Holidays from the station

The editorial Car-free score in Stay DNA rates how easily you can reach a place by public transport and then get around once you are there. Here are the places with the highest scores, and their limits.

1. Prague – 10/10

It goes without saying. The main station, the metro, the trams.

2. Třeboň – 7/10

A direct fast train from Prague (since 2019), two stations in town, bike hire at the station. The limit: the villages round about. Třeboň without a car

3. Český Krumlov – 8/10

A train from České Budějovice on line 194. The limit: the station is above the town, about twenty minutes’ walk downhill to the centre.

4. The Karlovy Vary region – 7/10

The spa towns are linked by trains and buses. The limit: the Ore Mountains (Krušné hory).

5. Western Krkonoše – 6/10

The Pojizerský Pacifik to Rokytnice, the Zubačka rack railway to Harrachov. The limit: getting up to the ridges means a bus or walking.
