Roads in the Czech Republic are generally of a good standard, with motorway services connecting the country – ‘season tickets’ must be obtained for motorway driving, and they can be purchased to last either a year or ten days depending on what is required. Public transport in the country is regarded as excellent in most regards, with a comprehensive bus service operating out of all towns and cities and travelling all over the nation – including many places that trains do not cover. Travel by bus is generally considered to be better than by train, as services are faster and more comfortable. Bus timetables are available at: http://www.vlak-bus.cz/ Metro services are available in Prague, along with tram, trolleybus and taxi services – the last three are available in larger towns and cities. The Czech Republic’s rail network is incredibly comprehensive – one of the best in the region, it has been said. Trains are reliable, safe, cover most of the country and offer good value for money (though prices have been rising consistently over the last few years). A number of European rail cards are accepted, including InterRail and EuroDomino passes. It is recommended that reservations are made in advance for journeys along major routes, just to be on the safe side. Internal flights are available to destinations throughout the Czech Republic, with services operated by Czech Airlines on a regular basis. There are certain ferry services available on the rivers in the country, with the main ports located in Prague, stí nad Labem and Decín.
