I've traveled this route more times than I can count. However, I don't understand your question. Are you planning a day trip to Dresden from Prague? (Which would be quite easy, as there are numerous train departures each day between both cities). Are you talking about the train ride itself? If so, it's about 3 hours in length and is probably the most scenic in Germany after the train ride along the Rhein between Mainz and Koblenz.

Why?
Worst GUI and a lot of useless settings you have to set before you get an Connection?

Thank-you for all the replies,but I don't think it will now be possible,I fly in to Prague on a Sunday morning,then have to get to train station,by which time the only train is 3 hours,and 2 changes,so will not give me enough time,is there anywhere else to visit from Prague in a day?Flying back Monday night.

For up-to-date information I would always use the operating company's site.

I have several times thought of doing a day trip from Prague but have given it up every time because the transport was going to take too long and departures didn't suit me... and because I wasn't really very interested in the places that were within reach.

I don't know why you're so obsessed with first class ToGo, second is perfectly fine on most trains. Admittedly Dresden-Prague is a long enough journey that i'd think about paying the extra for first but i'd have no qualms about travelling in second.
