Czech tours on the train invariably find their admirers, in spite of the fact that between Russia and the Czech Republic there is an excellent aviation communication. Fans of rail travel are incorrigible romantics, for whom it is a real pleasure to watch the world flickering outside the window of the car, to look at Belarusian and Polish landscapes, gradually approaching the purpose of travel.
On the nuances of railway tours to the Czech Republic
Train No. 21 "Moscow-Prague" departs from the Belorussky railway station every day at 23:44. Meeting tourists with a guide usually takes place on the platform, at the main board with a timetable of trains. Passport and customs control is carried out directly on the train, during the parking in Brest (approximately from 14:00 to 17:00).
35-36 hours after departure, the train arrives at Prague's central railway station (after crossing the Russian border the train is broken up into wagons following to Prague and to Karlovy Vary).
Coupe first and second class in Czech trains are the same, the difference consists only in the number of passengers .In each compartment of the second class there are three people traveling, and since the regiments are located on one side in three tiers, it will be possible to sit only in their folded condition .In a compartment of the first class two tickets are sold, with a folded middle shelf for passengers will be noticeably more comfortable .The dignity of the cars is that they are designed for long journeys, and the seats in the compartment are very soft .In addition, in each compartment there is a table-transformer, behind which the sink hides .
By the way, do not expect that traveling by train will be more economical than an airplane. As practice shows, if you manage to catch inexpensive tickets, then the benefit turns out to be minimal.
