European Sleeper has announced twice-weekly night services from Brussels to the famous lagoon city, with trains passing through the Netherlands, Germany and Austria en route to Italy.

Travellers from the UK will be able to connect onto the new European Sleeper service at Brussels, which is served from London by Eurostar.

The seasonal service will get under way on 5 February 2025, with trains operating throughout February and March, catching the February half-term school holidays and peak ski season.
