Overview: car trip from Vilshofen an der Donau to Prague

A car trip with Daytrip from Vilshofen an der Donau to Prague will transport you from the quaint port city on the Danube in Germany to one of the most architecturally diverse cities in the world. Prague is well known for its Gothic cathedrals, Romanesque cellars and chapels, worldly Art Nouveau buildings, Baroque palaces and gardens, and unique Cubist architecture. It's a place that has no parallel in the world, so it's worth adding to your travel bucket list.

You will also encounter amazing cities, towns, and attractions along the way. When traveling with Daytrip from Vilshofen to Prague, you should visit Cesky Krumlov, also known as the jewel of South Bohemia, Ceske Budejovice, home of the original Budweiser, and Hluboka, a Windsor castle found in South Bohemia. Your private driver can tell you more about these locations while providing travel tips and insights.

There is also Pisek, which is proudly the home of education in the Czech Republic; the Vojna Labour Camp Memorial, where you can learn more about the injustices carried out by a tyrannical regime; and Koneprusy Cave, which is the best stop for those who enjoy witnessing nature most incredible creations.

After sightseeing at these locales, you'll get to Prague, where you can explore spectacular city landscapes and learn more about the city's ancient history, including why it's called the 'city of a hundred spires.'

About Prague

If you're completing a Vilshofen an der Donau to Prague transfer, you'll be among the just under 7.5 million who travel to this beautiful city every year. Prague is the wonderous capital of the Czech Republic and is located in central Europe. It's a city that can be characterized as lively, welcoming, and magnificent, with its architecture often described as a '3D architectural textbook.'

Although the city is mainly known for its architecture, you do not need to be an expert on artistic styles to appreciate the diversity that Prague offers travelers. No matter when you go in the city, whether it's taking a tour of the Church of Our Lady before the Wallenstein Palace or visiting the Rotunda of St Martin or the Municipal House, Prague architecture oozes and enthralls from nearly every alleyway and building.

Wandering through the city will feel like a fever dream, especially at night when the city's charisma and style transport you to another time. Around every corner, you'll see Prague's more than 1,000 years of turbulent history represented in the cultural attractions and historical landmarks you pass. Founded in the second half of the 9th century, it has weathered many political storms and has come out on top.

Prague is an architectural wonderland, from castles and palaces to churches, chapels, and museums, but there is more to this city than its buildings. When you visit Prague, you shouldn't miss out on stopping at the awe-inspiring Vltava River while walking across the Charles Bridge.

Nor should you avoid trying Prague's street food at any of the markets in the city, and why not enjoy a pint or glass of fine at any of the local pubs in the Old Town neighborhood known for their craggy charm? The cultural scene also isn't anything to scoff at, with festivals and concerts every year attracting thousands of local and international visitors.

Artistic flair, historical monuments, cultural attractions, musical masterpieces, local cuisine, and architectural wonder await, so book with Daytrip soon to begin your adventure of this stunning city.

From Vilshofen an der Donau to Prague: travel tips

Whether you complete a Vilshofen an der Donau to Prague transfer by car, bus, train, or flight, remember a few must-know travel tips. Knowing the tips below can be the difference between a spectacular trip filled with laughter and happiness and a nightmarish experience of awful pitfalls and unnecessary despair.

Prebook your airport taxi

You cannot fly directly from Vilshofen an der Donau to Prague. You have to take a train, bus, or taxi to get to Prague. Unfortunately, many opportunistic taxi drivers will charge exorbitant rates to get you from one city to the next.

And if you want to avoid hulking your suitcases on and off public transportation, a taxi is likely your choice in terms of transportation. This is, of course, if you do not want to rather take a private car transfer service like Daytrip with professional drivers who handle your luggage for you.

If you plan on taking a taxi, be sure to arrange your transfer well in advance, as this can help lower the cost of your trip. Alternatively, simply book with Daytrip.

Be careful of too-good-to-be-true exchange rates

When changing money, being wary of too-good-to-be-true exchange rates is important. This is especially true when traveling from Vilshofen to Prague. Many unscrupulous currency exchanges often promise amazing deals only to charge exorbitant hidden fees that you don't know about until it's too late.

So, before exchanging your euros from Germany into Czech koruna, which you will need in Prague, get the final amount in writing to see if there are any hidden fees. If you think you've received a bad deal and you exchanged less than €1000, you can cancel the transaction within three hours.

Consider traveling the scenic route

You should consider taking the scenic route if you're driving from Vilshofen an der Donau to Prague. The most scenic route takes you through the Bavarian Forest and Bohemian Forest, offering you glimpses of charming villages and picturesque landscapes you won't soon forget,

This route is also popular because it allows you to stop and sightsee at many interesting places. There is Ceske Budejovice, Pisek, as well as Cesky Krumlov which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites known for their historic old towns and spectacular architecture.

