Is it Munich, Vienna, Budepest? Any others? What's the best value?

I agree with visiting a smaller Czech city... Plzen, Cesky Krumlov, Pardubice... depends on what your interested in and what "short" is to you. :) These are all easy day trips. There's castle all over Czech, as well.

Ceské Budejovice where the first Budweiser was made!!!
But seriously - What do you mean by short train ride? It's 6 hours to Vienna, and more to Budapest. (for me, short is 1-2 hours) which limits the places you want to see unless you take the Pendolino.
I've been to both Vienna and Munich (after it was bombed out so there wasnt much to see then) but Vienna is a nice place - a bit more (hard to describe the feeling it gave me) serious, heavy, overpowering than Prague.

Well, those are all lovely cities, but they aren't THAT short distances away. Granted, though, you'd be travelling through lovely European countryside, so it'd still be worth it.
Try going to Bratislava, capital of Slovakia, just a few hours from Prague... even though the Cz.R. and Slovakia were once one country, Slovakia's different. Bratislava's a very beautiful city that not many tourists visit--sort of like how Prague used to be!

Plzen, where lager beer was invented. Take a guided tour of the brewery there.
