Direct flights to Prague

Direct bus and train links to Prague

Eurolines have a wide range of destinations across Europe, many of them connecting to Prague.

Some of the direct routes not served by airlines include Antwerp, Basel, Brasov, Dijon, Eindhoven, Kraków, Leipzig, Lille, Maribor, Nürnberg, Regensburg, Strasbourg, Stuttgart, Wroclaw, Zagreb.

Currently (29/09) tickets are available only until 31 March. Tickets for April must be released for sale soon.

Czech Railways‘s website is a bit hard to navigate, but you can find timetable information.

Czech Transport is a private tickets aggregator that’s much more user friendly. (I actually got all the way to giving my card details, which never happened on the Czech Railways site.)

Both Czech Railways and Czech Transport websites provide information on both trains and buses, often offering routes that are a combination of both.
