We understand that travelling from all over Europe is a very complicated process and we acknowledge how important convenience, cost, and safety are in your consideration.  

That being said, we also want to acknowledge the environmental costs of all that travelling. While travel is essential and should not be the priority in reducing global carbon emissions, we often tend to ignore the scale of the problem. For example, aviation contributes around 2.4% of the worldwide carbon emissions. For scale, if it was a country it would be the 5th worst emitter, right after Japan. Trains on average emit 80% less carbon than planes, and even less on high-speed, high-capacity railway corridors like the French TGV or Japanese Shinkansen. Buses are usually 30% more efficient than planes.  

With that in mind, we encourage you to travel greener by choosing to follow the subsequent recommendations:  

• Take a train for distances shorter than 10 hours.  
• Choose direct flights to Prague from your destination.  
• Limit other emission-producing activities. Do not pack too much stuff, fill a reusable bottle with tea instead of getting a bottled one, share a taxi to the airport, and combine multiple travels.
