Train

🌱 A greener way to get to Prague (from Amsterdam)

If you’d like to make the journey a little more sustainable and turn it into part of the adventure there are great alternatives to flying. You can, of course, drive to Prague by car, which takes around 8 hours from Amsterdam (depending on traffic). Another wonderful option is the night train from Amsterdam to Prague, operated by European Sleeper. You can board in the evening, fall asleep on the train, and wake up the next morning in Prague rested and ready to explore. It’s a comfortable, relaxed, and eco-friendly way to travel.