How to get from Vilshofen an der Donau to Prague

Getting from Vilshofen an der Donau to Prague can be a little tricky, considering there is no direct flight to the city. This does not mean you cannot take a flight, but it is more complicated. Below, we've detailed the transportation options available, including how to fly if you do not want to take the bus, train, or a private car transfer service.

From Vilshofen an der Donau to Prague by train

If you want to take a train from Vilshofen an der Donau to Prague, you should expect to encounter transfers at stations like Plattling and Regensburg. The train line offering trips between these two cities is Deutsche Bahn, and tickets cost between $32 and $75 (€30-€70) each way.

If you include the transfer times, the trip length is about five to seven hours on average. You can book tickets online or at the train station itself.

From Vilshofen an der Donau to Prague by bus

If you want to take a bus, you have two options. Your first option is to book with Flixbus or Regiojet and take a direct bus trip via Passau. Ticket prices range between $16 and $32 (€15-€30) one way, and the trip will take about four to five hours.

Your second option is to take a combined bus and train trip. This trip will take a local train from Vilshofen an der Donau to Passau and then a bus from Passau to Prague. With this option, you would need to book a train ticket with Deutsche Bahn, which can cost between $10.75 and $21 (€10-€20), and then book a bus line with tickets costing between $16 and $32 (€15-€30)

Even if you choose the combined route, it is likely the cheapest travel method, but it is not by any means the easiest or most comfortable. The trip will also take about four and a half to five and a half hours to complete.

From Vilshofen an der Donau to Prague by flight

Choosing to fly is probably the most complicated way to travel from Vilshofen to Prague. You would need to take a train to Munich and then a flight to Prague, with the train booked through Deutsche Bahn and the flight with Lufthansa or another airline.

The train ticket would cost between $21 and $43 (€20-€40), and the flight to Prague from Munich would cost between $86 and $160 (€80-€150), totaling $107 to $203 (€100-€190) one way. Time-wise, you must set aside between five and seven hours to account for check-ins, transfers, and security.

From Vilshofen an der Donau to Prague by private car transfer service

For numerous reasons, a Vilshofen an der Donau to Prague transfer with a private car service like Daytrip is one of the best ways to travel between the two cities. For one, Daytrip offers door-to-door service, meaning you won't need to worry about carrying any luggage between transfers as you won't encounter transfers.

You can also breathe easier knowing you will be driven by a vetted and professional driver who knows the region and can provide travel tips should you want to learn more during the drive. In addition, Daytrip also provides comfortable vehicles and a personalized travel experience, where you can stop along the way at exciting attractions like Ceske Budejovice, Cesky Krumlov, Pisek, and the Koneprusy Caves.

You might also find it convenient that you can choose when you travel and that you won't encounter any waiting times. Not to mention, a trip costs only $68 (€64), which is cheaper than other less convenient travel options.

Things to do when you get to Prague

From its lively nightlife to its vast cultural offerings, Prague has something for every type of traveler. If you've decided to make your way from Vilshofen to Prague and you can't figure out what to do, you'll love learning about the places we recommend you explore during your visit. From Prague Castle to the Charles Bridge, get ready to be wowed.

Charles Bridge

Whether you see the Charles Bridge from afar or peer over it to glimpse the Vltava River, it's quite a spectacle. Before it became a historic landmark, the Charles Bridge was the only thing connecting Prague Castle to the city's Old Town.

Unsurprisingly, its role throughout Prague's history is pretty impressive. Because of its importance and magnificence, the Charles Bridge has also been featured in novels, poems, and songs, so it is certainly an attraction you'll want to visit.

We recommend visiting the bridge late in the day, as it is usually far emptier. This makes it the perfect spot for romantic pictures and late afternoon walks.

Prague Castle

Prague Castleis undoubtedly one of the city's most stunning attractions. Since its founding in the 9th century, this castle, dominated by the Gothic St. Vitus Cathedral, has been the seat of power for several kings, emperors, and presidents.

If you plan on visiting this castle—which you should—you'll need an entire day. If you don't have enough time to explore its hidden nooks and crannies, it's best to do your research and pick the places you want to see. Some of the sights worth adding to your 'must-see' list at the castle include the gorgeous Romanesque facade of St George's Basilica, the tiny houses of Golden Lane, and the manicured landscapes of the South Gardens.

