Transportation

You can get to Olomouc and back from Praha by train for only 450 CZK – buy the ticket “SONE+”, which can be used for one person, or two adults travelling together.

If you come in a larger group (three to five adults), buy the ticket “ČD Net” for 900 CZK – that will get up to five people to Olomouc and back.

Why not come to Olomouc a little earlier and see some of the historic centre of Olomouc? You all know Vaclavske Namesti in Praha, but for a more peaceful experience, visit Vaclavske Namesti in Olomouc (there you will find the Archbishop's Museum, and the cathedral). Then walk on to Horni Namesti and see Olomouc's astronomical clock.
