Berlin, Dresden & Prague Rail Journey
Connect three historic capitals along the Elbe Valley railway, with a stop to see the Bastei, crossing Germany and Czechia.
This is one of the most classic multi-country rail routes in Central Europe: explore Cold War history in Berlin, Baroque splendor in Dresden, and the medieval Old Town in Prague. The railway from Dresden to Prague runs right along the Elbe River through Saxon Switzerland; breaking up the journey to climb the Bastei turns a travel day into a scenic highlight. Ideal for first-time visitors to Central Europe. Spending about two nights in each city makes for a compact itinerary. The trade-off is skipping Potsdam and the outskirts of Prague.
