Why this connection

The city-to-city railway

Two capitals, one seat, and a train you would choose even if the flight were free.

In motion

The train behind the timetable

ComfortJet is the newest thing České dráhy runs; a fixed Škoda set with a driving trailer, proper first class, a restaurant car and an interior that finally matches what ÖBB and DB put on the same corridor.

The corridor

The route across the map

The timetable is the real argument: departures every two hours all day means you can decide over breakfast and still be in Vienna for a late lunch.

The published route runs from Prague to Vienna via Pardubice hlavní nádraží, Česká Třebová, Brno hlavní nádraží, Břeclav.
