Trains from Munich to Prague
Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, is reached from Munich by crossing from Bavaria into Bohemia over the wooded hills along the border, then running down through the Czech countryside to the Vltava. The route joins a Bavarian city of beer halls and baroque churches with a city of spires, a castle on the hill and a bridge of statues across the river. It is a border crossing between countries with different languages, and it is taken for city breaks, for family visits and for the long loop through central Europe by rail.

About the Munich to Prague train
Munich Hauptbahnhof is on the west side of the centre, with Marienplatz a walk or a short ride away by suburban train, and it is the departure for Prague. A border is crossed, so bring the ID the operator asks for, then look at the Czech Republic's entry rules for your passport before you set off. The reverse, Prague to Munich, is covered here, so the return is its own search when you have a date for it. Praha hlavní nádraží, the city's central station, is a short walk east of Wenceslas Square and the New Town, with the Old Town Square, the astronomical clock and the Charles Bridge beyond. Across the river the castle and St Vitus cathedral stand above Malá Strana, the district of palaces and gardens on the slope. The metro and trams run from the station to each quarter. Prague has a deep catalogue of hotels and this page shows only a sample; the search opens it by district and rating. Stay in the Old Town or Malá Strana to be inside the sights, or around the station and the New Town for a stay with trains in mind.
