The new European train that will take you to Prague without needing to fly
BRITS could soon travel as far as Prague by public transport - without having to board a plane.
A new train line is connecting Brussels and Prague next year.
Launching by European Sleeper, the sleeper train will start from March 25, 2024, and will take around 15 hours.
Other stops include Antwerp, , and Berlin before a stop in Dresden and then Prague.
And it will line up perfectly for Brits - the Eurostar currently connects London St Pancras to Brussels, which takes around 1hr56.
Passengers can then connect to the second train, where they will travel overnight.

The best service would be the 3:04pm from London St Pancras, which arrives at 6:05pm in Brussels - giving enough time to connect to the sleeper train.
Ticket prices are yet to be revealed.
Trains will depart at 7:22pm, arriving in Prague at 10:56am.
Departures will take place on Monday, Wednesday and Friday with return journeys on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday.

And it's not the only train route they hope to operate,
Another route could connect Amsterdam to Barcelona by 2025.
This means Brits would be able to travel by train to the Spanish hotspot, with Eurostar services to Amsterdam.
European Sleeper previously said in a statement: "The Amsterdam-Barcelona night train will strongly improve Europe’s quality of north-south rail connections.
“Even more so because one travels efficiently while asleep on the night train, and distances are reduced to just a night away."
The London-Amsterdam route is to be paused however, due to works at the Dutch train station, until June 2024.
Eurostar Gwendoline Cazenave told "We are still working on this, looking for a compromise, and by the end of October we should have the decision as to how we’re going to deal with this."
Eurostar has already scrapped routes from the UK to Disneyland Paris.
And UK station Ashford International is not expecting to welcome Eurostar back until at least 2025.
Even the Orient Express has been scrapped in the UK.
Previously starting at London Victoria, the British Pullman would then go via Folkestone onto Calais and then to Paris.
Sadly, the UK part of the train ride will stop next year to " avoid any risk of travel disruption" due to new border controls.
Thankully there are some other exciting new train routes being launched soon in Europe too.
