Prague sits inside a few hours of four other capitals and major cities, which makes it unusually good value as one stop on a longer trip rather than a single destination.

Praha hlavní nádraží is the main station and the one nearly every international service uses. It is a short walk or one metro stop from the old town, which is worth knowing before paying for a taxi.

Vienna, Dresden, Berlin and Munich are all reachable by direct train or coach. Journey times and fares vary enough by operator and how far ahead you book that we publish them per route, with the date checked, rather than as a single table that goes stale.

Articles here cover each route: which station, roughly how long, what a ticket costs, whether the coach beats the train, and what is worth seeing when you arrive.
