Did you know there is a sleeper train service that directly connects the Belgian capital of Brussels with the picturesque city of Prague in the Czech Republic?  This amazing overnight journey has been in operation since May 2024 and runs multiple times per week throughout the summer season.  With rising costs of air travel and increasing awareness around sustainable tourism, this sleeper train provides an eco-friendly and economical way for travellers to experience the beauty of Europe by rail.

The train, operated by European rail company Nightjet, departs Brussels in the evening and arrives in Prague the following morning after an approximately 12-hour journey. Comfortable sleeper cabins provide passengers with a peaceful night’s rest as the train winds its way through the countryside of Belgium, Germany, and finally into the Czech Republic.

Wakey! Wakey! You are in Prague

“Waking up in Prague after being gently rocked to sleep is a truly unique experience,” said travel writer Jessica Lipnack, who was one of the first to try the new sleeper service. “You arrive feeling refreshed and ready to explore, instead of feeling groggy from an early flight.”

The sleeper cabins range from affordable couchette compartments to luxury double bedrooms with private bathrooms. All passengers have access to a dining car serving meals and drinks throughout the journey. Many are drawn to the romance and adventure of overnight train travel harkening back to a bygone era.

More than Just a Connection

“It’s not just transportation from A to B, it’s an experience in itself,” remarked Tomas Klimes, a Canadian tourist taking the sleeper from Brussels to Prague. “Watching the landscapes slowly transition through the window, meeting fellow travellers over drinks in the lounge car – it’s the epitome of slow travel.”

The introduction of this new sleeper service comes at an opportune time as travellers increasingly seek sustainable options. Compared to air travel which emits substantial carbon emissions, this train journey produces significantly less environmental impact per passenger.

Join the Experience

Prague’s main tourist office is excited about the new connection as well. “The sleeper train offers a hassle-free way to reach Prague directly from Western Europe,” said Tereza Kucerova, a spokesperson. “We expect it will be very popular among tourists who want to travel in an eco-conscious and unique style.”

Whether drawn by sustainability, cost savings, or a taste for adventure, travellers have a new and captivating way to journey from Belgium’s capital to one of Europe’s most enchanting cities. This sleeper train is catching on and you would do YOU some good by booking your ticket.
