Trains from Vienna to Prague
Prague is the destination here: the castle on its hill, the Charles Bridge over the Vltava, the Old Town Square and the beer. From Vienna the train heads north across Lower Austria and Moravia, crossing the border into the Czech Republic, and it is a standard leg of a central European circuit, used by holidaymakers, by people on business, and by anyone continuing to Berlin or Munich afterwards. The border makes it international: bring the ID the rail operator asks for and check the entry rules for your passport in advance.

About the Vienna to Prague train
Wien Hauptbahnhof is the departure point, south of the centre; the search needs your date and passengers, and you can add Prague to Vienna for the return at the same time, since both legs are covered here. North of Vienna the line passes through the Weinviertel's vineyards and crosses into Moravia, running through Brno, the Moravian capital, before climbing into the highlands and descending to Prague. You arrive at Praha hlavní nádraží, on the eastern edge of the New Town, with Wenceslas Square a walk away and a metro line below the concourse. Prague is split by the Vltava: the Old Town, the Jewish quarter and the New Town on the east bank; the castle, St Vitus cathedral and the Lesser Town on the west, linked by the Charles Bridge. Most sights are within walking range of the centre, and the tram network covers the rest. The hotels on this page lie across both banks and show their distance from PRG, the airport west of the city, and a Czech Republic eSIM can be added for the stay.
