Seconded! Highlights include the St. Wenceslav Cathedral and nearby History museum (not sure how accommodated they are for non-Czech speakers though). There is also Red Church, which is a great place to get a cup of coffee - it's and old church turned into a library
ČD is excellent. I recently did Dresden-Prague and Prague - Wien in 1st... excellent value for money and quite cheap dining cars... They're my favourite between DB, OBB and ČD
Prague->Wien is definitely one of the better routes, although there is still no cell reception or internet on half of the journey... ČD have improved a lot, but they are still being held down by the Czech car-centric government and their unwillingness to invest in anything rail-related for the past 50 years...
Train is comfy and attractive and I love the rotunda in the classic station in Prague. I rode a standard train from Vienna to Prague in 2009 when the statiion was still undergoing extensive restoration but I see they'd done a good job preserving this old masterpiece. Thanks for inviting us to ride with you on Czech's fast train dashing through the snow.
And there is complete renovation planned to begin in 2028 and end in 2030 - part of the entrance building will be demolished (an ugly communist one), stairs will be build to connect the bottom with the upper part, where these days an ugly parking space is located - this will be remodeled to a park with a bus station for few international buses, from there a crossing of the road to the main building will be done and lastfully the whole park will be remodeled with new buildings, trees, bushes and so on... It sounds trivial, but believe me, it's a long awaited renovation, done by architects..
@@NonstopEurotripI have visited Prague station as well and I love the historic part. But having said that, it really comes nowhere close to Antwerp(en) central station in Belgium, which can better be described as a basilica. I'm not even Belgian myself, but it's just so incredible stunning.
How did you do Vienna to Munich on ČD trains? There is no ČD train to Munich. The only "Czech" train to Munich is Alex, which is a total travesty... And it is so much faster to go via the westbahn corridor with ÖBB in their new railjets, than the 12hour trip via Prague with Alex...
I’d love to visit Prague and to visit the Shrine of the Little Infant of Prague - my Mum had a huge devotion to the Little Infant of Prague and had a statue, as it’s believed that you will never be short of money if you have the statue

Spent about a week in Czechia last October. Brno and then Prague. Can't really remember much about the trains, pretty standard were the ones I went on. Guards were all friendly. I do remember the train between Prague and Berlin travelling a beautiful area around the border. If people go to Prague, visit the Post Office for a unique experience 🤫
@@loser.czsksracky3507 Haha, I had no idea what I was doing. I quickly realised I had to take a ticket but had no idea what the numbers meant. I was in Prague only for a week and we English are not good at languages. I tried asking at a few unused counters but no one wanted to know. In the end a friendly security guard noticed me. He spoke a little English and helped me out.
When the Pendolinos were first delivered to Finland they (perhaps "it" because there might have been just one train to start with) were configured with 2+1 seating in both first class and second class, just with slightly more leg room in first class. Later trains had 2+2 in second class and the original coaches were also reconfigured to have 2+2 in second class.
Been on various trains in the Czech Rep. Prague to Kutna Hora and back in 2008. Prague to Dresden and back in 2008. Prague to Pilsen and back in 2020. Vienna to Prague in 2023 (ČD Railjet) Prague to Berlin in 2023 (MAV Hungaria service)
1:30 you stayed at Hotel Uno? :D Thank you for this amazing trip report of one of my absolutely favorite trains! Little correction, 6 of them are still in service, as one was rebuilt after a crash. Olomouc is a very pretty town. The old town does remind like a smaller Prague, I like it a lot!
I meant those rooms where there are cash registers, where there are waiting rooms... they are like churches with high domes. like this train station in Prague.
@@bazinga378 And there is a major renovation planned for 2028-2030 - I would recommend to wait till it's done, as it will be thousand times better and prettier...
One train was destroyed by polish truck driver who stopped between barriers on a crossing, I think 3 people died and the train driver lost his legs. Otherwise, it is very nice after the interior remodel. Even before it was nice. I like how it leans to curves. I have traveled with it many thousand km between Prague and Ostrava. Best experience is, when its empty. Friday afternoon is always full though. Used to travel in first class for 300czk with a student card, happy days. But now the service is better because of competition, you have power sockets and wifi, also you can order very good svíčková or goulash, or schnitzel for a reasonable price, and you dont have to get up from your seat, you order online and they will bring it. Pancakes are also good. Oh yeah, from the beginning, there was 2 first class coaches, they were almost empty most of the time. Before the remodel, they changed one of them into silent section, but second class. If you knew, you could ride the first class coach with bigger seats, but with a second class ticket,
Probably I am among the very few of those who have been to Slovakia but not Czech Republic 😂 I would love to do this train though. Probably get off somewhere along the middle and spend a few days, and taking the same train and eventually go to Košice (which I love so much)
There are two more historical things you could have mentioned about the Prague main station. There is a bust in the concourse about the original name of the station. Back in the days of the First republic, Prague main station was called Prague Wilson station (yep. Woodrow Wilson). The other thing you could have checked out, is memorial to survivors of Holocaust and their savior, sir Nicholas Winton on the first platform, down in direction Dobříš (I believe that's south). Next time, you'll show up around, take a classic old school fast trains. I actually think them superior, even if run down.
