Prague’s Main Railway Station

Transport → Prague’s Main Railway Station

Prague’s Main Railway Station is the largest railway terminal in the Czech Republic, where regional, national and international trains are dispatched daily (e.g. to Austria, Germany, Switzerland, etc.). For international railway lines, Prague usually serves as the terminus station. Prague’s biggest railway station is a ten-minute walk from Wenceslas Square and the Hlavní nádraží metro station (Line C – red line) is situated right in the main terminal building. The train station features a lot of shops, refreshment stalls as well as showers, exchange offices and a luggage storage. The top floor houses perhaps the most interesting restaurant in the complex – Fanta’s Café with a high ceiling and Art Nouveau decorations. In the lower part of the building are information and ticket offices, where passengers can buy train and public transport tickets. Payment in Euros is possible. The Vrchlický Park spreads out in front of the train station, which, however, isn’t very safe, as there are often homeless people and drug addicts.
