Prague and Berlin from Passau

5-day independent rail trip from Passau to Prague and Berlin

Illustration of Prague and Berlin from Passau

Railbookers operates this independent rail vacation from Passau to Berlin, spending two nights each in Prague and Berlin over 5 days and 4 nights. Standard-class Deutsche Bahn trains cover the whole route, starting with the direct train from Passau to Prague and continuing from Prague to Berlin through Dresden. On arrival in Prague, travelers check into their hotel and can stroll the UNESCO World Heritage historic center, taking in its Art Nouveau, Renaissance, and Neo-Classical architecture, before joining a walking food tour on day 2 that samples hams, sausages, soups, and knedliky dumplings with Czech beer. Two nights in Berlin follow, where a Berlin Pass covers sights including the Pergamon Museum, and a self-guided walk down Unter den Linden takes in the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag, and the Tiergarten. This short, two-city trip suits travelers who want pre-booked trains and hotels but prefer to explore Prague and Berlin at their own pace.
