In these days of fuel crisis, the uncertainty in oil prices is directing both countries and tourists to Europe’s comfortable railway network.
According to Milli.Az, the increase in costs in the aviation sector encourages travel enthusiasts to prefer trains. The biggest good news of this summer has come for railway enthusiasts. Direct train services between Prague and Copenhagen have officially started. The new line, which came into service from May 1, connects two of Europe’s most popular cultural capitals. Passengers will be able to enjoy this unique route with attractive prices starting from 53 pounds (approximately 115 AZN) for one ticket. Supported by the European Commission to develop cross-border railway transport, this project is one of the 10 strategic lines planned across the continent.
Trains departing from Prague’s historic main station "Hlavní Nádraží" not only connect the two cities, but also pass through some of Germany’s most important points. Passengers can get off in the following cities if they wish:
Dresden
Berlin
Hamburg
