Taxi use in the Czech in general is much cheaper then western Europe standard and very useful when needed to take short ride in the city. However, of course you should be careful not to let some drivers to scam you and double charge you for the trip.
I have been using many times Prague airport as well as smaller airport as Ostrava for domestic flights or fast connection to Vienna. Prague airport is also operate as gateway between Nordic and Southern countries in Europe.
We made the trip from Zwiezel, in Germany, to Prague by train. The second leg of the trip, from Klatovy was made in a modern train, with all the conditions and respect for scheduling. But the first leg was... special. In the border, crossed on foot carrying the bags in the grey freezing morning, we took a small train, with two carriages, only one of them heated. The train followed slowly, stopping quite often, to exchange people carrying skis. At one of those stops, my friends went out to smoke. After a few moments I noticed that the controller of the train, was standing behind them, with crossed arms, just... waiting for them to finish the cigarettes. Having no idea of the language spoken by those strange foreigners, he didn't even try to use signals. Just wait. After my warning, everything ended in big smiles, and the train could finally proceed. But it was a funny scene: the 3...
1) Berlin is much closer to Praha than Munich2) It is much cheaper to get from Munich to Praha without advance reservations and similar headaches than from Berlin.The reason for that is that all direct trains from Berlin to Praha are Eurocity trains and the Länderticket is not valid on EC train. Besides, if you would chose the slower trains than you will need to buy two Ländertickets.On the other hand the entire Munich (airport) or Munich (man station) -> Praha can be done pleasantly in any train because the direct trains in question are all qualified as "local" trains in Germany and you won't leave Bavaria till you enter Czech Republic.From Munich I would not chose bus because train is more comfortable and with either Länderticket or with Bayern-Böhmen-ticket is cheaper, too.The price is around 30 Euro if you do it right:1) At the airport or at the station buy "Bayern-Böhmen Ticket...
The little trick (besides what was already being said) is NOT to buy the full ticket.This sounds probably very gruesome for many - but this is what we do with Czech tickets.The only ticket you should buy is a Vienna-Breclav(GR) ticket, precisely like that.The regular price for it is 20 Euro / person. It is not even considered to be cheap because the distance is only 98 km.Once on the other side of the "fence", the situation is much easier. You have to have about 13 Euros and pay 296 Czech Crowns/person (or the same amount in Euro) to the Czech conductor. There is no penalty for buying the ticket from the Czech conductor on the train.If you are more than one person you should even get a discount!Write down this magic sentence:"Skupinová sleva"With that your wife will get 25% off of the tariff. That is, you pay 296 Crowns, your wife pays 222 Crowns. Total is 518 Crowns for two or 20.67...

I don't wonder, why there are so many serious crash accidants on the highways. Drivers don't axcept the speed limit 130 km/h / 81 mph. Many times driving a car by this speed I was overtaken. Why? What do other drivers want to say? - Let me go, because my car is better - or - Let me go, because I don't have time?