Vyšehrad

There is no denying that the crowds in Prague can get a little frustrating, especially during the peak travel season. So you might want to avoid the busier lookout points and head to Vyšehrad. This lookout point provides visitors with a photo-worthy panorama of a hillside. The views are gorgeous, and you'll be out in the open to enjoy the fresh air.

Besides the stunning views, you can also admire the statues, eye-catching cathedral, and cemetery. This lookout also has an amazing beer garden, making visiting it even more worthwhile.

When is the best time to visit Prague?

The last thing you want to do is plan a trip from Vilshofen to Prague during the wrong season. Usually, the best time to travel to this intriguing city is spring or early fall. The weather is mild during these seasons, with temperatures remaining around 55°F-68°F (13°C-20°C), and the crowds are much reduced.

You can visit in the summer, but you must prepare for hotter temperatures, usually around 74°F-77°F (23°C-25°C), significantly larger and more uncomfortable crowds, and higher accommodation and transportation costs.

You can also plan a trip to Prague during Christmas, but this time of year is notoriously cold, with temperatures hardly ever rising above 36°F (2°C). If you don't mind colder weather, you'll enjoy the serenity felt during this season, and the city looks truly medieval.

Questions & Answers about Traveling from Vilshofen an der Donau to Prague

You can get from Vilshofen to Prague in a few ways. You can take a train, a bus, a flight, or a combination of these things or use a private car service. The train and driving are the fastest options, while the bus and flying are some of the slowest options.
Typically, the cheapest way to get from Germany to Prague is to take a bus, depending on where you are traveling from in Germany. If you are traveling from Vilshofen, the bus is only $16 and $32 (€15-€30), making it incredibly affordable. Unfortunately, the downside is that the trip is lengthy.
Vilshofen and Prague are about 115 miles (186 km) apart. This distance is quite far, which is why it's best to travel by private car if you want to enjoy a day trip in Prague without worrying too much about travel schedules.
The best way to get from Vilshofen an der Donau to beautiful Prague is usually to drive with a private door-to-door car service like Daytrip. Daytrip guarantees flexible travel schedules, sightseeing stops, comfortable seating, friendly English-speaking drivers, and affordable pricing.
Although Prague is a member of the European Union, its local currency is not the euro. The Thai city uses the Czech koruna or Czech crown. You must change your currency from the euro when traveling from Vilshofen in Germany to Prague in the Czech Republic.
Prague is one of the most walkable cities in Europe, so it's important to wear appropriate footwear that is comfortable and easy to walk in. However, if you don't want to walk from one attraction to the next, you can take public transportation, which is excellent in Prague.

A wonderful travel experience.

Day Trip was incredible! Our river cruise was to terminate at Deggendorf, Germany but we ended our cruise in Vilshofen, Germany. Our cruise director call Attila, our driver, and he met us at Vilshofen and drove us to Prague. He was on time and the vehicle was immaculate and comfortable. Attila was an excellent driver and provided explanations of the interesting sights along the way to Prague. We also used Day Trip to travel from Prague to Krakow, Poland. Michael was our driver and he was superb. He picked us up on time and delivered us to our hotel in Krakow. His vehicle was excellent and he was extremely personable and well informed on our selected tours. We used Day Trip to travel from Krakow to Budapest, Hungary. We were extremely happy that Attila was our driver for this trip. He drove us through Slovakia and most of the trip was on secondary roads. Attila handled the drive with ease. My wife’s birthday was on this leg of our travels and Attila presented her with a wonderful bottle of Hungarian wine as a gift. We arrived in Budapest on time. I can’t say enough about Day trip, it’s employees, the perfectly timed comfort stops and unique places for lunch. I will definitely use them again and refer this company to my friends and travel agent. Thank you Day Trip. You made our trip fun and worry free.

Perfect way to travel between cities

We travelled from Vilshofen to Prague after disembarking from a river cruise. The Daytrip team provided the perfect way to travel between these two locations. Our driver Peter arrived punctually for our pick-up at the Vilshofen port and helped us with our luggage. The car was very comfortable with plenty of room. Peter was such a pleasant man and provided us with many interesting facts along the way. He treated us to a drive along a secondary route so we could better enjoy the wonderful scenery between Vilshofen and Prague. We took a detour to Cesky Krumlov where he provided us with a brief, informative tour of the town before giving us time to explore it on our own. His introduction and directions allowed us to more fully enjoy the sights. As promised, we received door to door service to our hotel in Prague for the agreed upon fee. We felt entirely comfortable and safe during the entire day. Prior to our trip, we received e-mails from the company that confirmed our transportation details. A photo of the driver who would be picking us up was also sent to us - a much appreciated gesture. I would highly recommend this company’s service to others. The service was very professional.
