienna, the exact station is important. Many night trains use Wien Hauptbahnhof, but depending on the connection, Wien Meidling, Wien Westbahnhof, Wien Floridsdorf or the car train terminal at the main station may also be relevant. Before travelling, you should therefore always check which station is specifically shown, especially when changing trains within the city.
