Night Train From Berlin to Brussels: Service Ends in March

Published by

on

A night train service linking Berlin and Brussels will cease operations by the end of March.

The Nightjet connecting the capital cities of Germany and Belgium operates thrice weekly at present.

The service is run by ÖBB, which is Austria’s national railway company, and forms part of an extensive network of overnight train routes linking numerous major German cities with various locations across Europe.

The Nightjet sleeper train from Berlin to

, which began operations in December 2023, will be shutting down on March 28.

The indefinite cancellation of the service was declared by ÖBB and initially uncovered by The Man is Seat 61 — a site dedicated to European railway journeys.

“Due to the challenging last-minute track maintenance in Germany and (undoubtedly) because it operates on the same three weekdays as the European Sleeper, they appear to have conceded defeat,” noted founder Mark Smith.

The connection from Berlin’s Ostbahnhof and Hauptbahnhhof to Brussels Midi took approximately 14 hours.

Alternative night train choices for traveling from Berlin to Brussels

Tickets for the overnight service begin at €79 per person for a six-person couchette, €99 for a five-person couchette, and €109 for a bed in a three-bed sleeper.

“It’s worthwhile to pay extra for a couchette in a 5-berth compartment since each person gets more space compared to a 6-berth, plus the carriage is nicer with air conditioning,” notes Smith in his review.

Thanks to the welcoming team, cozy bedding, and complimentary morning meal, this is an excellent approach to journeying.
