How to travel from Prague to Vienna. How to get to Vienna from Prague. Where is the Student Agency bus stop in Vienna

Consider options for how to get from Prague to Vienna or vice versa: bus, train and ... plane!

The distance between cities is 330 km. Travel time is about 5 hours. Let's look at a few options:

Consider all options. Personally, I prefer the Student Agency bus.

Flixbus from €14!

A new player in this direction, so for now quite favorable rates are about €15. Travels very often. It departs from Prague from the Florenc bus station and arrives in the center of Vienna at the Stadion or Erdberg (VIB) station. In this direction, Student Agency and Eurolines sell tickets sometimes cheaper than the original. So check prices here first.

Bus Prague – Vienna Student Agency
(The best option!)

Now about the price. Ticket price for 2014 Student Agency one way is 460 CZK (€17). You can save money by buying a ticket well in advance on the Internet and immediately in both directions. Tickets are on sale at. After paying with a card, they need to be printed or shown when landing from the mobile screen.

The Student Agency bus calls in Brno, at the Vienna airport, and then in Vienna itself at the Stadion metro station.

Travel time is about 5 hours to the center of Vienna.

The simplest and most reliable means of transportation is. The ticket price is around 540 CZK (1000 rubles). Not cheap. But if you book round-trip tickets, you will get good savings. The most suitable train is "Dvorak". The train leaves Prague at 4-39. Arrives in Vienna at 9-30. A round trip ticket will cost 32 euro. A very comfortable train. You arrive in Vienna and you have a whole day ahead of you.

Many tourists, in order to save on hotels, choose their route so that the move would be at night, there is a train from Vienna. But there is practically no night train from Prague. At least there is a trailer car Bratslav – Vienna. But so far no one has been able to buy a ticket for it via the Internet. Just some kind of ghost. But I do not advise you to go on such a train at night. Sitting in a chair from one in the morning until five in the morning is not the best way to travel. Especially since there are no savings. Imagine that you didn't sleep well all night. I do not think that in Vienna you will be interested and well.

Let's summarize the trains:

• Check out the train and bus timetables
• Buying a train ticket Prague - Vienna
• If it doesn't work, then on the Austrian site

Plane Prague - Vienna (Bad option)

We will not consider a flight from Prague to Vienna - the flight, the road to the airports, waiting for boarding, the price is €320!

As they say, the question is over. Even wealthy travelers traveling with spouses and children, having estimated the cost of a family flight, are more likely to hire a good car with a driver. And they will go, as they say, with style and breeze. It will still be cheaper.

Prague - Vienna by car

Here we come to one of the possibilities of travel. If you are traveling with a company of six or seven people, then you should think about renting a minivan. It will cost you somewhere within 120-130 euros. Gasoline you will use the maximum for 200 euros. Plus different payments for travel on the highway, etc. In general, everything will cost around 350 euros. But what is attractive about this type of movement. The most important thing is that you are not tied to public transport. Wherever you want, go there. There is no need to pay for city transport in Vienna. You can choose from the map what you are going to visit and leave at the most convenient time for you. If you take a car for more than one day, I advise you to diversify your trip by visiting

The distance between the Czech and Austrian capitals is 330 km. For tourists, this is an opportunity to visit different cities during one vacation. For residents of the Czech Republic - a change of scenery for the weekend without tedious travel. You can get to Vienna from Prague by any transport, and we will talk about this now.

By car, it is most profitable to travel to Vienna with a company. If you have personal transport, then you will only need to pay for fuel, travel on highways and parking. But on the way, you can stop by Brno and look at the Moravian sights. For example, many people like to visit the Moravian Karst. In general, the road from Prague to Vienna by car will take about 4 hours. It all depends on your speed and plans.

A confident driver will spend approximately 4 hours on the road if he takes a short road. The distance between Vienna and Prague is 292 km, if you choose the best route: along the highways E50 and E59 through the cities of Jihlava and Znojmo.

Now we need to calculate the fuel consumption. For a liter of gasoline in the Czech Republic, you will have to pay 1.29 euros, diesel costs a little cheaper - 1.25 euros. On average, 9 liters of fuel are needed per 100 km. This means that you will need at least 30 liters of gasoline for the whole journey for a total of 35 euros. And that's just one way. Therefore, in order to complete the route by car, you will have to spend at least 70 euros on fuel alone.

There are several tolls along the way. For this reason, emphasize at the rental office that you are going to Austria, so you need a car with a vignette that gives you the right to drive on toll motorways. Otherwise, you will have to buy a sticker with a minimum validity period at gas stations.

The cost of the sticker in 2019 is 9 euros for 10 days. If you are caught on the motorways of Austria without a vignette, the fine will be 120 euros if paid on the spot. The sticker must not be re-glued or mechanically damaged, otherwise such actions will be considered as fraud, which will entail a fine of 240 euros.

However, the first thing you need to do is rent a car. The minimum average price per day of rental is 30 euros. The price includes taxes, vignette (if requested by the customer), Schengen visa insurance and navigational equipment. When concluding a contract, a client may be charged a deposit of 370 euros or more - it depends on the rules of the company. Some distributors arrange a weekend promotion, making discounts on rentals from Friday to Monday.

When concluding a contract, be sure to inform that you are going to cross the border by car: an additional fee may be required. Specify if there are any restrictions and how many kilometers the mileage should be.

You can rent a car at a rental company, such as czech.myrentacar.com, or at the airport. Rental offices are usually located in the city center.

Summarize

The Czech Republic and Austria are neighboring countries, so many tourists take the opportunity to visit both states at once. Transport links between Prague and Vienna are well established, so getting from one capital to another ground transport can be done in 4 hours on average.

To save on accommodation, travelers take the night train.

Those who do not want to spend time on the road choose air travel.

Lovers of complete freedom rent a car in order to have time to see all the main sights of Vienna in one day and not depend on the schedule of municipal transport.

With a minimal financial investment, but in comfortable conditions, you can travel by bus or train. A large number of flights during the day with a small interval will allow each tourist to choose the right time.
