Train 1
Journey Features
Good to Know
Final Destination: Berlin Ost
All trains also call at: Amersfoort; Bremen; Hannover; Berlin Spandau
This is a scenically un-interesting journey across the flat landscape of the plains of northern Europe.
So it's a particularly good idea to have something to read or watch to fill in the time.
Train 2
Journey Features
Good to Know
Final Destination: Budapest* or Praha/Prag (German spelling) or Graz**
These trains normally depart from the lower level (tief) in Berlin Hbf.
Arriving in Praha/Prague:
Don't assume that you have to leave the train at Praha hl.n. which is the main station in the city.
These trains first call at Praha-Holešovice and this station has easier connections (by tram) to some parts of the city, particularly by the river - including The King Charles Bridge.
Like Praha hl.n. it is also served by Line C of the Prague Metro and if your final destination in the city is along Line C, you'll have a quicker journey if you leave the train at Praha-Holešovice.
It takes more than 10 minutes for the trains to travel on to Praha hl.n so you can be on your way to your destination before these trains will have arrived there.
Journey description:
Between Dresden and Prague, the train travels through the beautiful Elbe River valley, but sit on the left of the train (when facing the direction of travel) for the best views.
This part of the journey between Dresden and Prague/Praha is so fabulous that it's featured on the Daily Telegraph's list of Best Train Journeys that can be completed in a day.
