Stroll through Florence, spot mermaids in Copenhagen and swim laps in Lake Como. That sounds delicious right? You can easily reach these destinations by plane. Would you rather take the train? Then it will be made very easy for you. From May 25 you can take the night train from Zoetermeer to various European cities in no time.

Traveling by train is a lot better for the environment than flying. If you can also travel to your destination while sleeping and don’t have to change trains, that’s great. In 2021 we already wrote that from Zoetermeer, via Utrecht CS or Rotterdam CS, you can travel by train to Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Cologne, Vienna, London, Paris and Berlin. More cities have now been added to that list: Bolzano, Salzburg, Copenhagen, Gothenburg, Malmö, Florence, Bologna, Como and Linz.

Sustainable alternative

The sleeping trains are an initiative of GreenCityTrip.nl, part of the Breda travel organization Flywise. According to the owners, the demand for a sustainable alternative to air travel is high. “With this step, we as a travel organization are leading the way in enabling travelers to travel even more responsibly,” says co-owner Maarten Bastian.

Travel expenses

Whichever city you visit from Zoetermeer, with the GreenCityTrip night train your mini holiday will take five days as standard. You have two options. The first is ticket-only, this trip does not include a hotel. From 149 euros you already have a shared coupe. Do you prefer to book a hotel included? Then go for the city trip. From 199 euros you already have a shared compartment and two overnight stays with a hotel of your choice.

Luggage

Breakfast and drinks are not included in the price, but can be added. You can also opt for a private compartment for two people with its own washbasin. And if you go shopping or skiing, we have good news: unlimited luggage is allowed on the train. Books and more information about the night train can be found on the website†

In addition to Zoetermeer, you can depart from other cities in the Netherlands (note, this varies per destination): Utrecht, Amsterdam, Breda, Rotterdam, The Hague and Arnhem.
