A direct cross-border ride into Poland's historic city, no need to change trains at the border. Linking Prague and Krakow in one trip is an easy add-on that many Central Europe itineraries miss.

About 9 hours 43 minutes, ideal for travelers who enjoy a long scenic ride between Prague and Warsaw. The route passes through Krakow, so it can also be split into two legs with an overnight stop for a more relaxed pace.

About 5 hours 56 minutes, connecting the Czech and Slovak capitals. Bratislava sits close to Vienna, so riding Leo Express to Bratislava opens the door to extending the trip into Austria, a worthwhile stop for anyone planning a Prague to Vienna itinerary.

Premium offers only six seats in a quiet, separate section, with adjustable leather seats for sleeping, a power socket and table at every seat, included drinks and a Premium menu, priority service and blankets on request.

Business is available on every train, with a separate section, leather seats, power sockets, tables, included drinks and priority service.

Economy Plus suits travelers looking for the best value, with ergonomic leather seats, a power socket at every seat, a laptop-friendly desk, and extra storage on selected seats.

Economy keeps things affordable, with a small table and a 240V socket at every seat, hot and cold drinks for purchase, and a kids' zone in carriage A.

All classes include free WiFi, air conditioning and low-floor boarding.

Beyond the basics, the kids' zone comes with Leo Express's own mascot, Lexi the cat conductor, who keeps young travelers entertained along the way. Free crayons and coloring books are provided onboard, along with a dedicated kids' menu, so the ride never gets boring. No seat reservation is needed for kids to join in.

Eurail and Interrail Pass holders can book a Leo Express seat reservation without buying a separate ticket. Tickets are refundable before departure (excluding promo fares), so a Prague-based Central Europe itinerary can change without penalty.
