European Sleeper is excited to announce the launch of a new direct night train from Brussels to the Czech Republic. The train will depart from Brussels South three times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with departure times of 7:22 PM in Brussels and 8:01 PM in Antwerp.
The train will pass through Berlin in the early morning, stop in Dresden two hours later, and arrive in Prague before 11 a.m. Return trips from Prague to Brussels will occur on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings. This new connection provides travelers with an easy way to reach the beautiful cities of Dresden and Prague without having to change trains or spend long hours on buses.
European Sleeper co-founder Elmer van Buuren expressed excitement about the new connection to Prague, following the successful launch of the Brussels to Berlin route. The company plans to add new routes each year, with a projected Amsterdam-Brussels-Barcelona connection in the near future. The Nightjet from the Austrian railway company ÖBB also offers a Brussels to Vienna route, providing competition for European Sleeper.
The new train route was tested recently with the goal of attracting more travelers from Brussels and Amsterdam to Dresden and Prague. The company expects that around 40 percent of travelers will opt for this extended connection. European Sleeper’s expansion plans include introducing new routes annually, with the potential for an Amsterdam-Brussels-Barcelona connection in the coming years.
