Hi everyone!
I recently informed you that Prague, the capital of my beautiful homeland, the Czech Republic, now has direct flights to Philadelphia with American Airlines in this post and today, I am coming with another great news for all Czech (and German) travelers.

Czech Transport Minister and his German counterpart are close to signing an agreement about a huge, joint construction of a high-speed railway with over 26 km (16 mi) long tunnel connecting the German city of Dresden and the Czech capital Prague. Once the new railway is finished, the trains are expected to go as fast as over 350 km (218 mi) per hour, thus reducing the time from current 2 hours and 15 minutes to only 52 minutes!

It is needless to say this ambitious project will cost a lot of money (probably hundreds of millions Euros) but the costs will be shared by both countries. The second largest city of the German state of Saxony, Dresden is a popular tourist destination known for numerous architectural jewels so the possibility to be there from Prague in less than an hour will certainly be appreciated by many Czech (and foreign) travelers.
Please feel free to check out some of my other recent posts.
