Questions
Night trains, answered
What counts as a night train here?
A direct train across a border, with beds or couchettes, that you are on at 3 in the morning. A night train's evening or early-morning stretch, when you get off before the night, is on the route pages, not here.
Which city has the most sleeper routes?
Vienna: 55 sleeper routes leave from there. Then Linz (32) and Salzburg (32).
Are these times live?
They are each railway's official open timetable for 26 Oct to 22 Nov 2026, loaded and checked every week. Trains can change on the day, so check with the operator before you travel.
Can I book here?
No. Every train links to its operator's own site to book: ÖBB Nightjet, European Sleeper, PKP Intercity and the others.
No sleeper on my route?
Try a night bus: pickthebus lists the night buses across a border, with their times and nights.
