Hi,

We would like to take a night train to istanbul from Sofia in August but interrail planner and deutsche Bahn application indicate that there are no train. Do you know if some night train do actually run?

Thanks for your answer,

Alexia

Hi Alexia, welcome to railcc!

Schedule planners can only show connections which have been added to the database which they are using. ;)

There is a daily night train from Sofia to Istanbul, you can find all details here: [ux]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-night-train/sofia-istanbul-d-493/309[/ux]
The terminus of the night train is Halkali station [ux]https://rail.cc/en/halkali/istanbul-halkali-railway-station/l3245[/ux] on the outskirts of Istanbul; a shuttle bus will take you from there to Sirkeci station in the city centre.

You can read more about the journey in our blog: [ux]https://rail.cc/blog/bucharest-sofia-istanbul-train/[/ux]
