Getting around by train Prague

The rapids and omnibus towards Western Bohemia go here.

Dating from 1845, it is the second oldest railway station in Prague, and its two towers are quite typical of the architecture of the time. Today, it is used for regional and suburban trips, but projects to build business centres in the surrounding area could give it a new lease of life. Bus departures to Chomutov, Pardubice, Brnó. Newspaper stands, and fast food. Trains to Kutná Hora.

Located in the city centre and easily accessible by metro line C, it is the train station for Berlin, Vienna, Dresden and Bratislava, but many regional trains also stop there, especially to and from Brno. Inside, there are counters to buy international tickets, but also to book hotel nights. There will also be exchange offices, a deposit..

This is where the main international lines leave from. The building is worth a look: built by Josef Fanta between 1907 and 1909, it is typically Art Nouveau and a pilgrimage is required in the former Salle des pas perdus. Nevertheless, today's travellers use the large alleys of the modern station (not very successful...) built under the historic station which has become too narrow. Don't miss the superb Belle Époque café upstairs.

Located in the main station (on the first floor), this agency offers many destinations throughout Europe at very advantageous Rates for young people under 26 years of age (BIJ ticket) and other travellers (international ticket, bunk bed, bed, Interrail) as well as exchange and accommodation services (rates negotiated with hostels and hotels of all categories). You can pay by Visa/EuroCard/MasterCard (which is not uncommon in Prague).
