I recently took a trip from Berlin to Prague with Deutsche Bahn. The staff on the train were very friendly. They were very nice and always had a smile on their face. Hygiene was extremely well taken care of and the toilets were very clean. The train also arrived in Prague on time. However, I found the price very high. There were many changes of trains, which made the journey difficult. It was also very noisy on the train, so I felt uncomfortable. Overall, it was fine.

Pros

Reliable

Quick

Cons

None

The ride was super nice and pleasant. Through beautiful countryside. It's worth doing the tour just for the scenery. We sat in a small compartment. Everyone was friendly and it is much more pleasant than travelling by car. We were able to work very well in our small compartment. Wifi was good most of the time, but there were periods where it didn't work. Booked spontaneously. Still a good price. Toilets were a bit old, but okay!

Pros

Great food

Best connection without changing trains

Nice, Czech staff

Cons

In fact no disadvantage

Whenever I go to Prague with my girlfriend or friends, we use the old German IC trains from Berlin to Prague. You can get to Prague in 4.5 hours without changing trains. You can eat delicious goulash and Czech specialities in the board restaurant. The staff doesn't speak perfect German, but it's good enough for ordering. The train is much faster than you would get there by car. And it's also much cheaper.

Pros

On time

Comfortable

Acid

Good value

Cons

A little warm in the compartment

No stop at the main station

The train arrived on time and was pissed off. It was an old Czech Railways Eurocity model, which is common on the route. The toilet was also sour. The staff at the check called. The train arrived a few minutes late and unfortunately did not stop in Prague main station, but a little outside.

What do expert travelers think about the train from Prague to Berlin?

Savvy backpacker

I recently took a high-speed train from Prague to Berlin during the height of the summer travel season. I normally travel in second class (which is always super comfortable) but I opted for a first-class ticket since it was only slightly more expensive and I felt like treating myself during this 4.5-hour train ride. The spacious seat and extra legroom were great.

As with every high-speed train I’ve been on, the entire journey was a joy. It was fast, comfortable, and peaceful. I even spent a little time in the dining car where I enjoyed a cold Czech beer while we zipped through the German countryside. All the train employees were helpful and spoke English so communication was a breeze.

Positives: Clean, comfortable, and on time.
Negatives: WiFi was a little spotty at times.
