Omio and České dráhy announce strategic partnership, elevating European cross-border train travel options

České dráhy's cross-border and domestic trains are now available to Omio customers, strengthening Omio's position as the go-to platform for multi-modal European travel

BERLIN, Sept. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Omio, the leading global multi-modal travel booking platform, and České dráhy, the National Czech Railway operator, today announced a significant partnership. This collaboration creates the opportunity for Omio travellers to book České dráhy services, including Regio, InterCity (IC) and EuroCity (EC) long-distance routes, plus high-speed train options (Railjet/Comfortjet). The addition of České dráhy's comprehensive inventory from this September bolsters Omio's unmatched position as the multimodal leader in European transportation and beyond. Omio is an important distribution partner that offers the complete range of České dráhy routes.

Providing international and local travellers with greater choice and value for their European train journeys, the supply partnership enables seamless cross-border connections to Germany (Berlin, Dresden, Munich), Austria (Vienna, Linz, Graz), Switzerland (Zurich), Slovakia (Bratislava, Košice), Hungary (Budapest), and Poland (Warsaw, Krakow, Katowice), and access to domestic routes, including Prague, Brno, Ostrava, Plzeň, and Český Krumlov. This is ideal for tourists visiting the capital and exploring the country's hidden gems, as well as providing a convenient booking alternative for Czech commuters. Omio data shows increased demand – especially from an international audience – for the cross-border connections offered by České dráhy.

Veronica Diquattro, President B2C and Supply, Europe, Omio says:

"This partnership marks a major milestone for Omio and is a key piece of the puzzle for a complete European multimodal offering. International travellers now have even more seamless access and choice to explore the continent by train, further enhancing their travel experience."

Through this partnership, we are opening up to a wider group of customers and making it easier for them to plan and carry out their journeys both within the Czech Republic and abroad. Our shared goal is to promote train travel as a modern, eco-friendly, and user-friendly mode of transportation across Europe."
