Public transport: Getting around Prague is easy thanks to its efficient public transport system.

Generally, you could reach all the corners of the city with their transportation. Although, just like what I have mentioned in the introduction, Prague is a walkable city.

However, if you’re staying for more than 3 days in Prageu or probably one week even, it is wise to get the short-term tourist passes. These tickets give you unlimited access to its public transportation valid for 24 and 72 hrs.

Use your tickets among these transports:

  • Prague Metro (Subway) – Aside from trains in Prague is fast, clean, and safe, it will also get you almost anywhere you need to be in Prague. The trains arrive every 1-3 minutes during peak hours and  4-10 minutes on off-hours and weekends.
  • Prague Trams – Prague’s network of trams is one of the oldest in Europe and the third-largest in the world. The tram comes every 8 to 10-minute intervals during peak hours while 40-minute intervals at night.
  • City Buses – City buses bring you to places in Prague that are not reachable by the metro and tram. The bus comes every 6 to 8-minute intervals during peak hours 30 to 60-minute intervals in midnight.

Personally, I would not buy any cards online yet and see how it is for you. I absolutely loved to take the tram in Prague; it was an experience for itself.

Bikes: One of the best and cheapest way to see a city is through bikes and Prague is no exception.

You can find yellow cycle paths in general parts of the city with cycling lane signs in every crossroads or junction. Hop on a saddle, wear a helmet, you’re good to go.

You can either have a moment by yourself or join group bike tours for more fun, do whatever you like.

Although Prague still has a long way to go to catch up with far-more-bike-friendly cities like Vienna or Amsterdam.

Walking: Enjoy the innermost parts of Prague on foot. Especially in the Old Town you can walk anything and it is the best way to explore.

Mostly, tourist sights in Prague are not very far from each other which makes it perfect to explore through a wonderful walk. See  Get a hand of the city through going into the smallest details on your walking tour.

And this is my favorite way of getting around Prague. While the Old Time Square is the perfect starting point for a walk where you can reach interesting destinations of the city in 30 minutes.

Book Panoramic ViewsWalking Tour here

Taxi: The fastest way to getting from point A to point B is through the taxi.

However, yes the stories are true, some taxi drivers in Prague may try to rip you off with crazy rates especially those you hail on the streets.

Therefore, here are tips to keep you off those crooks:

  • Taxi rides in Prague are calculated using the fare per one kilometer + entry fee. The average taxi fare is 24-28 CZK ($0.90-1.10) per kilometer while the standard entry fee is 40 CZK ($1.50).
  • Get taxi on designated stands and never flag down taxis on the streets.
  • In case you think you’re being overpriced, you can call the emergency number 112.

Boat: Boating in Prague may not be a highlight in the city, nevertheless, it is one of the classic ways to enjoy and explore.

A perfect alternative from walking and using public transportation especially on great weathers.
