Questions

Night trains in Europe, answered

Europe has the densest night-train network in the world.

On this site: the Caledonian Sleeper from London to Scotland, the Night Riviera from London to Cornwall, the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express from Paris to Venice, and European Sleeper’s three routes from Brussels, Amsterdam and Paris to Prague, Berlin and Milan.

Austria’s Nightjet runs a wider network across central Europe.

For luxury, the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express.

For scenery on a budget, European Sleeper’s Brussels–Milan over the Gotthard, or the Caledonian Sleeper to Fort William across Rannoch Moor.

For a practical city hop, Amsterdam–Berlin or Paris–Berlin overnight.

Not directly; there is no overnight train through the Channel Tunnel.

Take Eurostar to Brussels or Paris in the afternoon and board a European Sleeper the same evening for Berlin, Prague or Milan. European Sleeper →

Only the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, a luxury train running on selected dates from March to November.

For a budget alternative, combine a European Sleeper to Milan with an Italian day train. Orient Express →

Often close, once you count a hotel night saved.

European Sleeper couchettes start at €49.99 to €79.99 one way; the Caledonian Sleeper starts at £54 for a seat.

Luxury trains are a different category entirely.
