Getting Around in the Czech Republic

Getting into the Czech Republic is the easy part. Once inside the country you'll need a way to get between cities and into the countryside (that is, unless you plan on spending your entire trip in Prague). In this section you'll learn the most effective methods for negotiating the terrain.

Dulcinea's Insight

  • You can buy maps of the cities in the Czech Republic while you're there; sometimes hotels, hostels, or car rental companies will provide basic maps for free. If you'd like to take a look at a map before you go, you can always try Google Maps to get either a satellite image or a standard map of the country or city of your choice.
  • If you plan to spend a good deal of time traveling around the country, consider a rail pass from Czech Railways. Options include two-day, one-week, one-month, and three-month passes, and are great for travelers on a budget.
