It's quite common for dogs and other pets to travel on trains in the Czech Republic.

Small animals in a carry basket or cage travel free of charge. A supplemental fare of 15-30Kc applies for larger dogs. They must wear a muzzle, be on a leash and may not ride on the seats.

The Czech Republic is a very dog friendly place. I'm sure you won't have any problems.

What about dog travel on trains? I'm moving to CR this summer and looking forward to all I can do with my dog. Thanks.

Glad to hear it, Andi. I also wrote quite a bit of the Wikitravel article about Olomouc, so maybe that might be helpful too, if you've not seen it already?

Andy, the 600Kc In-Karta is a discount card that entitles you to cheaper train tickets. It does NOT entitle you to free train travel, and would not pay for itself for one trip Prague-Olomouc-Krakow.

I think the normal tickets with the group discount are the best choice for you, unless you're planning to spend several months in the Czech Republic?

On the Olomouc-Krakow leg, you should be entitled to the group discount as far as the border.

Thanks for your comment. Please let me know how it works out for you...

Thanks for the usefule information!

But I have a question: I want to go from Praha to olomouc and from olomouc to Krakow by train.

Does the 600korunyi-for-3-years-ticket ork for the trip from olomouc to krakow as well?

If yes that would be the best option for me, otherwise I'll take the usual tickets with group discounts.

Yep, that's the one! I couldn't for the life of m...

Yep, that's the one! I couldn't for the life of me remember the name, though - maybe I should lay off those drinks for a while ;)

Cool, that's the SONE+ ticket. I've just rewritten the post to include the info about towns across the border.

How many drinks is that I owe you now...? :-)

Just weekends and you had to come back the same day. They were advertised in the station and got you as far west as Dresden and all the way up to Gorlitz from Liberec.
As far as I recall, the map included the whole of North Bohemia (Usti Nad Labem definitely).

Thanks mate. Maybe I could get an EU grant for promoting tourism to lesser-known regions of the Czech Republic or something? Or maybe one day I'll earn enough from google ads to buy a cup of coffee?

Those cross-border tickets, were they all week or just on the weekends?

2008-04-21T20:03:00.000+02:00

By the way, when I was in Liberec they had a great border trains ticket that got you to Dresden and back for 120 crowns on a day-return. Not sure if they still have them, but something to ask about.

You should be paid for this (and not in Kofala either).
Great stuff.
