Waiting rooms and areas for passengers

At selected stations you can wait for your train in a waiting area. They are situated in closed rooms, furnished with seats, and they allow you to comfortably pass the time until your train arrives.

ČD waiting rooms are enclosed areas which you can enter only with a valid travel document. They generally have limited opening hours, which are posted at the entrances. You can find an overview of stations equipped with waiting rooms in the List of Stations, including their opening hours. Smoking is not permitted in waiting rooms, on trains or in other ČD premises.
