Questions et réponses sur le voyage de Vienna à Prague
Is Prague safe at night?
Prague is incredibly safe at all hours of the day and night. Violent crime is virtually unheard of, and there are no neighborhoods to avoid entirely. Pickpocketing is the only real threat, so have your items tucked away safely and be aware of your surroundings.
Is Prague vegan and vegetarian friendly?
Prague's traditional meals rely heavily on meat and dairy, however the culinary scene has embraced vegetarian and vegan options with surprising speed. Most restaurants will offer a few vegetarian options.
Vegans may have a more difficult time in restaurants serving traditional Czech cuisine, however Dhaba Beas, Bombay Express, and Loving Hut have mostly vegan menus. The Czech Republic has a large Vietnamese minority thanks to a strong relationship with Vietnam during the Communist times. They’ve made their mark on the food scene, and Vietnamese restaurants are very popular among locals. They will have more vegan-friendly options, while still being part of the local Czech experience.
Is it easy to find English speakers in Prague?
Yes, English is widely spoken in Prague, particularly in tourist areas, hotels, and restaurants. Locals in the service industry often not only speak English, but also German, Russian, and Spanish.
Can I use Euros in Prague? Do I need cash?
Make sure to rearrange your wallet on your way from Vienna to Prague, as the Czech Republic uses Czech Crowns (“koruna” or CZK). It doesn’t have cents, so all of your coins will be korunas. A few places will take euros if it is all you have, but the exchange rate is not very good. We highly recommend taking out some cash from a reputable ATM (“bankomat”) at a major bank. Freestanding street ATMs at corner stores often have sneaky fees and bad exchange rates. If exchanging cash, only use a reputable money exchange center that offers receipts. Counterfeit money scams are very common, like giving Hungarian Forints instead of CZK. Although card payments are common in major businesses and tourism hotspots, cash is still king in Prague. When making a card payment, the terminal may ask if you want to pay in your home currency or CZK. Select CZK to avoid extra exchange fees.

Prague and Vienna stand as timeless gems in the heart of Europe. Millions visit each year to witness their rich history and cultural allure. Both cities are steeped in the grandeur of the Austro-Hungarian and Holy Roman empires. These battlegrounds of philosophy and religion have witnessed centuries of political and architectural changes that span Vienna to Prague, and radiate into the rest of Central Europe.
Whether it's strolling through Prague's Old Town Square or marveling at the imperial palaces of Vienna, each city offers a unique glimpse into the cultural and historical mosaic of Central Europe. Visiting them one after the other helps highlight their distinct personalities and similarities.
Traveling from capital to capital is typical, but you know better than that. The southern Czech countryside has hidden gems that would be missed on a direct train or bus. The best way to customize your trip is to break up the highway driving with pit stops to the unique little towns of the Czech Republic. With practical insights, a little bit of planning, and a private driver your trip can go off without a hitch.
About Prague
Prague is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic. Nestled along the Vltava River, the city has played a pivotal role in shaping the cultural, political, and architectural landscape of Central Europe far beyond its current borders.
The area of Prague has been inhabited since prehistoric times, but the earliest records of the city as we know it are from the 9th century. During the 14th century, Prague reached new heights under the rule of Emperor Charles IV, a member of the Luxembourg dynasty. Charles IV transformed Prague into a thriving imperial capital, earning it the moniker "Praga mater urbium" (Prague, the Mother of Cities). The Charles Bridge, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, and Charles University, the first university in Central Europe, are enduring legacies of his reign.
### Prague’s religious impact
Although most Czechs are atheist or agnostic today, Prague played a central role in the Protestant Reformation. The Hussite Wars of the 15th century were sparked by religious reformer Jan Hus's teachings. This period of conflict left its mark on Prague, as it became a focal point for religious upheaval.
Over a century later, Martin Luther became the most well known thought leader of the Protestant Reformation, however he took a lot of inspiration from the Hussites and Jan Hus’ ideology.
### Occupation, occupation, occupation
Prague’s central location between large ruling powers means it has been under some form of occupation for centuries. First the Austro-Hungarians, then the Nazis, and lastly as a satellite state of the USSR.
The 19th century witnessed a resurgence of Czech nationalism and cultural identity in response to Austro-Hungarian rule following the 30 Years’ War. The Czech National Revival, fueled by intellectuals and writers, aimed at preserving and promoting the Czech language and culture.
Famous Czech artist, Alphonse Mucha, played a major role in this movement. It laid the groundwork for the establishment of an independent Czechoslovak state after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1918.
It did not take long for Nazi occupation to reach Czech borders, starting with the Sudetenland on the border of Germany in 1938. Prague played a pivotal role in the 20th century's turbulent events, from the Nazi occupation during World War II to the Communist era following the war.
