October 2023 - Prague, Czechia  


  Tony and Sarah celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary with a romantic trip on the night train to Prague - The city of a thousand spires!

We have been wanting to do the night train to Prague ever since we heard of it. And our 20th anniversary seemed like the perfect time to do it. We left Amsterdam Central station at 7pm and enjoyed a romantic evening talking over cheese and wine. We rented a private 2-person cabin and woke up to breakfast and views of the countryside.

Night train to Prague was everything we hoped it would be. No hassle to board. Comfy and nice ride. And forgot how pleasant it is to get off right at the main train station and walk direcrly out into the best past of town. We really loved it!


 

of course we packed cheese, wine, and DECORATIONS to celebrate!

Prague is also home to many absynthe bars
