The city’s leading art museum in a noble palace, showing European works from medieval painting to the nineteenth century in elegant historic rooms.
A major modern and contemporary art venue with Czech and international works. The trade fair palace setting suits large exhibitions and bold installations.
A private museum focused on Czech and central European modern art. It combines strong permanent displays with temporary exhibitions in a central location.
The heart of historic Prague, filled with merchant houses, churches and lively public space. It is ideal for first-time visitors and evening atmosphere.
A broad boulevard of shops, hotels and major buildings. It is a useful base for city walks and an important setting in modern Czech history.
A landscaped hilltop park with orchards, paths and one of Prague’s finest sunset views. It feels local, relaxed and well away from the busiest crowds.
Slow-braised beef in a creamy root-vegetable sauce, usually with bread dumplings. A classic Czech Sunday dish strongly associated with Bohemian home cooking.
Roast pork with sauerkraut and bread or potato dumplings. It is one of the most traditional hearty Czech pub and family meals.
Goulash in the Czech style, usually beef, onions and paprika, often served with bread dumplings. A staple of Prague pubs and traditional kitchens.
Stylish restaurant focused on updated Czech cuisine and Czech wines, with a polished but relaxed atmosphere close to the city centre.

Taking the train from Prague to Brno is quick with regular services. RegioJet and Czech Railway (Ceske Drahy) offer almost 100 services every day between the two Czech cities. Almost all run direct to central Prague, and journey times average around three hours.
The Brno to Prague route is extremely well served by RegioJet and Czech Railways. Trains leave early, with the first daily service leaving shortly before 3:30 a.m., and run until just before 10:00 p.m. In between, expect almost 60-80 direct services and a variety of routes with a single change.
Travellers choosing direct trains from Brno to Prague can expect journey times ranging from two hours 27 minutes to three hours 36 minutes. Durations increase a little when a single change is involved, but these services still only take a little over three hours in some cases.
Departure train stations: most trains from Brno to Prague depart from Brno's Hlavni nadrazi, which is in the eastern city centre. Walking from central locations is a good option, and the station hosts shops and cafes, help desks, toilets, and other essential services. Some trains run from Zidenice in north-eastern Brno. Trams reach there from the city centre in under 10 minutes.
Arrival train stations: most trains from Brno run to Prague's Hlavni nadrazi, a large modern station with all major amenities. From there, metro and bus links make reaching the centre easy. Other trains run to Liben in eastern Prague, which is about seven minutes from the centre via suburban trains.
A couple of rail operators offer trains from Brno to Prague. The most prolific operator is Czech Railway, which runs at least one train per hour from Brno Hlavni nadrazi. RegioJet is a good alternative, scheduling direct trains every day.
Czech Railway is the main operator, offering over 40 daily connections with no changes. Journey times range from two hours 27 minutes to three hours 34 minutes.
RegioJet offers 20-25 direct trains from Brno to Prague daily, including many early departures. Journey times vary from two hours 27 minutes to two hours 39 minutes, so may be slightly faster than Czech Railway. Services run from Zidenice and Brno Hlavni nadrazi, and run into Prague Hlavni nadrazi.
RegioJet classes range from Business to "Relax", Standard, and "Low Cost", with varying levels of comfort. Czech Railway provides First-Class, with personal service and extra lounge space. Luggage measuring less than 90 x 60 x 40 cm can be taken free of charge on Czech Railway, but fees apply for larger cases, while RegioJet allows one larger item to be taken free of charge. Bike storage incurs fees on both railways, and bikes need to be covered to avoid damaging other luggage. In both cases, smaller pets travel free (in suitable containers), but larger pets entail small fees. Wheelchair users are advised to contact companies before travelling.
When booking trains from Brno to Prague, arranging travel in advance can deliver big savings, so avoid purchasing tickets a couple of days before departure. Sacrificing a bit of leg room and opting for the carrier's "Low Cost" seats is also a big money saver.
