Night train map

The map draws every route as a line between the real station cities it actually calls at, so what you’re looking at is the current, working shape of Europe’s night-train network rather than a stylised diagram. Click on any city and you’ll see the services that touch it — useful if you know where you want to end up but haven’t decided which route gets you there, or if you’re trying to work out whether a stopover city has onward connections worth timing around.

What the map shows today is 31 live routes across Europe, concentrated in a few dense clusters rather than spread evenly. Vienna and Zurich anchor the Alpine core, with Munich acting as a busy interchange toward both Rome and Warsaw. Amsterdam, Brussels and Berlin form a tighter cluster in the northwest, largely European Sleeper’s territory. Further north the lines thin out but stretch much further — Stockholm down to Malmö, and up into Swedish Lapland toward Narvik and the Arctic Circle, plus separate Norwegian lines linking Oslo, Bergen and Trondheim. To the south, Italy’s spine runs Rome and Milan down to Sicily, and in the west, Paris Austerlitz radiates out to the Riviera and the Pyrenees. Europe is the only region live right now — routes into Asia, North Africa and North America are marked “coming soon” on the map and aren’t covered yet, so don’t be surprised if a route you’re expecting isn’t there.

Why the lines keep moving

This isn’t a static network, and the map changes because the underlying services genuinely do. Some of that is seasonal by design: RegioJet’s Prague–Split line only exists in July and August, and Poland’s “Adriatic Express” to Rijeka is a summer-only service that expanded to up to six times weekly in summer 2026 with a new Koper coach added. Other changes are operators actively reshaping their networks — ÖBB Nightjet dropped its Paris–Vienna, Paris–Berlin and Munich/Vienna–La Spezia routes in December 2025, and European Sleeper filled part of that gap by launching its own Paris–Berlin service in March 2026, adding a Hamburg stop that July. Sweden’s overnight Stockholm–Berlin sleeper is mid-handover as we write this: SJ ended its own version on 31 August 2026, with Snälltåget and RDC Deutschland taking over the corridor.

Infrastructure and disruption play a role too. The Paris–Latour-de-Carol line has been suspended since February 2026 after landslide damage between Foix and Ax-les-Thermes, and engineering works between Nuremberg and Linz have rerouted some German Nightjet services via Munich through 2026. Not every change is a cut, though — Prague–Gdynia’s “Baltic Express” became a permanent year-round sleeper service in December 2025 after running as a trial, and Caledonian Sleeper added a new Birmingham International stop in January 2026. Check the date on any route page before you plan around it: timetables here are approximate general patterns, not a guarantee for your specific travel day, and the network is being actively rebuilt in both directions — routes lost and routes gained — as we publish this.
