Night trains from Freiburg im Breisgau

Freiburg im Breisgau is an important night train stop in south-west Germany. From here, there are direct connections to destinations including Amsterdam, Basel, Zurich, Hamburg, Berlin and Prague. This makes Freiburg especially suitable for journeys towards Switzerland, the Netherlands, northern Germany and Czechia.

Freiburg is particularly practical because of its location between southern Baden, the Black Forest, Basel and Switzerland. Many night trains stop here on their way between Switzerland, south-west Germany, northern Germany and the Netherlands. For travellers from southern Baden, the Black Forest and the Upper Rhine region, Freiburg is therefore a useful entry point into the European night train network without first having to travel to Basel or Karlsruhe.

The most important station is Freiburg Hauptbahnhof. It is centrally located in the city and well connected to German long-distance and regional rail services. Even so, before travelling you should always check which station is specifically shown and whether your connection departs directly from Freiburg or whether boarding in Basel, Karlsruhe or at another stop would be more convenient.
