There are several possible ways how to travel to Pardubice: Public transportation There are at least two possibilities how to reach Pardubice by train. First, the fastest one, is to use a Pendolino Supercity train, which departs from Railway station Holešovice (Nádraží Holešovice). The second one is to use maybe less comfortable and a bit slower Eurocity or Intercity train, which departs usually from the station Prague, main railway station (Praha, Hlavní nádraží). o Pendolino train For the quickest transport to train stations we recommend using the Airport Express, which is timed to tie in with arrivals and departures of all SC Pendolino, Eurocity and Intercity trains.
