Trains from Prague to Munich

About the Prague to Munich train

Departures use Praha hlavní nádraží, the central station on the edge of the New Town. Before you search, settle the date and passengers and decide whether to book the Munich to Prague return at the same time; the page covers both legs, each with its own fares. The line runs west through Plzeň, the brewing city of western Bohemia, and climbs into the forested border hills before descending into Bavaria. On the German side it follows the Danube corridor past Regensburg and turns south across open farmland to Munich. The scenery is rural for much of the way, with villages, woods and river valleys rather than cities. München Hauptbahnhof lies just west of the old town; Marienplatz and the Frauenkirche are a walk east along the pedestrian streets, and the underground and suburban lines meet under the station. Munich is easy to read on foot: the old town inside the ring of its former walls, the museum quarter north of it around Königsplatz, Schwabing's cafés further on, and the Isar to the east. The hotels on this page show their distance from MUC, which lies well outside the city, so check that figure if you have an early flight.
