-My journey from Prague to Vienna on the ÖBB Railjet RJ 73 was really pleasant and relaxed. As soon as I boarded in Prague, I noticed the modern and clean train. The seats were comfortable, with plenty of legroom, and I was able to stow my luggage without any problems. During the journey, I had a great view of the varied landscape between the Czech Republic and Austria - from rolling hills to small villages and rivers.
There was a calm, pleasant atmosphere on the train. Many passengers used the time to read or work, while others simply enjoyed the view out of the window. I found the free wifi and power sockets at every seat particularly practical. I was also impressed by the on-board restaurant: the selection was good, the staff were friendly and the coffee was delicious.

Train often very full in PraguePartly chaos with seat occupancyI travelled from Prague to Vienna on the RJ 257 - a pleasant connection, but with a few drawbacks. The train was quite full when I boarded in Prague - no wonder, coming from Berlin. Without a reservation I would probably have had to look for a seat for longer - so it's highly recommended to book a seat in advance. Otherwise: train was clean, quiet, wifi worked, seats comfortable. Journey time is ok, about 4-5 hours. It was a bit annoying that some people sat in other people's seats despite having a reservation. Nevertheless: Good connection, but without a reservation it can be stressful.

Would be better if you could set the volume of children's films in the children's section yourselfI have nothing else to criticiseCould pay more attention to punctualityI went on holiday to Prague with my family and travelled there and back by train. It's the best option for us. Very comfortable. As we have a small child, we travelled in the children's carriage. The child had enough space to run and play and could also watch Czech films for children. Some of the films were played in Czech, some even in English or German.

Changeover requirementsPriceComfortMy journey from Prague to Vienna turned out to be a good one. The staff were very friendly, polite, respectful and they always responded to my concerns and interests. The train also arrived in Vienna on time. Hygiene was taken into consideration, as the toilets were very clean and well maintained. However, there were several changes that made the journey more difficult. Personally, I found the price to be a little on the expensive side. Also, the seats were not comfortable and well maintained. Overall though, a good journey.

VolumeWifi connectionPriceMy journey from Prague to Vienna was pretty good. Firstly, the courteous staff should be emphasised, as they were very nice and friendly and treated their guests very well. The train also arrived in Vienna on time. Attention was always paid to hygiene, as the toilets were clean and well maintained. The seats were also very comfortable and cosy. However, the volume was not adequate and the wifi connection was not efficient and was rather slow. Also, the price was a bit expensive. But overall a pretty good trip.
Advantages
Good free wifiSmooth rideTrain hygienicDisadvantages
The arrival was a little lateIt was very easy to book the tickets from Prague to Vienna online. I booked seat 18 in carriage 3. As always, the journey was very smooth and the staff were very nice and chatty. The train was relatively clean inside, but the toilets are not very hygienic. The train left Prague on time and I didn't have to change trains to Prague once. The journey took a little longer on average (as I travelled via the city of Brno) at around six hours. It was quiet inside the train. The free power sockets and free wifi worked very well. As always, the price-performance ratio is very good!
