Hello Diane

No need to Google. You can ask here on TravelBlog. ;)

I would take whichever option has the special offers of the moment.

Car rental is quite expensive. You could try being a paying passanger with somebody who is driving to Prague. www.mitfahrzentrale.de finds paying passangers for people wanting to make car journeys. The prices are good and I am sure they can drop you someplace in the countryside rather than taking you all the way to Prague.

You could search Deutsche Bahn for special offer train ticket. You can go on the night train from a destination in Germany to a city in Europe for as little as 39 Euros on the night train. But you have to buy in advance and get lucky to go for this price so start searching now. You could hop out of the train at one of the small towns the train stops at before Prague if you are not interested in spending time in Prague.

Check out Condor and German wings websites for special offer flights to Prague. Then you could take a short train ride out to the countryside from Prague. Maybe even the last subway stop out of the city will be countryside enough for you? Maybe somebody here who is more familiar with Prague can give details about this. Also, maybe there are people who can suggest more airlines that offer good prices.

You could also try bus companies like the following who offer good prices to get you to Prague. Maybe they will even let you out before you get to Prague. www.berlinlinienbus.de It is particularly good if you are travelling with kids because they travel for free. Maybe somebody else here can suggest some more bus companies.

Hello,

If you plan to travel also in Czech Republic I do not recommend you to use train - it is ussually slower and more expensive than bus and less comfortable. For travelling from Prague use www.studentagency.cz (you do not have to be a student) - they have yellow modern busses and you can buy here also cheap air tickets...
