Railway Map of Europe
A map of the present day railway network in Europe (as of January 2024) designed in a retro mid-20th century style, showing all the major intercity lines as well as most regional lines across the entire continent including Turkey. It features enlargements of two densely-populated regions (the Low Countries and western Germany, and Switzerland and northern Italy) and ten capital cities including Berlin, Madrid, Paris, Rome and Vienna.
Each type of railway is represented by a variety of stroke widths and styles, graduating from the thickest (high speed lines) to the thinnest (light rail and narrow gauge lines). Major towns and cities are marked by circles, with larger circles representing important interchanges. Ferry routes between important ports connected to the rail network are also shown.
