More than just Prague
“The fact that European Sleeper's night train to Prague also stops at other places is crucial for us, because it is in line with our promotion of active holidays in nature. Dutch and Belgians often travel to the regions and our goal for next year is to increase that number,” said Petra Koorn Palečková, director of CzechTourism Benelux.
Last year, 223.400 Dutch and more than 79.000 Belgians came to the Czech Republic. Dutch travelers have been in the TOP 10 of foreign tourists visiting the Czech Republic for years.
