Things you should know about The European Sleeper from Brussels to Prague - gilest

I love the European Sleeper for what it does: takes you from Brussels (and a bunch of other stops in The Netherlands) all the way to Prague, overnight. No planes, no airports. You arrive in the centre of Prague and you’re good to go. Excellent.

But what I really disliked about the European Sleeper - and what Seat 61 really doesn’t make very clear - is that it’s an extremely basic service. So basic, that it fails to live up to some pretty low expectations.

Giles Turnbull writes about his experience on the European Sleeper from Brussels to Prague and back. The lack of cleanliness popped up a lot. In fact, I remembered the outside of the carriages being dirty on their inaugural ride.
