Leaving our place in Prague, we took two Uber rides to the train station.

The Czech Republic is so inexpensive. Beer for $2 or less and dinners for all 5 of us for less than $60 is one thing, but the train for all 5 of us to Pilsen in 2nd class seating cost $15 in total — the kids’ tickets cost just $2 each! In comparison, the five of us split up and took two 7-minute Uber car rides to the train station for $8 each.

We got to Pilsen later than expected – 2.5 hours vs 1.5 hours – due to a non-fatal train-car collision ahead of us. Thankfully, our hotel is just a 4-minute walk from the station.

We checked into the hotel, dropped off our luggage and made it in time for our 1pm brewery tour at Pilsner Urquell, which is just across the street.
