Buses in the Czech Republic

Buses in the Czech Republic are an essential part of the country's transport network. Trans-European bus providers FlixBus and Eurolines operate in the Czech Republic, and provide connections between the country and neighboring European nations. Other bus companies in the Czech Republic include RegioJet, which offers intercity services at reasonable prices. 

Bus connections in the Czech Republic are fast, often taking the same amount of time as the train. Traveling in the Bohemia region of the Czech Republic is notoriously difficult by train, with very few lines operating in popular tourist areas such as Karlovy Vary and Český Krumlov.​ However, passengers will find good bus connections in those areas.

Most travelers board or disembark at Prague's Florenc bus station, a hub for all national and international bus travel in the Czech Republic. Popular bus routes for tourists include the route from Prague to Pilsen, Prague to Český Krumlov,​ or Prague to Liberic. 

When passengers book with Omio, they can compare providers' routes in terms of speed, price, and efficiency. Mobile tickets, which are frequently available, are more efficient and allow passengers to travel paper-free. Many tickets have flexible policies that allow travelers to claim a refund with cancellation up to 48 hours in advance.

Omio has partnered with all major bus companies in the Czech Republic, allowing you to compare providers on factors such as pricing, speed, and comfort.

Bus companies in the Czech Republic

The most popular international bus providers in the Czech Republic are Eurolines and FlixBus. These providers offer intercity services between many of the Czech Republic's most popular destinations, alongside connections with major European capitals, such as Berlin, Vienna, and Budapest. The companies offer hundreds of journeys a day across the Czech Republic.

Another popular bus company in the Czech Republic is RegioJet. The country's biggest bus company, RegioJet also offers hundreds of routes across the nation. RegioJet frequently provides services to off-the-beaten-path destinations that FlixBus and Eurolines don't offer services to. 

Popular international routes by bus

Buses in the Czech Republic provide connections to nearly all European capitals and major cities throughout. FlixBus and Eurolines are known for providing a seamless international travel experience from country to country, with short waiting times between connections. Although RegioJet is mostly used for its intercity service in the Czech Republic, it also provides direct services to some European capitals, including London, Vienna, Geneva, and Bratislava. 

Passengers can find bus connections departing from Prague to Germany, Austria, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Ukraine, Holland, France, Croatia, Italy, and even the United Kingdom. The Czech Republic has very good connections with almost all European countries. Often, bus services are the cheapest way to travel in Europe. 

When arriving

Travelers who visit the Czech Republic from other countries in Europe's Schengen Zone will not need to prepare a visa before arrival. There are 26 Schengen Zone countries in Europe. It's useful to know which countries are included in this group, especially before longer stays in Europe.

The Czech Republic is a relatively safe destination for travelers. Like in many areas, pickpocketing can be an issue, particularly in major urban centers such as Prague. 

Travelers are advised to make use of the Czech Republic's fantastic public transport facilities. Frequently, taxis are overpriced. The equivalent metro and bus service are usually affordable, clean, and efficient. 

The best time to travel to the Czech Republic is the summer, which brings the best weather. However, winters in the country's cities and mountains are strikingly beautiful.
