Paris to Berlin night train set to restart later this month

In news that will delight all fans of Infernal’s 2004 pop banger, the night train from Paris to Berlin is set to restart later this month.

ÖBB and SNCF stopped running its night train service on this route – which only launched in 2023 – in mid-December last year.

Now European Sleeper is set to start its service between the French and German capitals from 26 March.

Trains will travel from Paris on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, and from Berlin on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

The journey takes around 18 hours and leaves Paris at 6:03 pm CET, arriving in Berlin the next morning at 9:03 am CET. The reverse leg of the journey departs from Berlin at 6:31 pm CET, arriving back in Paris at 10:58 am CET.

Other stops on the route include Aulnoye-Aymeries in France, plus Mons, Brussels and Liège in Belgium. From July this year, the train will also stop in Hamburg.

Prices start from €79.99 one-way for a shared cabin, and women’s-only compartments are available. You can also book out a private cabin from €279.99.

Other night train routes from European Sleeper

Dutch-Belgian railway company European Sleeper launched its first sleeper train route between Berlin and Brussels in 2023. That route has since been extended to Dresden and Prague.

In September 2026, European Sleeper is also set to launch a service between Brussels and Milan.

That train will call at stations including Liège, Cologne, Zürich and Como.

Routes from other operators set to launch this year include a service between Prague and Copenhagen via Berlin, and between London Euston and Stirling in Scotland.
