Train Stations

Czech Republic's rail network is one of Central Europe's most extensive, with CD (Ceske drahy) as the dominant operator. Prague is the hub, with connections to Brno (2h30m), Ostrava (3h), and Ceske Budejovice (2h30m) via IC and EC trains reaching up to 160 km/h on the main corridors. Private operator RegioJet (yellow trains) and Leo Express compete on key routes including Prague-Brno and Prague-Ostrava, offering modern coaches, onboard Wi-Fi, and competitive fares that have significantly reduced prices. Czech rail is a key transit corridor for international services: Prague sits on the Vienna-Dresden-Berlin axis and is served by EC and RJ trains to Vienna (4h), Berlin (4h), Budapest (7h), and Warsaw (7h). A new high-speed rail network (Vysoka rychlost zeleznice) connecting Prague to Brno, Ostrava, and Dresden is in planning, with first sections targeted for the 2030s. Currently, speeds on the main Prague-Brno corridor are being upgraded to 200 km/h. Tickets are available at cd.cz, the CD app, regiojet.cz, and leoexpress.cz. Czech domestic fares are affordable by Western European standards. The Na Ceste card offers unlimited domestic rail travel. Czech Republic is covered by Eurail/Interrail. The scenic Elbe River route from Prague to Dresden is a popular choice for travelers heading toward Germany.

Frequently Asked Questions

RegioJet (yellow trains) and Leo Express (blue trains) both operate Prague-Brno-Ostrava and some international routes. They offer modern coaches, steward service, Wi-Fi, and often lower fares than CD. RegioJet also operates Prague-Vienna and Prague-Budapest routes. All three operators are accessible via their respective apps.
Not yet in the dedicated HSR sense. Czech trains currently reach 160 km/h on the main Prague-Brno corridor. A new high-speed rail program is planned to connect Prague-Brno in under 1 hour (currently 2h30m) and link to Dresden and Vienna, with construction expected to begin in the late 2020s.
RJ (Railjet) trains operated by OBB and CD connect Praha-Hlavni nadrazi to Wien Hauptbahnhof in about 4 hours. Trains run multiple times daily. RegioJet also operates this route. Advance fares can be as low as EUR 15-20 if booked several weeks ahead.
The Elbe (Labe) River valley route from Prague north through Usti nad Labem and into Germany toward Dresden passes through the Bohemian Switzerland sandstone landscape and is particularly beautiful. The Sumava mountain railway from Plzen to Zelezna Ruda is another scenic highlight.
No. Eurail and Interrail passes are not valid on RegioJet or Leo Express. They cover only CD (Ceske drahy) trains. However, RegioJet and Leo Express fares are often very affordable without a pass. Check all three operators before booking.
