Leave the capital on Friday evening and wake up in the Czech Republic the next morning? A dream? Yes, but one that’s well within reach! The night train connecting Brussels-Midi to Prague offers a direct alternative to flying for European getaways. This schedule allows travelers to settle in early in the evening, fall asleep en route, and arrive at their destination on Saturday around 11 a.m.
The comfort of the berths and breakfast on board
The train, chartered by European Sleeper, crosses several borders during the night. The route passes through stations in Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and Berlin before reaching the Czech Republic. Inside, the sleeper cars allow passengers to lie down fully to rest. Here, you can forget about cramped, uncomfortable seats! The next morning, the crew serves breakfast right in your cabin, including bread, crackers, various spreads, juice, and a hot beverage. The goal of this package? To arrive at your destination feeling much less tired than you would after an early morning flight or a long drive.
A weekend optimized until Sunday evening
Arriving at Prague’s train station in the late morning also allows you to start sightseeing immediately. The weekend’s schedule leaves time to explore the city’s historic center and observe its traditional trams. Or you can enjoy a cruise on the Vltava River and sample trdelník, a local sweet pastry baked on a spit. The return trip follows the same logistical plan. The train leaves Prague on Sunday evening to bring passengers back to Belgium in the early morning. This overnight train line also serves other stops along the way, offering travelers from Brussels the opportunity to stop in Berlin or Amsterdam, for example, after about an eleven-hour journey.
