Train fares and tariffs / Re: Munich to Prague
« on: July 27, 2011, 11:00:29 am »
The info provided by the Administrator is spot on. We just travelled (3 of us) from Munich to Prague by the ALX 355 on 16th July 2011 and I don't think there could have been a better way.
The Bayern-Bohemia ticket was bought (group ticket for upto 5 persons) was bought at the Munich Central Station from a MVV Ticket Vending machine, which was not a challenge.
This ticket is valid till Plzen, at Plzen we bought a group ticket from the conductor on board the train itself for Euro 19:60. The total journey costed us less than Euro 60.
ALX 355 is the only train without any change overs from Munich to Prague and lasts 6 hours, I tried hard for a faster route but could have saved only an hour probably if I did a train and bus combo, but than I didn't want to risk a changeover (of about 10mins) with baggage.
The train has 3 carriages for Prague and are at the end of the train so are actually the first three from the station side as you walk into the platform. There is no seat reservation for this train and there are ample seats. The 2nd Class is as good as the 1st class, so no need to spend more.
Remember to carry some food from Munich itself, water is a must, as the stops on the way are short and there isn't anything on the platforms on the way.