Well, I have actually been to Olomouc and I'd recommend it any time. Didn't spend too much time there though as it was a concert tour with the Leipzig (Germany) University Choir. But what I saw of the city was pretty nice. The high point was our concert in the cathedral. Now I'm not a religious person in any way but somehow this cathedral and the music we were singing and the catholic mass that was going on created a quite impressive spiritual atmosphere I hadn't experienced before or since.
Ahoj. Thx for video. I went with it once and economy already felt like business compared to even railjet economy. Both are good trains, but Pendolino despite its age feels more premium and faster. Pardubice has a new station and Olomouc is worth a historical visit too. Nice landscape.
I love the pendolino. But I don't ride it much. It's a lot more expensive than the other trains. Now, you've seen the best of the czech railway network, try Arriva's "limetky", Regiojet's R23 line in the old coaches, R19 in the old coaches and RegioNovas. You'll have a great time :D

If you point out shops in the train station, it would always be good to give a sense of price. Same price as elsewhere? 10% more? 100% more? 1000% more? This would help us make decisions about where and how to shop for snacks and souvenirs.
as a person living in Romania, I simply cannot compare the services presented here to the ones we have in the home-country. Suffice to say, a trip between Timisoara and Bucharest, of ~660 km, takes about 13 hours... 13 HOURS!!!!
Sorry but you can really not compare perfect train infrastructure, train stations and trains in The Czech Republic with Romania... Czech republic is currently living its railway revolution of replacing older train for brand new train units and brand new long distance trains (locos, wagons) - for example this year will be launche another 110 regional train units - RegioPanters (electric Czech made) and RegioFoxes (diesl Polish made) and 20 - nine-car ComfortJets for international long distances only by national operator ČD (České Dráhy) . similar to those domestic long distance InterJets- lanched in 2023 - but Comfortjets will have also restaurant car. You as aromanin will be abble to see them in Budapest, HU. Many new train units will be launched by private operatosrs.. to be more avare of our perfect trains - see videos about this trains: Pendolino (this video) RailJet InterJet ComfotJet (this year) RegioPanter / InterPanter-trans regional longer version RegioFox RegioShark RegioSpider PESA ELF (RegioJet) STADLER GTW Regarding Train Stations: Praha Hlavní Nádraží Plzeň Hlavní Nádraží České Budějovice Hlavní Nádraží Teplice v Čechách and many-many-many more
@@NonstopEurotrip it is. and the fact that some EU policies for the green-deal limit travel while not pushing a real development on other fronts... is a real bummer
You had a good taste with trains. You must be a railfan. Anyways, if you made a slip by recording the windows, who knows you might show a reflection of yourself.😅
The train has top speed of 230km/h. But its service speed is only 160km/h as there are no tracks where it can go faster. Because theres no official part of track going above 160. Which is why outside of International (eurocity) the trains are usually hauled by trains that have top speed of 160km/h Also the train you took is the Morning Supercity (Eurocity) called "Pendolino Košičan" It follows the base Pendolino timetable of Prague - Liben - (Kolín) - Pardubice - (Česká Třebová) - Olomouc - Svinov - Ostrava - (Train continues as SEC to Košice) Cities in brackets () are intermediate stops Košičan makes otherwise the regular Supercity between Prague - Ostrava passes them with no stop. Currently Pendolino trains are replaced by EC (IC class) trains, however its still mandatory seat reservation (Commercial) train.
Nice video, my home country, yay! Pendolinos will be around for a long long time. They are equipping them with an ETCS for a crazy amount of money right now so I bet that they will use them to their full potential as airlines use their planes. In Czechia I recommend to visit the Plum railway. It connects Litomerice (very nice town) with Most (perhaps the ugliest city there is) and it´s ran by an operator AZD, which is a major supplier of railway technologies and security devices and they run their own trains on their own railway line equipped with the latest technologies between these two cities under a public obligation. So it´s very bizzare that a private company can run their private trains for a public money and use the railway as a showroom for their products. Also there is a catering onboard during weekends in these tiny DMUs and a free hot drink or a plum brandy included in the ticket price which is like 2 Euros. The railway also runs through a pretty valley of Central Highlands. And for train enthusiasists there are connecting Interjets trains at Most, bizzare old DMUs to Pilsen and the infamous CRRC Sirius sets at the other side at Litomerice.
