Czech Republic is a nice country to drive through, as main cities are connected with good motorways or highways. Czech drivers are generally skilled and polite, so nothing will stop you from enjoying driving. Even if main motorways enter Prague, you will not enjoy passing the capital city, as it doesn't have a complete ring road. That's why our advice is to schedule your Prague crossing outside rush hours, in order to save time and gas.

Speed limits are 50 km/h in cities, 90 km/h outside cities and 130 km/h on motorways. It is compulsory to drive with headlights on at all times. In order to drive on motorways, you have to buy a vignette and display it on the windshield. There are no tollbooths on the motorway. You can find this sticker in gas stations, post offices and sometimes at border crossings.

The trains are the best means of transportation in Czech Republic. The network is very well developed. Trains link major cities even during off-peak hours, when buses are very rare. Train speed is very high for the main sections of the railway network, but may decrease a lot on secondary sections that are not modernised yet. The basic price for a train ticket is double than the price for a bus on the same route, but trains have a complicated discount system that brings you major savings if  you understand it and use it properly.
