As a long-time fan of train travel, I was thrilled to hear about the launch of a new sleeper train service from Brussels to Hamburg. The new link, operated by European Sleeper, offers a convenient and exciting way to explore Germany's second city, with a journey that takes nearly 12 hours.
Starting in London, the first step is Eurostar, which whisks passengers across the Channel to Brussels in no time. From there, it's on to the sleeper train, which offers a range of accommodation options, from budget-friendly bunks to more luxurious cabins with proper beds and duvets.
I booked a couchette cabin with a top bunk, which offered a peaceful and private space to sleep. The train was surprisingly quiet, and I was able to get a good night's rest despite the gentle rocking motion. The next morning, I woke up feeling refreshed and ready to explore Hamburg.
Hamburg is a city that has long been on my bucket list, and I was eager to experience its vibrant culture and stunning architecture. With the new sleeper train service, I was able to do just that, without the hassle and expense of flying.
