Kharkiv–Prague coach: route, tickets and what to bring

The Kharkiv–Prague route is ideal for passengers wishing to travel to the Czech Republic by land. Your journey will be more relaxed if you compare options based on the full boarding address, journey time, changes and luggage conditions, rather than just the departure time.

How to compare journeys

Set a date on RedRay and view the details of each option. Check exactly where the coach departs from in Kharkiv, where it arrives in Prague, how many stops are planned and whether you’ll need to change coaches. If you’re planning to use other transport upon arrival, allow plenty of time.

Ticket and boarding

Once you’ve booked, check the passenger’s name, date, time and both addresses. Save your ticket on your phone and as an offline copy. Arrive early for boarding: finding the platform, dealing with luggage and checking the passenger list all take time.

Documents, border control and luggage

Keep your original documents in your hand luggage. Requirements vary depending on the passenger’s nationality and circumstances, so please check them on official websites. General preparation for travelling to the Czech Republic is described in the RedRay travel guide. Please check the specific carrier for luggage allowances and non-standard luggage.

Arrival in Prague

Make a note in advance of the Prague bus station from your ticket, a city map and the route to your accommodation. Check the operating hours of local transport, especially if you’re arriving early or late. The information on the next stage of your journey will help.

Before setting off

• double-check the timetable and platform;
• charge your phone and save your ticket offline;
• label your suitcase;
• pack some water, a snack and a warm layer of clothing.

The actual journey time depends on traffic and border controls, so don’t plan connections that are too tight.
