NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION
TRAIN (vlak)
The Czech national rail company, České dráhy (CD), is extensive and inexpensive, but often crowded. The fast trains stop at major cities; local trains stop everywhere; but usually provide only second-class service. All long-distance trains have two classes; some have dining carriages and overnight services. Reserve seats on express trains; don't rely on international trains having air conditioning: Phone:221 111 122. BUS (autobus) Inexpensive and popular with the Czechs. Reserve for weekends, national holidays or early morning. Tickets are purchased from the bus station kiosk or the driver. For information Phone:12 999 (daily 6 a.m.-9 p.m.). Large items of luggage will be stowed for a small charge. Trams (tramvaj) and buses are the best way to get around town. Euroline's buses connect to other countries: Phone:224 239 318. FERRY (prévos) From April to September boats cruise the Vltava river as far as Troja Château to the north of Prague and Slapy Dam to the south: Phone:224 930 017 or 224 931 013. |
