To say that the trains depart every 2 hours is not good enough. What we need is the timetable,

We are looking to stop off in Bratislava for 1/2 a day or a full day on our way from Budapest to Prague in a couple of weeks.

I am wondering if there is a Sleeper train from Bratislava to Prague overnight as this would be our prefered option.

Also I am worried that if I don't book in advance the price will be too expensive. Is it possible to book online, and how? Will the price be the same as if I book on the day?

Hi Ali,

check this link for you train http://tinyurl.com/ouse2c3

The difference is that the Slovak webpage does not sell tickets online (for some peculiar reasons)

Thanks so much for your rapid response Samuel,

That link is for Prague->Bratislava. I switched it around and it says sold out, so I think we will have to take a train during the day. Do we need to buy 2 tickets, or can we just buy ticket from Budapest to Prague and stop in Bratislava for 8 hours?

...

Hi Ali,

I'm afraid you will have to buy 2 tickets. You can also consider travelling to Prague by bus.

Perfect - I think we will do that.

Final question- My wife is a student (in the UK). Is it true she doesn't need a ticket as I heard students travel for free on trains in Czech Republic and Slovakia. What documentation does she need to bring?
