Question: "How to use the ticket?" For a ticket to be valid (for 1 trip or for 1.3 days), it must be validated. On the bus and tram, you will see yellow composters on the handrails. The metro also has composters located at the entrance to the metro. In Prague, there are no turnstiles at the entrance to the metro, so everyone is obliged to validate their ticket. A ticket without composting is invalid and you may be fined. When switching from one type of transport to another, you do not need to re-validate the ticket.

Question: "If I bought a ticket for 90 minutes, and skated on it only 45, can I use it again after a walk in a couple of hours?" No! Example: if you got on a tram at 11:00, arrived at your destination 50 minutes later and are not going anywhere else, this means that the extra 40 minutes will simply burn out.

Where to buy tickets for travel

Travel tickets are sold at a variety of locations:

  1. Automatic machines on the sale of tickets at tram stops and in the metro. There are machines that accept only small change, and there are modern machines where you can pay with bank cards. Such modern machines are installed, for example, at the airport and at the central station in Prague.
  2. Metro ticket offices... Such ticket offices are not available at all stops. Most ticket offices are closed on weekends. It is at the metro ticket offices that you can buy an unnamed travel card for 1 month.
  3. Vietnamese shops on the first floors of buildings. Just go to the box office and ask for the required number of tickets with a validity period of 30 or 90 minutes.
  4. Newsstands selling newspapers and magazines Trafiky.
  5. At the reception in large hotels in Prague.
  6. Tickets for 1 trip, as well as for 1 or 3 days can be bought through sms... Such a ticket is called an SMS ticket. To buy a ticket, you need to send one of the following texts to number 90206, which corresponds to a particular type of ticket: DPT32; DPT24; DPT110; DPT310. In addition to the cost of the ticket, you will be charged the cost of SMS. After you receive a confirmation text message on your phone, you can start using public transport. Attention!

The penalty for travel without a ticket is

Most tourists think that no one controls whether people have tickets for travel, but this is not so. A lot of controllers run around Prague every day, which check the availability of tickets for transport passengers. If the controller approached you, then he must show you a special token, after which you must present a valid ticket or travel card. All controllers have readers for checking electronic name passes. If you do not have a ticket with you, the controller will issue you a fine. If paid on the spot, the fine will be 800 CZK, when paying through a bank 1000 CZK... If you try to escape, refuse to pay the fine or present documents for issuing the fine, the controllers will call the police. No persuasion does not apply to controllers, and if you have something like the following situation, you will still be fined:

  • The ticket is not valid for just a minute.
  • You bought the wrong ticket type.
  • You did not validate your ticket.
  • You have lost your ticket.
  • You didn't know how to buy a ticket, so you went without a ticket.
  • You did not receive an SMS with a ticket.
  • You are a tourist and do not understand Czech.

Public transport in Prague has an official website Dpp.cz. The site is very well done, and you can use it to lay routes from anywhere in the city to your destination. The site contains the most current metro and tram maps, the current schedule of all routes, fare, news about transport. The site is made in two languages: Czech and English. But it is very easy and convenient to use it.

In some urban bus routes and routes that go to other tariff zones, you can purchase a ticket for the journey. There are no conductors and turnstiles in buses, as well as in the metro. You must validate the ticket yourself. If the stop is on demand, then you need to press the red STOP button.
  • Stop equipment: Bus stops have a roof and a bench for waiting for transport. All bus stops have an exact timetable for the bus routes passing through this stop, where you can find out: where the bus is going, the exact time of arrival and travel time to the next stops.

  • Bus intervals: every 6-30 minutes depending on route, time of day and day of the week. On weekdays during peak hours, buses run more often, and in the evenings, weekends and holidays buses will have to wait longer.

Prague public transport at night

  • A huge plus of public transport in Prague is the availability night bus and tram routes... After all, if you have an early train departure or intercity bus, then you need to leave the hotel early, in which case the night routes will save you. Well, lovers of night binges will appreciate the availability of night transport, because you don't have to spend money on a taxi, which is quite expensive in Europe.
  • Night trams: work from 0:30 to 5:00 with an interval of 30 minutes.
  • Night buses: work from 0:30 to 4:30 with an interval of 30-60 minutes.

