Czech Republic by Train: Book Your Czech Rail Holiday!
The Czech Republic is a great destination to explore on a rail holiday, with trains taking you wherever you want to go.
Prague is obviously the first place that comes to mind when planning a trip to the Czech Republic, and this stunning historic city is a must-see destination on any rail holiday in Central Europe.
However, there is so much more to discover in the Czech Republic beyond Prague!
On a rail holiday in the Czech Republic, you could also explore wonderful cities such as Brno and Olomouc, trace the origins of pilsner beer in Plzeň (Pilsen) and České Budějovice (Budweis), or travel by train to picturesque towns such as Kutná Hora and Český Krumlov.
The Czech Republic isn’t just a great country for city breaks, as it also has some beautiful natural scenery, including Bohemian Switzerland National Park, conveniently located near the Prague–Dresden–Berlin railway line, and the Giant Mountains (Krkonoše).
Travelling on the excellent trains of national Czech operator České dráhy (ČD), you can stop to visit castles such as Karlštejn and Konopiště, or soak up the charm of historic spa towns such as Karlovy Vary and Mariánské Lázně.
Whether you want to explore the Czech Republic in depth, enjoy a short city break in Prague, or combine Czechia with other countries on a grand tour of Central Europe, there is always a rail holiday for you!

Customise your rail holiday
Byway’s Czech rail holiday packages can be adjusted to fit your specific wishes, including the accommodation you want to stay in and the places you want to visit on your trip.
Want to spend more time in Karlovy Vary rather than Prague? Add an extra stop in Pardubice or Tabor? Perhaps you would like to travel at a slower pace and visit smaller towns such as Mělník in Bohemia, or Znojmo in Moravia, where you can visit the vineyards and sample local wines? It’s all possible!
Byway can help you arrange an itinerary suited to your interests. Contact Byway via email, telephone or WhatsApp to discuss your trip plans with its travel specialists. They can help you put together your ideal Czech train holiday and answer any questions you may have.

Should a train be delayed or cancelled and your travel plans be affected, you can rely on a dedicated out-of-hours emergency line for advice and assistance with rebooking.This service is included in the cost of your rail holiday package.
Combine the Czech Republic with other countries!
You can begin your Czech rail holiday at your local railway station, or at any other station in the UK or Europe if you prefer.
Travelling from the UK to the Czech Republic, you usually start your journey by taking the Eurostar high-speed train from London to France or Belgium, making Paris or Brussels great stopover points on your way to Central Europe. Your journey then continues through Germany towards the Czech Republic, giving you plenty of opportunities to make further stopovers in exciting cities such as Munich, Nuremberg, Berlin or Dresden.
Some of Byway’s rail holiday packages include the Czech Republic as part of a wider Central European train journey, taking you to destinations such as Vienna in Austria, Budapest in Hungary, or Kraków in Poland. The Czech Republic also pairs naturally with Slovakia, so why not include Bratislava or the Tatra Mountains on your rail holiday!
Many of these packages also feature scenic train routes on the way to the Czech Republic, such as the wonderful journey through the Elbe Valley on the Dresden–Prague railway line. You could even take a more southerly route if you want mountain scenery on your way, travelling along the spine of the Alps to Salzburg or Vienna before crossing the border into the Czech Republic.
The great thing about Byway’s rail holidays is that they can be entirely tailored to your wishes, including the exact route you want to take and the places where you may want to stop over along the way. If you prefer to reach the Czech Republic by train as quickly as possible, without any stopovers, that is also an option, of course.
Again, the choice is entirely yours!
