Arrival - Inscriptions of Prague
Prague (Prag, Praga, Praha) is one of the most ancient cultural centers of Europe, where Slavonic, Jewish, and German populations and ideas were sometimes living next to one another, sometimes being amalgamated, and sometimes braving one another in some sort of productive effervescence for many centuries. Even the Religious Wars and the struggle against the long-lasting Austrian domination did not succeed in putting an end to this. It was not until the madness of Nazism that things literally exploded. During the four decades of Cold War, things were lying in ruins for want of people willing to reconstruct, but since the Big Change whole Europe is trying to repair the damages…

Arrival by Public Transport
From the United Kingdom, all railroad lines to Prague go by Germany and in many cases demand one or more changes in Cologne (Köln), Francfort (Frankfurt/Main), Nuremberg (Nürnberg), or Munich (München).
For farther destinations, there is an international airport in Prague.
In Prague, you do not need a car, thanks to the very dense and efficient underground, streetcar, and bus net. Even late in the night, many lines are still in service.
Indications concerning public transport correspond to our personal knowledge or even experience, but we cannot assume any responsibility as for their rightness. When you are reading this page, things may have changed in reality.
For more information, see the on-line service, e.g., of the SNCF or the Deutsche Bahn (each site having advantages and disadvantages).