All night transport routes and stops are indicated on the Prague night bus and tram map. As you can see, Prague's night routes cover all corners of the city.

Funicular to Petrin Hill

  • Funicular information: The funicular also applies to public transport in Prague. The fare on it costs the same as on other types of transport. If you have a valid ticket, then you can safely climb it up the hill. During the movement, the funicular stops at the Nebozizek station, and then reaches the highest point - Petřín, where you need to get off. The funicular is located near the Újezd ​​tram stop.
  • Funicular opening hours: 9:00 – 23:30
  • Funicular travel intervals: v summer time 10 minutes; v winter time- 15 minutes.

Train in Prague

  • Information about trains: Trains connect Prague with the suburbs and cities of Central Bohemia and are also part of Prague's public transport. Within the city, you can use the same travel cards and tickets as other types of transport. A total of 27 train routes operate in Prague. The most common trains are comfortable double-decker trains City Elefant 471, which have toilets.
  • Operating hours of electric trains: 4:00 – 24:00.
  • Intervals of movement of electric trains: 10 to 30 minutes depending on the day of the week and time of day.

Taxi Prague

There are many taxi companies operating in Prague. The fare is about the same. I will tell you the main points that you need to consider when traveling by taxi in Prague.

  • Estimated cost of travel in Prague taxis: landing - 40 CZK; the fare for 1 km of the way is 20-30 CZK (the tariff is chosen by the driver); waiting time - 6 CZK / minute (if you find yourself in a traffic jam, the meter will keep ticking, i.e. for 30 minutes of idle time in a traffic jam you will pay 180 CZK).
  • After getting into the taxi, the driver must turn on counter.
  • At the end of the trip, the driver owes you issue a check.
  • Ordering a taxi by phone is always cheaper than catching a taxi on the street.

Not all taxi drivers in Prague are clean on hand and like to take advantage of the fact that tourists do not know the city and tariffs. For example, a taxi driver can take customers along a very long route, he can turn on the most expensive tariff on the meter, not turn on the meter and demand any amount from the customer. I saw a program where the driver demanded 50 Euros from the client for 5 km.

Therefore, if you are not a local and you need a taxi transfer to the airport or another city of Prague, then I advise you to order a taxi in advance from a Russian company on the Internet. At the appointed time, the driver will meet you and take you to the address indicated in the request. You will comfortably start or end your journey without nerves and fatigue.

Summarizing, I can briefly write instructions on how to use public transport in Prague: buy a ticket (the same for all types of transport), punch it at the entrance to the metro or tram, ride it strictly for the allotted time. As you can see, there are no complications, everything is simple.

We will analyze the main types of tickets for the metro, buses, trams in Prague, tariffs and a transport map. How to pay in transport, how many passes are valid, where to buy. Let's find out how to save on tickets and travel cards.

"Where to spend your vacation?" - each of us answers this eternal question in his own way. But I am sure that a person who once felt a taste for travel and acquaintance with new countries certainly knows in advance where he will go next time. " Royal Prague is waiting for you! " - this call from the picture of the magazine was sometimes recalled and haunted, promising something mysterious and fabulous. But even in a dream it was impossible to imagine how charming this fairy tale turned out to be!

This article contains information that may be useful for travelers who first arrived in the capital of the Czech Republic, Prague: features of movement in Prague, transport, unexpected sights, communication, greetings and a language barrier, or rather its absence, and some other subtleties and secrets.

The narrow streets of Malaya Strana with numerous cafes and open windows of the upper floors decorated with fresh flowers, it turns out, are capable of accommodating everyone who wants to admire them. Old Czechs live in these small houses. The youth moved to the outskirts of the city, to more comfortable living conditions. Houses built in different centuries and adjacent to each other for more than one century create the impression of complete completeness and integrity. And even the ancient Jewish synagogue, built in the XIII century and preserved to this day, does not violate this integrity and harmonious picture of the city, but on the contrary, complements and gives solemnity to its appearance.

