It only took about 6 hours to go from Munich to Prague by train. It was a short planned trip, however everything went well. Prague has many historical buildings, therefore you can do many sightseeings there. We were there only for 2 days and could see most of the main tourism attractions. However if you want to enter the museums you might need more than just 2 days. The prices for food and hotel are almost the same like in Germany. No need to worry to get the "Koruna", because there are so many money changers everywhere.

The city of Prague

As long as you don't stay too far from the downtown, Prague has good transportation system. With the subway or tram you can easily reach the downtown area.

The best way to go from Munich to Prag with the train is to take the ALEX train. You don't need to change the train, just aware that from the border (Furth am Wald), the train code will change.

Das beste Möglichkeit aus München nach Prag zu fahren ist den ALEX Zug zu nehmen. Der Zug fährt direkt, aber ab Grenze (Furth am Wald) hat der Zug andere Zugnummer.

  That was the price for 4 Persons from Furth am Wald until Prague.

* You can buy the Czech's ticket in the train. Unlike in germany, they don't fine you for buying as long as you have the Bayern Ticket.
I paid with Koruna, but I saw the inspector having EURO.

* Ich konnte das Tschechische Bahn Fahrkarte im Zug bei dem Schaffner kaufen, ohne Zuzahlung oder sogar Bußgeld zu zahlen. Vorausgesetzt was das Bayern Tiket.
Ich habe mit Krone bezahlt, aber der Schaffner hat EURO auf dem Hand gehabt.