Is it an idea actually to ask with trainrides like this one if the coffee cart also offers usb cable's/bricks? Knowing technoligy has come quite far thus i feel like in this time we live in it should be asked at least i would give it perhaps a decade(maybe more) before i feel like it should be a normal thing for these things to be at least cheap ones to be available. Knowing smartphones are common already thus i feel like it should become a thing in the future..
If you are coming to Prague via train, you can ask the train conductor for a day ticket for Prague public transport and it costs only 70 or 75 czk, which is about 3€. It’s valid together with your train ticket.
Some of the information is really quite misleading... There is no "free food". You get a bottle of water and "free on-seat delivery". The food isn't expensive per se, and is quite good, but it definitely isn't complimentary. The track speed anywhere within the country is limited at 160km/h, so the 200km design speed is just a dream. The Pendolino is a nice train, but it tends to be a lot more expensive than other trains on the same route, and it is only some 20 minutes faster.
I believe its 6 operational, 7th car was decomissioned only 5 cars of the 7th car are operational. Pendolino as Supercity or category of its own seems to be immune to "Najbrt" or ČD corporate design.
There is no standardized European plug. In the video you see the type E (F/CZ/B/SK/PL). As German/Austrian you will have the type F at home. Both are very compatible. Plugs for E+F are made nowadays as „type E+F“ to work universally. This is the most common type in Europe. There is also a Europlug or „type c“, the slim one you will know from your phone charger. It doesn’t have the earthing (Schutzleiter) and is only for lower energy appliances.
This video reminds me why I like Kuga and “Simply” so much: NO idiot music, NO talking and JUST text plus video. You really have terrible taste in “music”: so annoying and unnecessary that it ruins what you are trying to do. Emulate those who are more successful. This was unwatchable.
Day by day decline?? We, the Czech republic, have grown from 9,7 million in 1998 to almost 11 million in 2024... And we have the highest birth rate in the EU, 1,72 kids per woman.. There are countries suffering from population decline, but certainly not the Czech republic..
@@viktornovomestsky3999 That is the other point that I forgot to make, the Czech Republic is not declining in overall population (entierly thanks to immigration but that doenst make youre argument not correct). Some countris like bulgaria, Moldova and a few more bolkan nations of which I dont know the statistics are dropping population (in the case of Bulgaria its been bleeding people since the revolution (early 90s i think)). So generalizing from a small-ish number of shrinking nations to the whole of europe is something i would no deem correct (like anyone cars what I think lol). Aaaalso i dont wanna come of like some sort of EU lover - this place has A LOT of problems but large scale pop. drop aint one of em.

Anyways, if you made a slip by recording the windows, who knows you might show a reflection of yourself.😅
Face reveal 😂
Another fantastic video! Enjoy your break! 😊
Thank you! 😃
The train has top speed of 230km/h. But its service speed is only 160km/h as there are no tracks where it can go faster. Because theres no official part of track going above 160.
Which is why outside of International (eurocity) the trains are usually hauled by trains that have top speed of 160km/h
Also the train you took is the Morning Supercity (Eurocity) called "Pendolino Košičan"
It follows the base Pendolino timetable of Prague - Liben - (Kolín) - Pardubice - (Česká Třebová) - Olomouc - Svinov - Ostrava - (Train continues as SEC to Košice)
Cities in brackets () are intermediate stops Košičan makes otherwise the regular Supercity between Prague - Ostrava passes them with no stop.
Currently Pendolino trains are replaced by EC (IC class) trains, however its still mandatory seat reservation (Commercial) train.
Nice video, my home country, yay! Pendolinos will be around for a long long time. They are equipping them with an ETCS for a crazy amount of money right now so I bet that they will use them to their full potential as airlines use their planes.
In Czechia I recommend to visit the Plum railway. It connects Litomerice (very nice town) with Most (perhaps the ugliest city there is) and it´s ran by an operator AZD, which is a major supplier of railway technologies and security devices and they run their own trains on their own railway line equipped with the latest technologies between these two cities under a public obligation. So it´s very bizzare that a private company can run their private trains for a public money and use the railway as a showroom for their products. Also there is a catering onboard during weekends in these tiny DMUs and a free hot drink or a plum brandy included in the ticket price which is like 2 Euros. The railway also runs through a pretty valley of Central Highlands. And for train enthusiasists there are connecting Interjets trains at Most, bizzare old DMUs to Pilsen and the infamous CRRC Sirius sets at the other side at Litomerice.
That's great to hear, and thanks for the information 😊
Is it an idea actually to ask with trainrides like this one if the coffee cart also offers usb cable's/bricks?
Knowing technoligy has come quite far thus i feel like in this time we live in it should be asked at least i would give it perhaps a decade(maybe more) before i feel like it should be a normal thing for these things to be at least cheap ones to be available.
Knowing smartphones are common already thus i feel like it should become a thing in the future..
