Is there a night train from Copenhagen?
Sleeping on the train
Short answer
Yes. In 2026 Snälltåget runs a night train between Berlin, Hamburg, Copenhagen Syd, Malmö and Stockholm, and EuroNight trains run Berlin–Hamburg–Copenhagen Airport–Malmö–Stockholm and Basel–Copenhagen Airport–Malmö. The Snälltåget night train runs on set weekdays from October to December 2026 and on dates around Christmas and New Year, with the last departures in early January 2027. After that it pauses for the season and returns after Easter. With an Interrail pass you must also reserve a seat, berth or compartment on these trains.
Why
- Night trains run towards both Germany and Sweden.
- Some stop at Copenhagen Airport, others at Copenhagen Syd.
- The Berlin night train has a winter break.
Details
From Malmö, daytime trains continue to Gothenburg and Oslo.
Tip
Check which Copenhagen station your night train uses, as it is not Copenhagen Central Station for all of them.
What may differ
Night train dates and routes change from season to season, so check the timetable before you plan.