The Velvet Revolution of 1989, led by dissident and later President Václav Havel, peacefully overthrew the Communist regime, ushering in a new era of democracy and freedom.
### Modern Prague
In 1993, with the peaceful dissolution of Czechoslovakia, Prague became the capital of the newly-formed Czech Republic. The city has since become a thriving European metropolis, blending its historical charm with a modern economy and strong ties to its neighbors.
Despite the chaos of the 20th century, Prague did not experience bombing damage from WWII, like Berlin and Budapest. Most buildings remain entirely frozen in time.
The Czech Republic is a member of the EU and Schengen zone. Prague’s excellent public transportation and wide open green spaces make it a very livable city all year round. Its UNESCO-listed Old Town, Prague Castle, and astronomical clock continue to attract millions of visitors, making Prague a living testament to the enduring spirit of Central European history.
From Vienna to Prague: travel tips
Planning ahead is the key to making the most of your trip from Amsterdam to Bruges. Incorporate these easy-to-follow travel tips so you don’t get caught at a border without a vignette or the right driver’s license.
### Explore beyond the capitals
Both cities are magnificent, but consider exploring beyond the capitals. The journey from Vienna to Prague itself is an adventure, and stopping in smaller towns along the way provides a more authentic glimpse into Central European life.
Kutna Hora is home to the Sedlec Ossuary, which is made of artistically-placed human bones and a truly unique work of art. It is an UNESCO World Heritage Site and too close to Prague to miss.
Brno, the Czech Republic’s second-largest city, is between Vienna and Prague. You’ll recognize the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul, which is engraved on the 10 crown coin.
### Border crossings from Vienna to Prague
Austria and the Czech Republic are both in the EU, so you may not even notice you’ve crossed the border until you realize everything is in Czech, not German. Odds are no one will ask to see identification at the border, but just in case, keep your ID accessible while driving.
If taking a train or bus, the attendant may ask to see your ID along with your ticket.
### Vignettes from Vienna to Prague
In Austria, drivers must purchase a vignette to use the country's motorways and expressways. The vignette should be put on your windshield before entering an Austrian highway. Failure to display a valid vignette can result in hefty fines. Austria uses an electronic tolling system on certain routes, where cameras record the vehicle's license plate, and the toll is billed accordingly.
As you cross the border into the Czech Republic, a similar system awaits. The Czech vignette is also mandatory for highway use. It can be purchased for 10 days, 1 month, or a year. Unlike the Austrian system, Czech vignettes are available in both physical sticker form and electronic versions, allowing for more flexibility in choice.
It's worth noting that some sections of the Czech highway network are toll-free, but others require a valid vignette.
Vignettes can be purchased in gas stations, post offices, or online. The 10 day Austrian vignette costs about 10 euros, and the Czech one costs about 15 euros.
### Driver’s licenses in Austria and Czech Republic
EU drivers can drive in the Czech Republic and Austria with no issues. If you are from outside of the EU, make sure to have both your original driver’s license and an International Driving Permit (IDP). The IDP is an internationally recognized translation of your local license.
### Pack for any weather
Central Europe's weather can be unpredictable, so come prepared. Layers are your best friend, and a sturdy umbrella can save the day if it rains. Expect cool evenings even in the summer, and some unusually warm days in winter. Sturdy shoes will make going over the cobblestones much easier, and leave the super high heels at home.
### Parking in Prague
Does your accommodation have free or paid parking? Is the parking in a different location? If you are driving your own car, call or email your hotel or apartment ahead of time to get your questions answered and ensure a smooth arrival.
How to get from Vienna to Prague
Explore the historic paths that connect Vienna to Prague, where countless ancient routes have unfolded over time. Today, modern conveniences such as highways and trains provide an efficient array of options for a seamless and memorable experience.
### Driving from Vienna to Prague
The 205 mile (330 km) trip from Vienna to Prague is very popular and fast. It takes approximately 3 to 4 hours, depending on traffic and your chosen route. Several major highways connect Vienna and Prague, and there are plenty of detour options in case of a road accident, traffic, or construction.
In Austria and Czech Republic, drivers use the right side of the road and follow standardized EU road signage. The roads are wide, well-labeled and there is always a gas station or town within a reasonable distance in case you need to fill up or have a flat tire. Have small bills in cash ready just in case the stores along the highway do not take cards.
Depending on what kind of adventure you’d like to have, there are a few route options. The fastest and most popular route is through Brno. When leaving Vienna, take the S1 to the A5. At the border, this road gets a new name: 57. Follow the signs along the 57 to Brno. Once in Brno, transfer to the E50, which is a straight shot to Prague.
