Prague Public Transport

Prague Public Transport

Prague has a very efficient public transport system, including a bus, tram and metro network which can take you to any part of the city.

Prague Metro

Prague metro is the fastest and easiest way to get around Prague. Find out about its lines, stations, fares and opening hours.

Prague Trams

Trams are one of the most useful means of transport to get around Prague. The first trams were inaugurated in 1875 and were pulled by horses.

Prague City Buses

Although when visiting the centre of the city metro and tram is the best option, the bus is a good alternative to visit Terezín or Karlovy Vary cheaply.

Prague Taxis

Taxis are relatively expensive. Find out about the official rates and the recommended taxi companies.

Petřín funicular runs from Malá Strana to Petřín hill from 1891. Information on the fares and schedule here.

How to get transport tickets and passes?

Transport tickets and passes can be purchased in any metro station, either at a vending machine or ticket office. If you're planning on taking the tram, we recommend getting the tickets beforehand.

The system is similar to that in many other cities, it remains valid for a period of time throughout which you can use it as many times as you like

Always validate your ticket

While the ticket inspectors aren't as vigilant as in cities such as Budapest, there's a chance you'll be asked to show your ticket.

Passengers will always need to validate their ticket before getting on the metro or once on the bus and tram in the yellow machines.
