When travelling between Prague and Vienna, it is worth comparing specific offers without confusing the train operator with the ticket seller. A comfortable seat and travel conditions may be more important than a small difference in price.
Before you buy
Check the available route with the specified operator, such as ČD, ÖBB or RegioJet, and the exact stations. Do not assume that tickets from different companies are interchangeable. If you choose Railjet, check the class and seat reservation details on your booking.
On the day of travel
Upon arrival in Vienna, allow time for your journey into the city. If you’re planning to catch another train, check your connection times and the validity of your tickets. When returning from an evening event, check the journey time back to the station, not just the end time of the programme.
Checking your ticket
Once you’ve booked, check the passenger details, date, stations and all included sections. Save a complete copy of your ticket offline. Prices and timetables in this guide are not fixed: you’ll need to check the current options with the operator for your specific date.
