Though you'll generally save only the equivalent of around €5 by booking these tickets - not because they don't offer a good deal, but because train tickets are comparatively inexpensive in Czechia/The Czech Republic.
Our general guide to Czech train tickets is available here - and we have also published a guide to booking tickets on the CD website.

Good to Know
This train also calls at Praha-Smichov station after it has departed from Praha hl.n. station.
The quickest end-to-end journey from Prague city centre is take a Line B Metro to its Smíchovské nádraží station where transfers are available to Praha-Smichov.
Praha-Smichov station is a functional rather than a beautiful station, but the transfer from the metro there isn't any more awkward than at Praha hl.n.
Though if you do opt to join the train at Praha-Smichov we recommend opting to add a complimentary reservation when booking tickets on the CD website.
The train will inevitably be busier when it arrives at Praha-Smichov, having already picked up passengers at Praha hl.n.
