The train from Hlanvi Nadrazi would be your cheapest option. |

Hi Mandi,
The train would be an excellent way to travel, as mentioned. However, you will then need to get around in Wien. I recommend car.
There are two routes; slow and quick. The slow route takes you via some beautiful scenery meandering through the hills. From Praha, go down through Tabor (side trip to Ceske Budejovice is advised) to Horn, Austria. You will love this drive but be advised, it is two lane and there are trucks on it.
For high speed travel, take E65 to Brno and then to Bratislava. Bratislava has a quaint old town and people really get out and enjoy life there. From Bratislava, west to Wien. This route was interesting to me as I ran into Marilyn Manson in May of last year at the autobahnstation east of Wien on, I think it was, A4.
You will love the trip whether by train or car. Have fun!
Best regards,
Randy Kasal |

Why would anyone suggest a car to get around in Vienna... between all of the U-Bahn (metro), S-Bahn, Trams, Surface rail lines, and busses?
There is virtually no place in Vienna that can't be reached quickly, cheaply and conveniently by public transportation. Weigh that against the fun of finding a parking place.
If you are going to the suburbs, then maybe a car would be better. But, for a quick visit to see the sights, it's a silly idea. |

Well, I think your suggestions as to how she should get around in Wien are perfect once she magically transports herself there from Praha as you neglected to answer her question. Of course, she could fly, but train is certainly the least expensive option and car is a way to see various sites at her leisure.
Regards,

Sorry I didn't make it clear. The first line should have been, "Why would anyone suggest DRIVING to Vienna...".
The train is certainly the most comfortable way to get there (imho), but it isn't much faster (Pendolino) than the bus, and the normal trains take a few minutes longer on the schedule. The bus is usually a good bit cheaper, as well. And if you are really interested in seeing the scenery, the bus gives you the same show as you'd get in a car, and the train takes you through some beautiful hills and valleys and small towns.
Either way, enjoy. The Christmas Markets should be up and running by then. |

One more vote for the train. There are several daily, check http://jizdnirady.idnes.cz/vlakyautobusy/spojeni/
The trip is ~4-5 hours, which is pretty painful on a bus but fine on a train where you can walk around, and grab a coffee or a beer.
As already pointed out Vienna has excellent public transport, getting around once you're there is easy. |

MMMM isn't student agency buses the cheapest option. Aren't they like 500 CZK round trip or something like that. |

I don't think that hiring a car is such a bad option. Train is ok if the main task is to get from point A to point B, but if you want also to see some places in the way then it's definitely better to hire a car. |

Eastern Europe boasts some of the quickest growing cities and the most lively nightlife on the European continent. Prague and Vienna hold the fascinating blend of static history and Eastern Europe's addiction to hyper-modernism. |
