Prague’s public transport system is operated by the Prague Public Transport Authority, which has information desks in both terminals of Prague's Václav Havel airport and in several metro stations, including Muzeum, Můstek, Anděl and Nádraží Holešovice.
These will be available for all participants and will be handed out at registration. Tickets will be valid for zones P, O, and B (in the Prague area) except for PIT trains. For more information on zones, please click here. This means the travel passes are valid throughout Prague, on trams, metro and buses. The travel passes are valid for 4 days (7-10 September)
The Prague public transport system uses two types of single-trip tickets:
| • 30-minute ticket: 24 CZK | • 90-minute ticket: 32 CZK |
| Adults: 24 CZK Children 6-15 years: 12 CZK Children under 6: free |
Adults: 32 CZK Children 6-15 years: 16 CZK Children under 6: free |
If necessary, you can buy a 90-minute ticket directly from the driver for 40 CZK.
Both tickets can be used on any type of public transportation and allow transfers between lines (subway to subway, tram to tram, etc.) and transfers between different types of transport (subway to tram, tram to bus, etc.) for up to 30/90 minutes from validation.
 |
Tickets are sold through yellow ticket vending machines (also in English, coins only), at ticket offices located at some metro stations, at a Tabák/Trafika, at some newsstands, and at tourist information centres. You can also buy tickets with your mobile phone by sending the text message "DPT24" or "DPT32" to the number 902 06. Your ticket will usually be sent to your phone within one minute. |
 |
A ticket must be punched at the entrance to the metro station and on the tram/bus to mark the start of the validation period. If you requested a ticket by SMS, you must have received your ticket before you enter the vehicle or the paid zone on the subway. |
24-hour pass: 110 CZK (children 6-15 years: 55 CZK)
3-day pass (72 hours): 310 CZK
Passes can be used on any type of Prague public transportation for the duration of the period for which the pass is valid. Children under six ride free.
Short-term (tourist) passes are sold at ticket offices located at some metro stations and at tourist information centres. Long-term passes are sold at ticket offices at some metro stations.
Ticket offices are located at many metro stations (e.g. Dejvická, Hradčanská, Můstek, Florenc, Hlavní nádraží, Nádraží Holešovice, Náměstí Míru) and are usually open from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., some are closed for lunch.
The metro operates daily from 5am to midnight and has three lines:
Line A (shown on transport maps in green): Runs from the northwestern side of the city at Dejvická to the east at Depo Hostivař.
Line B (Yellow): Runs from the southwest at Zličín to the northeast at Černý Most.
Line C (Red): Runs from the north at Letňany to the southeast at Háje.
There are three transfer stations in the city centre where two subway lines intersect:
Můstek (lower end of Wenceslas Square) - lines A and B intersect
Muzeum (upper end of Wenceslas Square) - lines A and C intersect
Florenc (main bus station) - lines B and C intersect
Convenient stops for visitors include Staroměstská (closest to Old Town Square), Malostranská (Malá Strana), Můstek (Wenceslas Square), Muzeum (National Museum), and Praha - Hlavní nádraží (main train station). After the metro closes, night trams (51 to 58) cross the city about every 40 minutes through the night (only full-price 32 CZK/€1.5 tickets are valid on these services).
A map of the metro and trams system can be found here.
With 500 km of tracks, trams (tramvaje) cover a large area of Prague. Daytime trams run from 4:30 a.m. until midnight in 8 - 10 minute intervals (8 - 15 minutes on weekends). Night trams (numbers 51 - 58) run from 00:30 a.m. till 4:30 a.m. in 40 minute intervals.
Tram 22 follows one of Prague's most scenic routes, passing by the National Theater to Staroměstská and Malostranská metro stations, and continuing up to the Belveder, Prague Castle and Pohořelec, with some stunning views along the way.
The Nostalgic Tram no. 91 (nostalgická linka č. 91) is an historic tram that runs on weekends and holidays from April through mid-November. The tram leaves from Vozovna Střešovice every hour from 12:00 noon until 5:30 p.m. and continues through the city centre. The ticket costs 35 CZK for adults and 20 CZK for children under 15.
