Prague and Brussels will be directly connected via a sleeper train starting in 2024, start-up European Sleeper recently announced. The Prague-Brussels route is an extension Brussels-Berlin night train that has recently been launched – over 10,000 tickets have already been sold for that new service, which runs twice per week.
The new route connecting Belgium with Czechia is expected to take about 15 hours and stop at Antwerp, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Berlin, and Dresden before arriving in Prague.Owing to the Eurostar connection at Brussels, it also opens up the possibility of travelers being able to get all the way from London to Prague (and vice versa) using just two trains.
The route was announced in 2021 in cooperation with Czech carrier RegioJet. Two years ago, the train from Prague was planned to arrive in Brussels in the morning, in time for meetings of European institutions. In the reverse direction, it would leave Brussels in the evening and arrive in Prague in the morning. However, no official schedule has yet been published.
