Vienna and Prague

Vienna to Prague direct rail trip with sightseeing passes in both cities

Railbookers operates this 5-day, 4-night independent rail vacation from Vienna to Prague. The trip opens with two nights in Vienna: day 1 leaves time to explore the Opera House and Vienna's grand architecture, with a stop for Sachertorte, while day 2 offers a choice between a guided Schönbrunn Palace tour, the Schönbrunn Zoo, or the included hop-on hop-off tour. On day 3, a direct train carries travelers to Prague, the City of a Hundred Spires, where the Jewish Quarter, Prague Castle, and a Vltava River cruise are all options for the afternoon. Day 4 continues in Prague with visits to the Astronomical Clock Tower, the New Town Hall, and the Baroque Library and Mirror Chapel, before the trip ends on day 5. A Vienna sightseeing pass and a Prague hop-on hop-off pass are included throughout, so most of the day-to-day exploring is self-directed rather than guided. This suits independent travelers who want two classic Central European capitals connected by a single direct train.

Price history

Across 4 checks, this price has fallen US$100 since 4 Jul, to US$499.

Each point is a day we checked this operator's own page, not a weekly average, and the line holds flat between checks rather than guessing at movement we did not see. 3 of 4 points are a live read of the operator's page. Hollow points are values shown when the trip was first listed here and never confirmed with the operator.

One reading is held out of the price above and this history: a doubtful read. We only price on the operator's package from-price, read from its own page.