What you are reading now may shock you, but nevertheless, there are never any traffic jams in Prague! And what is even more surprising - not only in the metro, but also on the ground, all transport in the city runs on schedule! How the people of Prague manage it is simply incomprehensible to the mind. At the same time, during rush hour, trains run on the metro more often than during the day, and escalators freeze in motion and come to life only when passengers approach them. And if the tram schedule states that the tram will reach your stop in 27 minutes, you can safely punch a ticket for 26 CZK for 30 minutes. At the 28th minute maximum, you will leave the carriage, and you do not need to be afraid of the controller who may be waiting for you at the exit. Checked.

Traveling around the city by tram is an economical and rather comfortable way to survey those corners of the city where there is simply not enough strength to walk. Although, depending on the purpose of your trip, you can easily choose a bus. It was not necessary to move by buses, but they met on the streets of routes quite often. Although it is better to get to Prague-1 or Prague-2 by tram or metro.

With all the "subtleties" getting around Prague we figured it out pretty quickly. The main and most convenient way is on foot. While you are moving, you absolutely forget about everything, including fatigue. It only makes itself felt on the way to the hotel. As a marathon runner on a long distance, in the last meters of the path, you need to correctly calculate the strength, and relax only after entering the room.
Moving around the city is equally comfortable using all types of transport. I highly recommend the tram. Although the metro is faster and easier to navigate - there are only three lines, for complete convenience they are named “red”, “yellow” and “green”, but you can see so many interesting things from the tram window ... stock up in advance. There are no noisy conductors in the carriage, and the tram driver is busy with his business and will not be distracted by your questions.
Many Czechs use e-tickets... Upon entering the carriage, the passenger sends an SMS, in response to which he receives a ticket message. It is presented to the conductor in the event of an inspection. What threatens the Czechs ticketless travel, we did not particularly find out, but for tourists it is fraught with a substantial fine of about 800 kroons, up to the deprivation of entry into Schengen for up to 10 years. Here is such a gloomy "hare" perspective.
Some tourists (and there are quite a few of them) prefer to get acquainted with the sights in such a chic way:

Prague is an extraordinary city, and you will surely be surprised by something literally at every step. At least this insanely rare car, peacefully standing in a row of parked shiny foreign cars on one of the central streets of the city!

Prague landmarks impressive. The history of the city combines monuments not only of cultural value, but also of mystical one. Like this one - a monument to a ghost.

The guidebooks even offer a tour of Mystical Prague. We tried to find out in more detail what this excursion includes, but of the listed objects, somehow, nothing interested us. Or maybe that's right - after all, you need to leave a reserve for impressions on your next visit to this unique city ...
Probably only in Prague it was possible to see such a monument! Not because ghosts are common here, but because next to so many saints their ghosts must inevitably be ... ..
Czechs know, respect very much and keep their history. Their own city, which is their history. And sometimes they are jealous of us - tourists from different "volosts" who have flooded the city, especially in the season, sometimes creating discomfort and crowding in narrow streets, where two people can hardly disperse. But at the same time, I did not feel so comfortable and calm even in my hometown... In every shop or cafe communication necessarily begins with a greeting dear to our ear, but so rarely heard in our Russian conditions: "Good afternoon!" This is the Czech word for "hello!" And after another mutual greeting, you begin to understand that today is a really good day!
Even if the shop assistant is busy with another customer, when you walk in, you will certainly be noticed. And right after the greeting, perhaps they will switch from the English that was just sounded to our native Russian. It's just that our compatriots often work in shops, cafes and hotels in Prague, so there is no conversation barrier here. Even if you are addressing a Czech, you can explain yourself quite tolerably: all the young people speak English, and the old Czechs will certainly answer you in Russian.
What language you greet is not so important. The main thing is to say hello without fail, and it is especially important to be heard, and not just to mutter inarticulate things under your breath. After all, you wish a good day to a specific person, right? Otherwise, there is a risk of remaining unnoticed by the waiter for quite a long time. And even if you manage to get the menu and place your order, you can wait for it for a very long time. This is the "magic greeting" effect.

