The new route will connect Brussels with Venice, passing through Utrecht, Cologne, Munich, Innsbruck, and Verona. Thus, the train will link five European countries: Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, and Italy.

February and March, which are peak seasons for winter sports and school vacations in these countries, are particularly busy times. Venice attracts tourists during this period with its famous carnival celebration.

As a result, European Sleeper trains will run twice a week during these two months.

The night train route will traverse the picturesque Austrian Alps, providing a convenient connection between the North and Mediterranean Seas.

Currently, the train schedule is being coordinated with national infrastructure operators.

Ticket sales for the new route will start on September 1, 2024. Tickets will be available on the European Sleeper website and the GreenCityTrip platform.

At present, European Sleeper already operates three weekly services on the Brussels – Amsterdam – Berlin – Prague route, having begun service on March 25, 2024.

The operator, with support from the European Commission, also plans to open a new route between Amsterdam and Barcelona.
