Is it possible to take a train from Florence or Bologna to Prague? Is there more than one type of train? What is the cost and how long is the trip? I went to several Italian train sites but couldn't find any that travelled out of the country. Thanks

It's possible, but it is apparently not easy. Looks like 17 hours or so. Don't know how much it costs.

Hi P,

www.railsaver.com says it's $120 for Florence to Prague in 2 cl.

It will be more if you want a sleeper berth.

There are no direct trains. It will take you about 17 hr.

I think you can take a train anywhere that there is a train station, and these cities certainly have one. Whether the route is convenient, and how much time it takes with transfers, its another story. I don't know how those websites will figure the route for you, but I think the most direct route would be Florence/Bologna to Munich and then Munich to Prague, if you want to split it up when searching.

Thank you for the info. After hearing how long the trip would be I found a flight that's only about $250 and two hours. Well worth it. I had no idea how long the train trip would be.