Such wonderful cozy cafes in Prague are found almost at every step. Therefore, during your stay in Prague, there is practically no risk of being hungry and sober. Even if you do not order, but are interested in the drinks indicated in the wine list or a simple menu, the owner of the establishment will gladly treat you to a small glass of liqueur, claiming with the confidence of a connoisseur that it is very good for digestion.

In general, in Prague you constantly discover something unexpectedly new for yourself - even in those places where, it would seem, you have passed more than once. So literally a day before returning to Russia, we found ourselves next to a small cafe on the corner of a not crowded street. The attention was attracted by a showcase, on which there were names written in calligraphic script, familiar and understandable - "grushovitsa", "plum brandy", "vishnevitsa" and something else. And do you think we could pass by such a showcase? Well, of course not.
Entering the doors, we found a small hallway and a staircase leading down to the basement. And once in the hall, it was almost impossible to get out of it. Eyes scattered from the abundance of pictures on the walls, flowerpots, figurines and other antiques that created a unique interior. The crucifixion of Christ and the statuette of the Madonna and Child, a carved candlestick with a melted candle, pictures of old Prague - all this created a special mood, and I didn't even want to leave, although quite recently my only desire was to get to the hotel as soon as possible ...
In general, you meet saints of different ranks and religions in this city so often that at some point they are no longer perceived as something outlandish. You return to them as to old friends, with them I certainly want to say goodbye when leaving ...

Historical Centercompact enough to explore on foot. However, if you live on the outskirts of the city or do not have much time to get to know the main Praguethen getting around Prague is better on public.

If you are to navigate and create a route in an unfamiliar city usually use Google maps on your smartphone (and you do it well: always a full charge of the battery and paid for the Internet), then you will need this article only to do the names of Prague public transport stops near the main attractions of the Czech capital.

For those who, like us, like to plan their routes around the city in advance, it makes sense to learn how to use one of the two public transport routers around the Czech capital of your choice. Either PID or DPP. There is no difference between them - the algorithm for finding public transport routes in Prague is identical. I like to use more DPP. By the way, you canuse the mobile application"Praha - DPP - pražská MHD"by installing it on your smartphone.

How to use a router correctly in Prague

So, let's go to the website of the Prague Transport Company in the section Route view: Hledat spojení

The Prague public transport website operates in 3 languages: Czech, English and German. In our opinion, it is more convenient and easier to use the Czech version:

1. In the "Odkud" (From) column, enter the name of the nearest public transport stop located near your hotel. If we do not know the name of the stop, then we enter the name of the street. For example, we settled in the Prague hotel Vitkov, which is located on Koněvova street, 114. So, we enter the address “Konevova, 114” in the “Odkud” column and the program itself will find this Prague address and the nearest stop;


Prague Urban Public Transport Router

2. In the column "Kam" (Where) we indicate the final stop of our route. If we do not know the name of the stop we need, then we enter the name of the required street. If we do not know either the street name or the name of the stop we need, then we either check the city map by clicking on the "Mara" button opposite the "Kam" column, or look at ours with the names of public transport stops at the end of this article. For example, if we need Prague Castle, then we enter the name of the stop “Pražský hrad” in the column “Kam” (To);

3. In the column "Datum" (Date), indicate the day, if necessary, and in the column "Čas" (Time), enter the estimated start time of your trip;

4. Now press the button "Vyhledat" (Watch);


Prague Urban Public Transport Router

5. The program offered us several route options to choose from and indicated the name of the stop closest to our hotel: "Ohrada". Now let's analyze one of the routes suggested to us:

  • Travel time: 41 minutes;
  • Fare: 32 CZK;
  • Starting stop of the route: "Ohrada". Transport: tram number 9. Departure time: 19:05;
  • Change: stop "Národní divadlo". Time of arrival of tram number 9 at the stop "Národní divadlo": 19:27;
  • New transport: tram number 22. Departure time for tram number 22 from the stop "Národní divadlo": 19:33;
  • The final stop of the route is "Pražský hrad". Arrival time: 19:46.
