Hi, I intend to travel from Zurich on 27 Mar to Olso by rail, so that I can take the scenic train from Oslo to Bergen.

I will arrive at Kolding train station close to midnight. The train out to Copenhagen is at 5:06 am. I am wondering if I am able to wait in the station.

Looking forward to some advice.

Hello AnnAng and welcome to rail.cc

Do you travel with a rail pass (Interrail or Eurail) or by point to point tickets from Zurich to Bergen ?

Just as proposal:
1) Travel from Zurich to Hamburg by overnight train: [u]https://rail.cc/en/night-train/zurich-hamburg-nj-40470/500[/u]
2) From Hamburg continue via Copenhagen to Göteborg. Check for tickets here: [ux]https://rail.shop/bahn/Hamburg-hbf/Goteborg Central[/ux]
3) Stay there overnight, for example here is one of my favourites: [u]https://rail.cc/en/gothenburg/ibis-styles-goeteborg-city/l5662[/u]
4) Continue early in the morning from Göteborg (dep 06:55) to Oslo (arr 10:52) [u]https://rail.cc/en/train/gothenburg-to-oslo[/u]
5) And from Oslo (dep 12:03) to Bergen (arr 1855): [u]https://rail.cc/en/train/oslo-to-bergen[/u]

Of course you it might be nice to have some stops in between... or to include Flam railway [ux]https://rail.cc/blog/the-flam-railway/[/ux] ... :)
Or even to continue more to the north of Norway:

The opening times of the station building / waiting room are from 05:00 to 23:15h daily.

I have a Eurail Global Pass.

Yes, I must do the Flam Railway.

Arlbergline

Bergen Railway

Bernina Express

Black Forest Lines

Centovalli Railway

Flåm Railway

Glacier Express

Golden Pass

Gotthard Panorama Express

Rauma Line

Rhine Valley Line

Semmering Bahn

I only have a month. I\'ll be flying in and leaving from Zurich.

Hope you can find time to advise me.

You can travel through Denmark during the night:

Kolding 00:27 - 00:41 Fredericia
Fredericia 01:23 - 02:29 Aarhus
Aarhus 04:09 - 07:08 Copenhagen

You can easily make all scenic routes within one month. :)
