It’s direct and it’s cheap, with bus tickets costing between 30% and 40% less than flights at the time we checked. FlixBus also covers this route but usually requires a transfer.

The flight that connects these two cities is usually quite cheap and it was actually the cheaper option when we checked, but that’s not always the case and the bus route provides an interesting alternative if you’re not keen on flying or want to see the continent through the window of a bus.

Night Buses in the Czech Republic

Night buses are available from intercity providers and can carry you long distances inside and outside the country. FlixBus is one of the most popular of these and runs night buses to cities across the Czech Republic and in neighboring countries. The night buses typically depart from the bus station in the evening, drive through the night, and then arrive the following morning. Some of the longer trips cover several days’ worth of travel.

Not only do these buses give you a chance to sleep through the majority of the journey, but they also tend to be quicker. They make fewer stops during the night and the roads are not as busy, so they can drive straight through and make good time.

To book a cheap night bus ticket in the Czech Republic, just search on Omio for your preferred route. You’ll see a list of the best options, along with prices and times. Check the times for buses that depart in the evening and finish their journey the next morning or afternoon.

Bus travel tips for the Czech Republic

If you’re taking a bus to Prague, a bus from Prague, or a connection to another Czech city, check out the following tips. These will help you when traveling on Czech buses and when exploring the country in general.

• Use any door: The buses in Prague and other towns and cities have multiple doors. There is no rule regarding which one you should use, so feel free to board and disembark from any of them. Of course, you should wait for other passengers to get off before you get on.
• Be wary of pickpockets and scams: Big cities like Prague are magnets for tourists, and wherever you find a lot of tourists you will also find many pickpockets and scammers. Protect your valuables, don’t exchange money with random people on the street (a common scam in Prague that usually happens near ATMs), and remember that if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
• Check the prices: Another common scam usually occurs at restaurants and food kiosks and involves charging for an unspecified amount of food or charging by weight. So, you order some meat thinking it‘s a fixed price, they see that you’re a tourist, weigh the meat, and charge you 5x more than you were expecting.
• Try some of the beer: The Czech Republic is famous for its beer. They love the stuff over here and they brew some of the best beer in the world. Even if you’re not much of a beer drinker, we recommend trying some of the local favorites. They might just change your mind about this drink.
• Always validate your ticket: We’ve said it before, but it’s worth saying again. Validating your ticket literally makes it valid—buying it isn’t enough. Look for the yellow boxes on public transport. Remember, this doesn’t apply to intercity buses booked through Omio, as these use e-tickets that you keep on your device and show when you board.
• Compare and book with Omio: Always compare your ticket prices with Omio. We’ll help you to quickly search and compare Czech bus tickets to ensure you get the cheapest one.
