How to book

Book on regiojet.com or in the free RegioJet app. Tickets open up to 90 days ahead. Pay by card and keep the ticket in the app.

You can change or cancel many fares in the app up to 15 minutes before departure. Exchange rules depend on the fare type, so read the conditions.

For Budapest, choose Budapest-Déli pu. rather than the general Budapest option, which can default to Kelenföld station outside the centre.

Tips for travellers

Relax and Business carriages have fewer seats and are quieter, which suits families and older travellers. Low cost is the cheapest but has the fewest services.

RegioJet tickets are only valid on RegioJet trains. They are not valid on ČD or ÖBB trains on the same route.

RegioJet lounges at Prague main station and Vienna Hbf can be used for up to an hour before departure.

Last checked: October 2026. Fares and timetables change, so confirm on the official website before you travel.
