Buses from Prague to Vienna are a good alternative to trains and flights between the Czech Republic and Austria.
A number of companies offer bus services between these two European cities, including Student Agency, CK Shuttle, Bean Shuttle, and Lobo.
Each one runs buses from Prague to Vienna on a daily basis. Services leave up to seven times a day. Some have scheduled stops in Cesky Krumlov en route to the Austrian capital, while other services travel directly there.
The types of buses that are operated between the two cities range from shuttles to coaches. The Czech company Student Agency is known for its modern, clean coaches and for offering complimentary drinks and newspapers to passengers. On the other end of the size spectrum, Bean Shuttle, CK Shuttle, and Lobo are known for their small, comfortable vans.
The journey time on this route ranges from 4.5 to 6 hours, but travel times can vary depending on whether there is traffic and if services have stops in Cesky Krumlov on the way.
One-way tickets on buses from Prague to Vienna vary in cost by what company you go with. Ticket fares start from 18 euros one-way with Student Agency and 78 euros one-way with CK Shuttle. Some companies offer discounts for groups, students, and bookings made online.
