Hi tUt,
Thanks again.
Wish someday I can meet you; not only due to your knowledge; but mostly, due to your generosity with your time and knowledge; and yes.. a calm manner, and being patient with repeated questions.

I live in Los Angeles... whenever you'll have a chance going there; drop me a line.

best regards,
Luu

Hi tUt,
You have tremendous knowledge about the train systems there and are very generous in sharing your knowledge.  So, I am asking for your advice.  Here is our (a couple) overall itinerary.

- Arriving Frankfurt airport at 7:20 am.
- go to Prague the same day (using combination of regional train and bus for 29euro each)
- overnight train Prague to krakow with stopping by Oswiecim  along the way
- overnight train Krakow to Budapest
- day train Budapest to Bratislava, or Vienna
- train Vienna to Salzburg (not sure day, or overnight)
- train Salzburg to Munich (Bayern ticket)
- train Munich to Zurich
- fly home from Zurich

The above itinerary is to avoid round-trip and cris-crossing.
What is your thought of the itinerary and what is the best train tickets?

Thanks much,
Luu

Thanks tUt.

I read the other topic you refer to.  The overnight train from Prague to C. Tesin arrive at 5:09 am.  Is there a bus/taxi from the Czech train station to the Polish train station?  Like the other fellow, we would like to take a train to Oswiecim before moving on to Krakow.

Also, as a couple, we have to buy the 3-bed compartment as a family which costs 1808 Kc.  To buy a 3-bed for a couple, we have to specify gender, which looks like either man, or woman, but not both.

Could you please elaborate on this: "But as you can guess, with a change it is possible to travel much cheaper."   
All I know is that there are trains leaving Prague at 21:32, arriving Krakow at 6:24.

Thanks.

Thanks... I understand now.
This web site:  https://www.cd.cz/eshop/international/search_int.aspx?tt=5   does not have Prague to Krakow...  Do you know which ones have that info?

Can a husband and wife stay in the same 2-person sleeper couchette on an overnight train from Prague to Krakow and another night train from Krakow to Budapest?

Because I heard that 2-person sleeper is for same gender only.

Thanks,
Luu

Hi,
I plan to buy a Euro east pass, which covers Czech, and others.  I plan to take a train from the Frankfurt airport to Prague.  How do I pay for the segment within Germany and use the pass for the Czech segment?

Thanks,
Luu
