What you should know about Prague

Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, is a fascinating city. It is known for its rich history, stunning architecture and lively atmosphere. However, besides these aspects, there are other important points that make Prague an enjoyable destination.

We have compiled some information that you should know when visiting Prague.

Public transport in Prague is extremely efficient and well developed. The network includes trams, buses and metros that allow travellers to get around the city comfortably and quickly. The metro in Prague is particularly convenient and connects important points in the city centre as well as the suburbs. The timetables are well organised and waiting times are usually short. In addition, the ticket system is easy to understand and offers various options, including single tickets, day passes and multi-day passes, which are particularly practical for tourists.

One thing to watch out for is money exchange offices in Prague.

By metro and tram through Prague

In order to get from A to B quickly in Prague, you should never travel by car. There are hardly any parking spaces and the city centre is very crowded. The distances are often too long to walk, especially if you have little time. So it is worth changing to the metro and tram.
