The company Euro Lines serves several cities in the Czech Republic. The Student Agency company also offers trips to several European cities.

However, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that it is necessary to purchase a coupon (coupon) for the use of the main highways (highways).

By train/train

The railway network in the Czech Republic is quite extensive, and it is possible to travel to practically all cities by train. When using public transport in the Czech Republic, pay attention to the fact that there are no ticket offices at metro stations, no ticket collectors on buses, as well as no turnstiles and controls on trams, subways and buses. Therefore, you must purchase your ticket *before* boarding the transport.

Speak

A good number of older people can communicate in German, while most young people can communicate in English. Therefore, your trip to the Czech Republic should not be a problem if you speak any of these languages.
