Fast and comfortable travel over long distances across the Czech Republic is offered by InterCity (IC) trains, and to foreign destinations by EuroCity (EC) trains. The network of EC and IC trains interconnects all of Europe and they stop at only the most important stations. These trains offer travel in 1st and 2nd carriage class as well as optional seat reservations. The trains are able to transport bicycles, prams and strollers, as well as other bulky luggage. You can purchase refreshments in the restaurant or bistro carriage, or by using the in-seat service. In 1st class, we provide a bottle of water and the daily press free of charge. Some IC and EC trains are commissioned and co-financed by the Ministry of Transport of the Czech Republic, while others have not been commissioned and are co-financed at ČD’s own commercial risk.
