On the way to Prague
The collection of railway tours to Prague is very rich, but they are all divided into two main categories: with a transfer on a direct train and with a transfer in Brest to a bus. From Moscow to the Czech capital, the train No. 21 "Moscow-Prague" runs, it leaves at 7:30 from the Belorussky railway station and in 28 hours, at 9:47, arrives at Prague's railway station. For tourists, this schedule is very convenient, because they come to the city in the morning, have time to sleep well, and ahead of them there is a whole day of active excursions.
On the way, the train makes several long stops: in Vyazma it costs 23 minutes, in Minsk - 29 minutes, in Brest for the change of wheels and customs passing - 2 hours 35 minutes, the last long stop in Warsaw - 1 hour 20 minutes.
From St. Petersburg to Prague can be reached by train number 49, it leaves from Vitebsky station in the afternoon on Thursday, and in Prague it turns out in a day at 7:00.