### Vienna to Prague with Daytrip’s private car service
Hiring a private driver through Daytrip adds convenience to your journey and removes the stress of picking up a rental car, purchasing vignettes ahead of time and worrying about parking. English-speaking drivers who know the local laws and routes can provide door-to-door service. No need to worry about packing light or rolling luggage over Prague’s cobblestone streets.
Although it’s a short distance, consider giving yourself a full day to travel in your itinerary. A private car is the perfect opportunity to take the road less traveled. Small wineries and charming little villages may catch your eye and give you a reason to take a detour. Sonberk Winery and the town of Trebic are popular stops along the way. The Jewish Quarter of Trebic is an UNESCO World Heritage Site and is almost frozen in time.
### Trains from Vienna to Prague
Trains are incredibly frequent between Vienna and Prague. You may even get away with not booking your seat ahead of time (but don’t risk it!) The train ride typically takes around 4 hours, offering a direct connection between Vienna's Hauptbahnhof and Prague's main train station, Praha hlavní nádraží.
Buses from Vienna to Prague
Buses are also very frequent and at all hours of the day. The bus ride can take approximately 4 to 5 hours, depending on the chosen route and any potential stops along the way. With both trains and buses, it may be worth it to switch in Brno and have a few hours layover to explore.
### Flights from Vienna to Prague
The direct flight time is remarkably short, only one hour, between Vienna International Airport and Prague Václav Havel Airport. However, the time savings is minuscule after you factor in traveling out to the airport and going through all the security lines. Skip the airport for this trip!
Things to do when you get to Prague
Prague has events, activities, and sites for any budget and interest. After your journey from Vienna, have a cold beer and warm svíčková as soon as you get to Prague, and then follow our guide of things to do!
Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral
Begin your adventure with a visit to the iconic Prague Castle, a sprawling complex that boasts stunning architecture, beautiful gardens, and panoramic views of the city. Explore the intricacies of St. Vitus Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic design. Sprawling vineyards complement the stone structures, and from the top you will see why Prague is consistently ranked as one of the greenest cities.
This complex is atop a hill, so if you enjoy walking upstairs, take the tram to the Malostranská stop for plenty of stairs. If you prefer the tram to do the climbing for you, go to the Pražský Hrad stop for easier access.
### Old Town Square
Lose yourself in the magical allure of Old Town Square, the center of historic Prague. The Astronomical Clock chimes once an hour and you will know it’s almost time because crowds will begin to form to watch the little statues in the clock perform “The Walk of the Apostles.”
On many days, you’ll see dance events, festivals, and school concerts set up in the square. In the weeks leading up to Christmas, the square is filled with stalls selling gifts, candy, meats, and mulled wine.
### Panoramic views From Petřín Hill
Ascend Petřín Hill from the Ujezd tram stop for a great view of Prague. You can walk up, or take the funicular. If you have a valid public transportation ticket, it also works on the funicular! Enjoy a leisurely walk through Petřín Park, explore the miniature Eiffel Tower (Petřín Tower), and revel in panoramic views of Prague from its summit.
### Modern vibes: Holešovice and Karlín
Experience Prague's modern side by exploring the districts of Holešovice and Karlín. These trendy neighborhoods are home to contemporary art spaces, hip cafes, and innovative restaurants that remind you Prague is not just historic, but living.
### Divoká Šárka National Park
A trip to a national park right on the tram line? Escape to nature at Divoká Šárka Park, a vast expanse of greenery just outside the city center. Enjoy hiking trails, serene ponds, and the refreshing beauty of this natural oasis that’s closer to the city than you think.
### The Jewish Quarter
Delve into the rich history of Prague's Jewish Quarter, Josefov. The Jewish Museum ticket is the easiest way to see all the main sites. The Jubilee Synagogue is outside of the Jewish Quarter, close to the main train station, but definitely worth the trip.
### Czech cuisine
It takes hearty meals to survive long winters in Central Europe. Czech cuisine tends to be heavy, with lots of meat, bread, and potatoes. Sample traditional dishes like goulash, svíčková (marinated sirloin), and trdelník (a sweet pastry). Explore local eateries such as Lokál and U Fleků for an authentic gastronomic experience.
### Cheers to beer
The Czech Republic has a long tradition in producing high quality beers. Czech beers have a thick beer head (foam). Visit traditional pubs and breweries like U Fleků, Strahov Monastery Brewery, and Lokál for an authentic taste of Czech beer. Brands like Staropramen, Kozel, and Pilsner will be recognized by beer lovers from far and near.
