As for the price, basic single ticket cost 40 EUR, if you travel in Pendolino, there is extra charge for obligatory reservation (8 EUR). And here is the timetable of trains Prague – Vienna.

I go to Vienna, Prague and Berlin in the end of July, Is there places availables on train if i buy tickets the day i am taking the train?

Is it possible to get places whitout reservation…buy the tickets at the train station the same days i am leaving?

Thanks

Francois:
Yes, I think there will be places. And you can buy the tickets without reservation – unless it is pendolino (in this case it is obligatory).
