European Sleeper night train that connects Brussels, Amsterdam and Berlin will be further expanded to include Dresden and Prague.
The decision, which is set to become effective from March 25, has been officially confirmed by the Belgian-Dutch cooperative.
The night train service that operated thrice a week between these territories has unfolded plans to be further expanded.
From March 25 2024, the Brussels – Amsterdam – Berlin night train will be extended to the Czech capital, Prague. Along the way, it also stops in romantic Dresden, the spectacular nature reserve of Saxon Switzerland and in the beautiful Elbe valley.
The night train departs from the Netherlands’ capital, Central Station, at 10:34 pm and arrives in Dresden at 8:29 am and Prague Main Station at 10:56 am the following day.
For a seat in a shared six-person compartment, ticket prices start at €89. In addition, passengers are also eligible to book a Couchette compartment for six persons for €99 per person or four people for €139 per person. The most comfortable option is a sleeper compartment for three people at €169 per person. It includes a seating area, wash basin, and breakfast.
In addition, the European Sleeper also said that it is an excellent option for attending the Euro 2024 matches in Berlin, where the Netherlands will be playing in Leipzig on June 21 and Austria in Berlin on June 25.
In October last year, SchengenVisaInfo.com reported that the European Sleeper train that connects Brussels, Amsterdam and Berlin would be expanded to include Dresen and Prague.
European Sleeper also revealed plans to launch a night train between Amsterdam and the French Alps and an Amsterdam-Barcelona service that is set to launch in 2025.
The Amsterdam and Barcelona night train will strongly improve Europe’s quality of north-south rail connections. Even more so because one travels efficiently while asleep on the night train, while distances are reduced to just a night away.
Taking into account the environmental benefits that it brings, European countries are attempting to promote train travel as one of the most eco-friendly ways of transport, especially for short distances.
Last year, the European Union Agency for Railways (ERA) unfolded plans to make Europe’s railway regulations fit pan-European travel. Furthermore, ERA announced that it is cooperating with national authorities to abolish all the obstacles that hamper border crossings.
