Bohemian Lines Bus from Copenhagen to Prague

Overnight bus between Copenhagen and Prague

Czech company Bohemian Lines operates buses between (Sweden and) Denmark and the Czech Republic. In Denmark the buses stop in Copenhagen and Nykøbing; in the Czech Republic they stop in Prague and Brno.

There are usually two pairs of buses every week – at the time of writing this article the departures are on Tuesday and Sunday from Copenhagen and on Monday and Friday from Brno and Prague.

Copenhagen bus stop in Ingerslevsgade

In Copenhagen many international long distance buses, including Bohemian Lines buses to Prague, stop in Ingerslevsgade (street name) next to DGI Byen. There is no terminal building, only few signs with schedules, so don’t be surprised if you can’t find the “station”.

The bus stop in Ingerslevsgade is located very close (200m) to the main train station (København H) and close to Tivoli, from which it is separated only with a bridge over tracks. You can easily get to København H with a variety of S-trains and buses from all parts of Copenhagen and Sjælland.

Nykøbing stop

Shortly before the bus leaves Denmark, it stops in a small city of Nykøbing on the Falster island. The stop in Nykøbing is located in front of the railway station.

Ferry from Gedser to Rostock

In Gedser the bus boards a ferry to Rostock in Germany. While on the ferry, all passengers are requested to leave the bus for safety reasons. But the ships are big and offer variety of shops and restaurants where you can spend the two hours.

Prague Florenc station

The stop in Prague is close to the city centre at the main long distance bus terminal Praha-Florenc. It is only about 15 minutes walk to the Old Town and even less many of Prague’s hotels. Florenc is an important hub of Prague public transport network with numerous bus and tram lines and the crossing or metro lines B and C.
