Prague to Cesky krumlov to Viennaadvice needed
My plan for our October trip had been to fly into Prague and fly out of Vienna. This is a one week trip. I had thought about a day trio to Cesky while in Prague. As I look at a map I am wondering if it may be more time and cost efficient to plan to drive to Vienna in a rented car with an overnight in Cesky. The car is $340, but by the time i'd pay for a train and a day trip the car may be less costly. What do experienced CZ travelers think? Any ideas on a hotel in Cesky?? Any help wpuld be great.

I do this routing a couple times every year. Take the train!
Take the train (every two hours) from Prague to Ceske Budejovice (this is where I stay, actually). There is a small local train line from CB to Cesky Krumlov. Spend the night here, which gives you a full day in CK. You can also take a bus from Florenc station in Prague to CK, but I prefer the train. Then when you are ready to go to Vienna, take the local train line back to Ceske Budejovice and change to a train to Vienna. There are a couple direct trains from CB to Vienna, or you can also change trains at the border (Ceske Velenice/Gmund), which is very easy. It depends on when during the day you travel. You can also go from CB via Linz to Vienna, but that is more expensive and longer. |
Castleblanca - thank you, that is very helpful. Is there a web site that I can check the local train schedules between CB and CK?

Seafox: I normally use www.db.de for all train schedules in Europe.
