Prague City Transport

Prague is a very easy city to get around with a great underground Metro system as well as trams and buses.

Prague Metro - a speedy way to get around Prague, the Prague Metro or underground is clean and efficient. You can buy tickets in any Metro station, your hotel, etc. You can buy the tickets in advance of your journey - just stick it in the ticket validating machine as you start your journey and the ticket will be date- and time-stamped.

Prague Trams may be a little slower but are a marvellous way to get around – you can see much more. Each tram stop gives a list of stops for each tram route and a timetable for it (which is absolutely accurate). Prague buses - as Prague’s Metro (underground system) and tram service are so good, buses are not used that often. The Prague bus service mainly covers the outskirts of the city.

Prague’s bus service is quite regular during the day with buses running from 5am until around midnight every day. Bus fares are also very cheap. Prague also has night buses which run when the day buses stop, from midnight to 5am, and the buses run every half hour or so.

Prague Airport - Prague Airport is a modern and spacious international airport located on the northwest edge of Prague and around 17 km north of the city. Prague's airport has two main terminals. Terminal 1 is for flights from non-Schengen countries including UK and countries outside of Europe and Terminal 2 is for flights from Schengen countries zone (most of EU countries including Switzerland).
