5 . Here are some of the best new trains in Europe you’ll be able to take in 2024.

Paris — Berlin ÖBB nightjet

Links between two of Europe’s most visited capitals have traditionally been pretty poor, with no direct trains since the 1990s. However, that has just changed with the introduction of a direct overnight train operated by an Austrian company. Initially running three times a week via Strasbourg and Frankfurt, the “nightjet” connection will step up to nightly in the fall of 2024, providing a high-quality direct service for business travelers and tourists.

Italy’s new super-deluxe train

A year later than expected, Italy’s glorious new super-deluxe train Orient Express La Dolce Vita will welcome its first passengers some time in 2024. The hyper-luxurious 11-carriage train will feature a stylish “Bar Car” with live music and games, 12 deluxe wood-lined cabins and 18 master suites complete with double beds, a sofa, armchairs and private bathroom.

Brussels — Prague sleeper

Belgian — Dutch cooperative European Sleeper hit the rails in 2023 and will extend its Brussels — Berlin train to Dresden and Prague in 2024, providing a much needed direct link between cities in western and central Europe. Linking four of the continent’s tourist hotspots, the train offers seats and berths (铺位) which are in high demand, especially during the peak summer months for backpackers.

The route provides convenience for 4 million people to visit the Roman city of Pompeii, famously destroyed by a volcanic eruption in 79 CE. Leaving Rome just before 9 am, the trip allows visitors to explore Pompeii and still be back in Rome by 9 pm for a late dinner. However, it only runs on Sundays and selected public holidays.
