Prague Public Transport
Prague has a very reliable public transport network, which includes buses, trolleybuses, trams and the metro. One ticket is valid for all these means of public transport, regardless of the number of transfers. Tickets are limited in time and come in 30 min, 90 min, 24 hour and 72 hour variants.
For more information visit the official website of the Prague Public Transit Company.
Purchasing tickets
We recommend the mobile App Lítačka, which can be used both for purchasing tickets and finding ideal public transport connections. The application is available for Android and iOS.
Public transport tickets mainly must be purchased before you board the bus, tram, or metro. In trams, urban buses, and trolleybuses, a touchscreen terminal sells full-price and /or half-price tickets for Prague with a time validity of 30 minutes, 90 minutes, or 24 hours. These tickets are valid from the moment of purchase and have their validity already printed on them, therefore they don’t have to be validated anymore. The terminal accepts only contactless payments. Tickets are sold in the Visitor Centre, at the Prague Public Transit company counters in Arrival Halls, or from ticket vending machines at both terminals and some bus stops and in vestibules of metro stations. Most ticket machines accept contactless credit card payments. Tickets can also be purchased via SMS or the Lítačka mobile app.
Important note: It is essential to ensure that you validate your ticket. Unless you buy it on the machines within bus or tram, the ticket must be stamped on the yellow machines at every metro station or within the transport (on buses, trolleybuses, and trams). As with the electronic tickets, verifying they are active before getting into the chosen transport is essential. If your ticket is not validated, you can be fined 1000 CZK.
Taxi in Prague
There are many taxi services in Prague. It is not recommended to take a taxi on the street, but rather to order through one of the available applications. Taxis are operated here by Liftago, Uber, Wolt, Bolt, AAA taxi and others, whose applications can be easily found in the App Store and Google Play.
