Prague and Copenhagen will be connected by rail for the first time in over 10 years as a new service launches between the two capitals. A direct rail service between Prague and Copenhagen started on 1 May, run by Czech operator České dráhy. Due to track closures in Germany, the service has started by running only two trains per day that are temporarily following a detour between Berlin and Hamburg, making the journey slightly longer. For the next few weeks, the service will leave Prague Main Station at 6.31am, arriving in Copenhagen at 7.38pm. A service will also run from the Danish capital at 8.22am, arriving into Prague at 9.25pm. Starting 14 June, České dráhy will switch to full service, running three times a day from Prague to Copenhagen and back. From that date, the trains will depart from Prague at 6.30am and 10.30pm, and during the summer season also at 4.30pm, taking around 11 hours. From Copenhagen to Prague, trains will run direct from 5.54am, 9.54am and 11.14pm.…
