Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic.

Getting there

I chose to get to Prague by bus as it's only about 390km by car / bus. I recommend to have a look at busliniensuche.de to find a good bus, although the market is dominated by Flixbus.

Getting to Prague:

06:40 ab Home, MetroBus 56 direction Fürstenried West
06:46 an Pasing Bf, Gleis 9

06:53 ab Pasing, S3 direction Holzkirchen, Gleis 5/6
07:01 an Hackerbrücke, Gleis 1

07:07 an Munich, ZOB

07:35 ab Munich, ZOB, BUS 42050
12:40 an Praha hl.n.

12:59 ab Central Station, "C" Letňany (4 stations: Florenc, )
13:07 an Kobylisy

13:12 an Hotel Aida, Kubišova 1953/23, 182 00 Praha 8

Getting back from Prague to Munich:

17:15 ab Praha hl.n., Bus 42057
21:55 an Munich ZOB

22:19 ab Hackerbrücke, Gleis 2 mit S3 Mammendorf
22:27 an Pasing, Gleis 7/8

22:34 ab Pasing, Bstg. 2, 56 Schloss Blutenburg

    • Sleeping clothes
  • Hygiene
    • Toothbrush
    • Toothpaste

Money

The Czech Republic has the Czech koruna (CZK). I always try to have a bit of non-electronic money in case something goes wrong. It was super hard to get CZK in Munich with Sparkasse. I went to Marienplatz only to be told that I'm a customer of "Sparkasse Karlsruhe" so I have to pay 5 EUR. For them, it's as if I'm not a customer of Sparkasse at all. Very disapointing.

So I went to Reisebank at HBF Munich. No long lines, but I had to pay a fee of 3.78 EUR. They applied an exchange rate of 0.0445714, whereas Google 1 CZK in EUR shows 0.0392576328 EUR, which means they demand 14% more money.

For N26, withdrawing another currenzy seems to be free (source)? Let's see...

Public Transportation

See dpp.cz. 310 CZK for a 3-day ticket.
