Night Train Map 2025

Our map of all regular night trains in Europe

Have you ever wondered to which destinations you can travel by night train? Are you looking for inspiration for your next holiday? Then we got you covered: This is a map of all night train lines currently running in Europe, based on our night train database. The database and map are updated regularly to reflect time table changes and announcements of new night train services.

How to use our night train map

The colours indicate which operator’s website is best for booking. All websites are in English and offer online booking. We are in the process of adding more information – line by line – from our night train database, to make our map fully interactive.

Is the map complete and up to date?

If a line is missing or has been discontinued, please let us know. We adhere to the following rules when deciding whether to add a night train to our map and how to display it:

We only add trains that offer sleeping or couchette cars.
We add irregular services only if they run at least weekly for three subsequent months.
We do not add luxury cruise trains or car trains that do not allow booking without a vehicle.
We add future lines when they are announced for the current year’s timetable.
We aim to provide an overview, so we can not display all stops.
Lines, stops and end points are not necessarily at their exact geographical location.

Usage Rights

You can use the map freely under CC-BY-NC 3.0 rules. Please credit our work in this form: (CC-BY-NC) Juri Maier / Back-on-Track.eu providing a link to this page if technically possible. Please contact us if you want to use the map for commercial purposes.

Printable version: You may download a PDF version here. (Please note that we can’t provide a print-optimised version with crop marks etc. as we don’t have the funding for the necessary tools. But there is a sufficient margin, so a designer with a professional programme like InDesign should be able to provide you with a printable version within 10-15 minutes.)

Credits: Our design was inspired by the maps of Jug Cerovič, the Flying Indonesian and the Green EP Group.

Would you like a professional print?

Our night train map is printed annually in February/March as a poster which can be ordered below. We don’t send single copies because individual posters in a C4 envelope get creased too easily – so order one for you and and make somebody else learn more about night trains. The price covers only cost of printing, packaging and postage (to all regular addresses worldwide). So feel free to round up the price if you would also like to support our work.

Already ordered the 2025 version? – Good news: As promised, we had the map printed in March, will receive it in the first days of April & have already prepared the envelopes for dispatch to you. Thanks!
