Night trains from Salzburg

Salzburg is an important night train stop in Austria. From here, there are direct connections to destinations including Vienna, Zurich, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Rome, Venice, Ljubljana and Zagreb. This makes Salzburg especially suitable for night train journeys towards Switzerland, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Slovenia and Croatia.

Salzburg is particularly practical because of its location between western Austria, Bavaria and the Alps. Many international night trains stop here on their way between Vienna, Munich, Innsbruck, Italy and South-Eastern Europe. For travellers from Salzburg, the Salzkammergut, the Berchtesgadener Land and parts of Bavaria, the city is therefore a useful entry point into the European night train network.

The most important station is Salzburg Hauptbahnhof. It is centrally located and well connected to Austrian and cross-border regional and long-distance rail services. Even so, before travelling you should always check which station is specifically shown and whether your connection departs directly from Salzburg or whether boarding in Vienna, Munich, Innsbruck or at another stop would be more convenient.
