Taking the bus offers a convenient, affordable way to travel between Amsterdam and Prague, with regular services whenever travelers need to make the trip. Journey times range from 12 hours 45 minutes to over 17 hours, and there will be 14-18 buses to choose from every day.
Travelers will have the option of booking their Amsterdam to Prague bus with DB and Eurolines, both of which offer indirect journeys. However, only Regiojet runs direct bus connections to Prague.
The journey from Amsterdam to Prague can be fairly time consuming. Journey times vary from 12 hours 45 minutes to over 17 hours in some cases. The fastest services tend to be indirect buses via Germany, and Regiojet's direct buses are rarely the quickest option.
On any given day, there will be 2 direct Amsterdam to Prague bus options, and 14-18 indirect buses with journey times below 17 hours.
Departure Bus Station: Buses to Prague will leave from either Amsterdam's Sloterdijk or Duivendrecht bus stations. Duivendrecht is the main Eurolines terminal, and is located in the south-eastern part of the city. It can easily be accessed via Metro services 50 or 54, as well as local buses. Sloterdijk is Regiojet's main departure point, and can be found in eastern Amsterdam. The bus station is also served by the Amsterdam Metro (lines 50 or 51 in this case), but the 19 tram route also passes by the bus terminal, and may be just as convenient for those coming from central Amsterdam.
Arrival Bus Station: An Amsterdam to Prague bus could arrive at either Prague Hlavni Nadrazi, or UAN Florenc stops. Hlavni Nadrazi is the city's major rail terminal and is the more central of the two. From there, passengers can seamlessly transfer to the Prague Metro Line C, which allows them to reach the city center in 5-10 minutes. UAN Florenc is around 800 meters north of Hlavni Nadrazi, so it isn't much further from downtown Prague. Again, Metro Line C is the best transfer option, via Florenc Station. Both bus station are also served by overground rail lines, which run to suburban locations.
