There are some 18 rail crossings into the republic. By road, visitors can enter the republic at over 30 points, and the list is growing all the time. Czech Railways provides clean, efficient train service to almost every part of the country, though express buses are often faster and more convenient than the train.
Buses are more expensive, but, by European standards, both are cheap.
Car, motorbike and bicycle are ideal ways to see the republic, and, in Prague, feet, trams and the metro are the best ways to get around. Lonely Planet Publications Pty. Ltd. All rights reserved.
