Whether you’re on a European city-hopping adventure or want to cross vast swathes of countryside at once in Southeast Asia, the sleeper train is a convenient and exciting option. Here are the best overnight sleeper journeys you can take with Culture Trip.

You doze off slowly to the soothing motion of a train gently whizzing through the countryside. You wake up in a totally different part of the country, perhaps having arrived at your destination already. Sleeper trains are a unique experience that turn your travel time into an activity in itself, without having to waste a minute of your daytime schedule. It’s a strange blend of efficiency mixed with a sense of childlike wonderment – it’s a gimmick, but it’s fun. Our trips are carefully curated by Travel Experts who know how to perfectly plan out an itinerary that lets you see lots of a country, or even a continent, in just one trip. Our Rail Trips embrace sustainable slow travel, while sleeper trains even feature on our classic Culture Trips, too.
