Traveling to Prague by bus- Travel Tips

Prague is simply fascinating. On one hand, the Czech capital boasts impressive baroque buildings, romantic streets, and churches in the Gothic style. On the other hand, the city showcases more recent Art Nouveau buildings with delicate stained glass and modern jewels, such as Frank Gehry's Dancing House.

Staying true to the city's esthetic, Prague's main train station Praha Hlavní Nádraí, is an architectural masterpiece in itself, having been designed by the renowned Czech architect Josef Fanta in the Art Nouveau style. It is conveniently located in the New Town district or Nové Město, on the eastern bank of the river Vltava, which divides the city in two. This area is one of the five zones considered Prague's city center, so it is easily accessible to the regular tourist preoccupied more with absorbing Prague's beauty than asking for directions.

It is worth considering Praha Hlavní Nádraí as the endpoint of your journey by bus to Prague when booking with Omio. While in Prague, try to avoid taking a taxi, which can come with a hefty price tag especially for tourists, and rely more on the wide and friendly tram network spreading throughout the city. On most routes, trams are also equipped with access ramps to accommodate passengers with limited mobility. Prague has a metro network as well, and the bus terminals where FlixBus stops are in close proximity to the subway stations.
