The České Budějovice train station (freight station) is the third stop of the Legionary Train on its journey through the cities of the Czech Republic this year. The Legiovlak in České Budějovice will be open to the general public free of charge from Tuesday 21 April until Sunday 3 May 2026, from 8 am to 6 pm on weekdays and from 9 am to 7 pm on weekends.

The Legi train consists of 14 reconstructed carriages representing a military echelon. These trains transported tens of thousands of Czechoslovak Legionnaires across Russia on the Trans-Siberian Railway between 1918 and 1920, often having to fight the Bolsheviks to get through. The Legion train consists of field mail, telegraph, medical, film, command, staff, armoured, sales, tailoring, blacksmith (reconstructed in Slovakia), accommodation and two flat cars. In all the wagons, visitors will find faithful reconstructions of equipment, legionnaires in period uniforms, as well as original exhibits and several hundred photographs on panels mapping the history of the Czechoslovak Legions.

Guided tours for the public are held on weekdays from 14:00, and on weekends every hour. School groups can book a guided tour via the web form.