### Enjoy a beer on Naplavka
In the evening, unwind along the Vltava River at Naplavka, a popular riverside promenade for college students and young adults. Floating bars and restaurants provide a casual atmosphere if you’d like a sit-down meal or a table. On the other hand, it is very popular for groups of students to find a nice spot, bring a blanket, and sit on the ground to enjoy the riverside.

“Quelle belle expérience. Notre chauffeur (Petr) était excellent. Il nous a pris à l'heure, nous a emmenés à destination comme prévu, et a partagé de nombreuses informations intéressantes en cours de route. Notre trajet de Prague à Vienne (avec un arrêt à Český Krumlov) a été une merveilleuse façon de voir la campagne. Tellement facile et confortable. 6 personnes avec tous nos bagages, et nous avions encore beaucoup de place dans le mini-van confortable. Fortement recommandé par rapport au train ou à l'avion !”
“Daytrip s'est avéré être le moyen parfait de voyager de Prague à Vienne. Nous nous sommes arrêtés dans plusieurs sites en cours de route pour rendre le voyage plus agréable. Notre chauffeur était courtois et serviable, il est venu nous chercher directement devant notre Airbnb à Prague et nous a déposés directement devant notre hôtel à Vienne. Le van était confortable et il y avait amplement de place pour les bagages. De l'eau et des collations ont été fournies. Je recommande vivement Daytrip.”

“Nous avons utilisé Daytrip à deux reprises lors de notre récent voyage en Europe : un transfert de Prague à Vienne avec un arrêt à Kutna Hora, puis de Vienne à Budapest avec un arrêt à Bratislava. Les deux transferts étaient excellents. Les voitures étaient en bon état et nos chauffeurs étaient formidables, nous aidant avec les bagages et partageant des informations historiques sur les endroits visités. La communication avec l'entreprise était aussi très bonne. Je réutiliserais sans hésitation ce service et le recommande vivement.”
“Nous avons réservé un transfert de Vienne à Prague, avec un arrêt à Kutna Hora. Excellent service, ponctuel, voiture très confortable, chauffeur amical, parlant couramment l'anglais et connaissant bien la ville. Il nous a emmenés dans le type de site que nous voulions découvrir.”
“Nous avons voyagé de Vienne à Prague avec un arrêt à Kutna Hora. Les chauffeurs étaient ponctuels, aimables et la voiture spacieuse. Une excellente manière de voyager.”
“J'ai pris un transfert privé de Vienne à Prague le 12 octobre. Tout s'est parfaitement bien passé. Ils sont très professionnels et répondent rapidement à toute question. Mon meilleur retour concerne le chauffeur David, qui était incroyable. Enthousiaste et doté d'un bon sens de l'humour, il a rendu notre trajet agréable. Je recommande vivement Daytrip et utiliserai leurs services de nouveau, peut-être avec David encore une fois.”
“Nous avons eu un très bon voyage avec Vladislav de notre appartement à Prague jusqu'à un appartement à Vienne. Il était très attentionné et a conduit prudemment. Il a été très serviable avec les bagages, et les bouteilles d'eau étaient une attention agréable. Nous avons trouvé l'entreprise en ligne et la réservation s'est bien passée. Merci beaucoup Daytrip, en particulier à Vladislav. Je recommande vivement d'utiliser cette entreprise.”
“Nous avons réservé à l'avance deux transferts séparés (différents jours) de Prague à Vienne (sans arrêts à notre demande) et de Vienne à Salzbourg. Cette entreprise est INCROYABLE, et nous n'utiliserons plus qu'eux à l'avenir ! Système de correspondance et de paiement au top ! Nous avons réservé des SUV pour les deux trajets à cause de nos cinq bagages. Les deux transferts étaient à l'heure et les voitures très propres, surtout le MERCEDES en upgrade avec Stanislav – merci Daytrip !! David était notre chauffeur de Prague à Vienne, super chauffeur-guide, expérimenté, charmant, facile à parler, transfert génial ! Stanislav était notre chauffeur-guide de Vienne à Salzbourg, et c'est l'un des meilleurs chauffeurs que nous ayons eu en 20 ans de voyages !! Il est allé au-delà de nos attentes sans même qu'on le lui demande ! Nous avions du temps libre, et lui aussi, donc il nous a proposé un arrêt rapide à l'abbaye de Melk (incroyable) et au lac Hallstatt/village de Mondsee (également incroyable) qui ont vraiment fait notre voyage !! Sa femme avait même préparé des douceurs pour nous – quel service !! Je ne peux pas recommander Stanislav suffisamment, quel gars formidable – super fun, excellent chauffeur et véhicule !! Les prix sont légèrement plus élevés, mais tellement bien pour la commodité du porte-à-porte par rapport au train/avion. Merci encore Daytrip, David et Stanislav !!!”
