Getting There
Cheb is located on the E48, one of the main highways leading to Germany. If you're driving from Prague, take the same route you would to Karlovy Vary, which eventually brings you to Cheb. The drive takes about 2 hours.
To get to Frantiskovy Lázne from Cheb by car, take Hwy. E49. The trip takes about 20 minutes.
Express trains heading due west from Prague usually stop in Cheb, as do several trains daily from Karlovy Vary. Cheb is on a main train route of the Czech Republic, so it's easy to catch international connections here. The train from Prague takes around 4 hours and costs 356Kc second class.
While it's a long bus ride (around 4 hr.), several buses do make the trip daily to Cheb from Prague's Florenc bus station. The price is around 250Kc.
