Historic trains, nostalgic buses and a colourful family programme: Prague Transport Children’s Day will once again transform Praha-Braník railway station into a major celebration for transport enthusiasts of all ages at the end of May. Visitors can look forward to numerous special services and attractions centred around railways and public transport.

This year’s Prague Transport Children’s Day (Pražský dopravní den dětí) will take place at Praha-Braník railway station on Saturday, 30 May 2026. The event runs from 9:30am to 5:00pm and offers an extensive programme for families, railway enthusiasts and fans of historic vehicles.

One of the main attractions will be the historic steam locomotive “Všudybylka” (354.195). The traditional locomotive will operate a total of six services between Praha-Braník and Praha-Zbraslav. The final journey will continue onwards to Vrané nad Vltavou. The first departure leaves Braník as early as 9:26am, while the final special service towards Vrané nad Vltavou is scheduled for 4:33pm.
