Trains
The Czech Republic has one of the most comprehensive rail networks in Europe. Czech Railways (Ceske drahy or CD), run two main types of trains : rychlik trains are faster, stopping only at major towns, while osobni trains stop at just about every station and stagger along as slowly as 30kph. In addition, there are InterCity (IC), and EuroCity (EC) expresses, for which you must pay a supplement. Tickets ( jizdenky ) for domestic journeys can be bought at the station ( nadrazi ) before or on the day of departure. Fares are still cheap - a second-class single from Prague to Brno costs around GBP9/$13 - but they're rising. CD runs reasonably priced sleepers to and from a number of cities in neighbouring countries. You must, however, book as far in advance as possible and in any case no later than six hours before departure. InterRail passes are valid; Eurail passes are not.
