Since 2023, the private operator European Sleeper has been running a night train service from Berlin to Amsterdam & Brussels. This connection has since been extended eastward to Dresden and Prague.
Currently, tickets in the couchette car are being offered at particularly low prices. A trip from Prague or Berlin to Brussels, Amsterdam, or Rotterdam, or vice versa, is available for €30 each way. These cheap tickets are available for travel until early October 2025, booked by August 24, 2025.
The fares include the train ticket, compartment reservation for up to five people, bed linen, and luggage. Mineral water is also included. Additional drinks and snacks can be purchased for a fee.
Alternatively, you have the option of booking your own compartment for €120. The price is the same regardless of whether the compartment is used by one or five people. To book this option, select the Classic Private menu item on the landing page. The total price for the compartment will then be displayed.
Cancellation or refund is unfortunately not possible for these cheap tickets.

Route
The Brussels – Amsterdam – Berlin – Prague route is served three times a week. The train stops in Antwerp, Rotterdam, and The Hague, among other places. In Germany, it only stops in Berlin Hbf, Berlin Ostbahnhof, Dresden Hbf, and Bad Schandau before continuing to Decin and Prague. The journey from Berlin to Brussels takes approximately 10 hours.
You can view the exact timetable for your day here on EuropeanSleeper.eu.
Comfort & Travel Classes
European Sleeper offers a total of three travel classes:
In the seated car, there are a total of 6 seats. Unfortunately, the seats cannot be pushed together to form a flat surface, as it is possible in older ÖBB Nightjet compartments.
In the couchette car, depending on the chosen category, there are either 6 or (for an additional charge) 5 berths, whereby everything can be folded up during the day to create seating areas. Women’s compartments are also available. European Sleeper provides bedding, but you have to make the beds yourself.
In the sleeping car, there is space for a maximum of 3 people. By default, there is only a sink. A welcome drink and breakfast set this travel class apart from the couchette car. The beds are already made, and you benefit from a wake-up service. Women’s compartments are also available here.
Search & Book
The offer is only bookable via the landing pages linked above. The regular search returns higher prices.
During the booking process, you will automatically be assigned a seat in a compartment. It appears that changes are not possible:
The tickets are therefore booked in the Easy Night fare, which is not refundable.
