Picture: Arrival at Prague main station.
I haven't been to Eastern Europe in ages and I felt it was time to visit it again. The first step in planning our holidays was to see if there are any good train connections. There is. An overnight train brings you in thirteen hours from Zurich to Prague via Vienna and Budapest. The train-ride is actually very enjoyable and relaxing and I got a good night's sleep. In contrast to the new double floor train coach I had from Vienna to Zurich, the old single floor coach from Zurich to Prague was more spacious and comfortable. We arrived in Prague at 11.40am well relaxed and right on time. Prague is a time-tested tourist destination and maneuvering across the Charles Bridge means dodging hundreds of school-children on school trips and dozens of street vendors. Prague offers amazing historical architecture combined with tourist contraptions one normally sees in Turkey or Italy, just at a higher price. No, Prague is not cheap anymore but still reasonably priced.
