Would you like to explore Czechia and Europe by train or by bus?

Buying a rail pass in advance will save you the hassle of buying tickets each time you want to board a train. The Eurail Pass will allow you to travel around most of European countries on nearly all railroads. The rail pass is available in several variants. Eurail offers global and one-country passes. The price depends on the period of validity; flexible variants are also available. Eurail passes should be ordered by residents of non-European countries (where Europe is understood as the whole continent, and not only the European Union).
Residents of countries on the European continent should order Interrail Passes. These passes work in the same way as Eurail passes and are operated by the same parent company. They’re also valid in the same 31 countries. The main difference is the pricing. The passes can be ordered for flexible periods, e.g. only 10 days within 2 months, which means you don’t need to pay for the time when you don’t use any trains. You also get access to selected ferry lines. Compare all the options and book your Interrail pass here.
If you like to travel by bus, Flixbus has a very interesting offer. Their Interflix tickets allow you to discover 5 European cities for only EUR 99.