They don't afaik
@@NonstopEurotrip afaik?
1st class seats are the same as in RailJet
That was awesome 👍.
Thanks 👍
Can you please do a review on Shinkansen bullet trains? And/or ScotRail class 380, I suggest going to Largs it’s a lovely seaside town
Shinkansen already done 👍🏻
@@NonstopEurotrip okay, I’ll check that video out
If you are coming to Prague via train, you can ask the train conductor for a day ticket for Prague public transport and it costs only 70 or 75 czk, which is about 3€. It’s valid together with your train ticket.
Thanks for the tips 😄
Enjoy your holiday!
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Bom dia boa viagem trem lindo boa sexta
I thought that at some point, you would say "Guys, I don't mean to Prague, but look what I did..." haha
😂😂😂
Some of the information is really quite misleading... There is no "free food". You get a bottle of water and "free on-seat delivery". The food isn't expensive per se, and is quite good, but it definitely isn't complimentary. The track speed anywhere within the country is limited at 160km/h, so the 200km design speed is just a dream. The Pendolino is a nice train, but it tends to be a lot more expensive than other trains on the same route, and it is only some 20 minutes faster.
It IS complimentary in first class, as stated in the video.
Nice enough video, but what was UNIQUE about the 2+1 seating?
Unique is that 2+1 seating is also in second class...
Everything
I believe its 6 operational, 7th car was decomissioned only 5 cars of the 7th car are operational.
Pendolino as Supercity or category of its own seems to be immune to "Najbrt" or ČD corporate design.
Hm the plug doenst look to me like "standard" European. I have way diffrent plugs in my home
There is no standardized European plug. In the video you see the type E (F/CZ/B/SK/PL). As German/Austrian you will have the type F at home. Both are very compatible. Plugs for E+F are made nowadays as „type E+F“ to work universally. This is the most common type in Europe. There is also a Europlug or „type c“, the slim one you will know from your phone charger. It doesn’t have the earthing (Schutzleiter) and is only for lower energy appliances.
Well my standard European adapter worked
Come to Canada.
old November video that's why's there's snow lol
As mentioned right at the start
In Poland class ED250.
Different train
They could dim those harsh bright lights.
Yes they could!
Are you the same person that does Superalbs Travels?
Both channels seem very similar, including the narration, language, style etc.
No
Bro, can I make a request? Can you make a video of the journey from Fiumicino aeroporto station to Torino porta nuova station by train?
Maybe one day!
The train of Casino Royale!
and Wanted (2008)
It sure is!
I live in 🇨🇿♥️
hehe czeching
Hehe 😅

You misspelled! The correct word spell is "UNIQUE".
BBC.
Shocking at how there's only 1 wheelchair space for the whole train!
For when the train was built, it's good that there's any;
Why would anyone pay to see someone else travel?
For the same reason that some people pay for watching sports even though they themselves can run, kick a ball or drive a car.
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel by commenting 😄
One wheelchair space per whole train is somewhat evil.
Better than none!
Leo express is even better.
Could well be 👀
unqiue
This video reminds me why I like Kuga and “Simply” so much: NO idiot music, NO talking and JUST text plus video. You really have terrible taste in “music”: so annoying and unnecessary that it ruins what you are trying to do. Emulate those who are more successful. This was unwatchable.
I'm good thanks. It would be boring if everyone was the same. 2000 comments a month and yours is the only one saying this 😁
I love European country but why there population day by day decline..
Viděls kolik stojí obyvatelnej byt do kterýho se vejde víc než jednolůžková postel?
And yes the language is a joke (in that it isnt english).
Day by day decline?? We, the Czech republic, have grown from 9,7 million in 1998 to almost 11 million in 2024...
And we have the highest birth rate in the EU, 1,72 kids per woman..
There are countries suffering from population decline, but certainly not the Czech republic..
@@viktornovomestsky3999 That is the other point that I forgot to make, the Czech Republic is not declining in overall population (entierly thanks to immigration but that doenst make youre argument not correct).
Some countris like bulgaria, Moldova and a few more bolkan nations of which I dont know the statistics are dropping population (in the case of Bulgaria its been bleeding people since the revolution (early 90s i think)).
So generalizing from a small-ish number of shrinking nations to the whole of europe is something i would no deem correct (like anyone cars what I think lol).
Aaaalso i dont wanna come of like some sort of EU lover - this place has A LOT of problems but large scale pop. drop aint one of em.
Not true.
Praha smrdí víc než Lagos a Conakry dohromady.
Jo a ty Pardubice - Kuňka, reálně? To je ta nejzajímavější věc v okolí? I to funkcionalistický nádraží je víc cool než nějakej smradlavej hrad.
Aside from that a high quality video.
Interesting
@@NonstopEurotrip Ye Prague smells.
once rode a train and I almost fell when I got off the train
Oh no!!!
