Safety and etiquette. Be careful: when the tram arrives, take a couple of steps back; tall people may be hit by the rear-view mirror. In the subway, on the escalator, it is customary to stand on the right side and pass on the left. In transport, it is customary to give up seats to elderly people and pregnant women.

Taxi

In Prague, it is always preferable to use public transport, however, if you need to travel by taxi, then a few tips below will help you.

Official taxis in Prague are marked accordingly, but the color of taxis may vary. The number and name of the carrier company is indicated on the car doors. The salon has a price list for transportation services, after studying which you can find out the cost of travel. At the end of the trip, the passenger has the right to request a receipt with the specified amount. It is recommended to book a taxi from one of the local operators:

AAA Radiotaxi, +420 222 333 222 (26 CZK per km) - this company has an official contract with Prague Airport
Nejlevnejší Taxi, +420 226 000 226 (18 CZK per km)
Modrý anděl , +420 737 222 333 (19 CZK per km)
Speedcars, +420 224 234 234 (19 CZK per km)
Sedop, +420 841 666 333 (23 CZK per km)
City Taxi, +420 257 257 257 (24 CZK per km)
Halo Taxi, +420 244 114 411 (24 CZK per km)
Taxi Praha, +420 222 111 000 (24 CZK per km)
Kuryr Taxi, +420 241 090 090 (26 CZK per km)
Profi Taxi, +420 844 700 800 (26 CZK per km)

Bohemia Prague Airport Transfers, +420 773 066 880
Taxi Premier, +420 777 092 045

Unscrupulous taxi drivers can become a problem for tourists. They can significantly inflate prices. This is especially true when traveling from the airport or railway station to the city center. If you are forced to take a taxi, then contact a representative of a hotel and order a taxi that serves the hotel. Keep in mind that this will cost you about twice as much as booking a taxi from one of the companies listed above.

Some taxi drivers may show you printouts with supposedly “fixed prices” for travel around the city. Don't fall for this scam: these are fake "documents" and their contents are not true.

If you get into a taxi, make sure the meter is on, and when you leave the taxi, ask for a receipt for the fare.

It's better not to catch a taxi right on the street. If this happens, choose a branded taxi and try to negotiate the fare in advance. Keep in mind that the maximum tariff set by the city authorities for one kilometer of travel is 28 CZK (approximately 48 rubles or 1.1 euros).

Cars

To drive a car in Prague, you can use a Russian driver's license, but stay in the Czech Republic for no more than three months. Rules traffic, basically correspond to those adopted in the rest European countries. Traffic in Prague is very busy and there are often traffic jams. Plus, in the city center the streets are narrow and traffic is often one-way. Therefore, we do not recommend considering a car as a priority and convenient means of transportation in the historical center of Prague.

Parking

Map of Prague districts

In the center of Prague (districts Prague 1, 2, 3) you cannot park your car for free, and you always have to pay for parking. However, in other areas there is plenty of free parking.

Parking zones in Prague are divided into several types: blue, orange and green. These colors are used to mark information signs under parking signs and also to mark lines on the sidewalk.

blue zone(center). Parking here is intended only for residents of these areas and property owners. Tourists can purchase a short-term parking ticket in this zone for a period of 4 hours (for 120 CZK) or 10 hours (400 CZK). The coupon can be purchased in stores, kiosks and gas stations. You must always pay for parking in this zone, with the exception of the period from 18.00 to 20.00 hours - during this time you can stop your car here, but for no more than 3 minutes.
orange zone(District Prague 3). Parking in this zone is limited to 2 hours. Payment must be made through the parking meter. The printed ticket should be placed behind the windshield so that it can be clearly seen from outside the car. The cost of parking for 1 hour is 40 CZK, the minimum fee is 10 CZK (for 10 minutes). In the orange zone, parking is paid from Monday to Friday from 8.00 to 18.00. And from 18.00 to 8.00 hours - free. On weekends, parking is usually free; an information sign under the parking sign may indicate otherwise.

You can park your car in appropriately marked parking lots: this is a blue sign with the letter “P”. There may be an information board under the sign indicating possible parking times and any restrictions. There are also paid private parking lots with their own time and price conditions.
Park + ride (P+R). This type of parking can be a convenient option for you. Its name translates as “park and ride (by public transport).” Such parking lots are located almost all near metro stations, namely near stations Skalka I, II, Zličín I, II, Nové Butovice, Opatov, Chodov, Ládví, Letňany, Rajská zahrada, Černý Most I, II , Palmovka, Radotín, Nádraží Holešovice, Běchovice and Depo Hostivař.

Those who do not pick up their car must pay a fine of 100 CZK. Since P+R parking lots are integrated into the Prague Unified Transport System (PIT), when using them, in addition to a parking ticket, you must purchase a ticket giving the right to travel in this system (PIT). If you already have such a ticket, you do not need to purchase it again. However, you need to keep it for the entire parking period: when you pick up the car, the ticket will be checked.
Bike + ride (B+R). Part of the P+R car park, you can park your bicycles free of charge. To do this, you need to get a parking ticket on the spot for a deposit of 20 CZK. If you do not pick up the bike on time and leave it between 1.00 and 4.00, you will have to pay 100 CZK.

Fines

Fines imposed on violators are either paid on the spot or received in the form of a receipt by mail. The maximum fine that a police officer can issue you to pay on the spot is CZK 2,000. Fines can also be paid through a bank. If you rent a car, the fine will be charged to the car rental company, which will then require payment from you. The fine itself usually indicates the account details to which the specified amount must be transferred when paying at the bank. The issued fine must be paid within 10 days.

Public transport in Prague can only be described with positive side: comfortable, clean, convenient, 24/7 and punctual (works strictly according to the schedule that is at each stop).

The transport network covers even the most remote corners of the city and is well thought out. At night, special night routes operate. Traveling by metro will be slightly faster than using ground transport, but will deprive you of the opportunity to observe beautiful view from the window. The advantages of public transport allow tourists not to spend a lot of time traveling, which means they don’t have to rent a hotel in the center.

It is more practical for tourists to buy tickets for 24 or 72 hours, since tickets with short term actions may end at the wrong moment, there may be no change for the coin machine (it does not accept paper banknotes), or the machine itself may not be nearby. In addition, tickets for 24 and 72 hours will cost you less. It is especially difficult to buy a ticket at night.

In order to get off at such a stop, you must first press the “STOP” button on the bus. Make sure that the indicator above the door or in front of the bus lights up.

A good alternative for route planning is the Prague Transport Company resource.

Detailed bus/tram stop map

Please note that when determining optimal route(from point “A” to point “B”) both resources take only 2-3 minutes for a transfer. If such a stop is a major transport interchange, such as Dejvicka (see stop map on the right), then without knowing where your next route stops, it is easy to miss it and have to wait for the next one.

To see the most detailed map stops, you must use this search form. In the “Objekt” line you need to enter the name of the stop or its first letters. The system will give you a list of hints, but be careful: the names of Prague stops may overlap with the names of stops in other cities of the Czech Republic. Therefore, pay attention to the designation of this type: “zastavka (Praha)”, which means “stop in Prague”.

Prague is one of the cities where residents prefer public transport to personal transport. Metro, trams and buses run so frequently and without interruption, with the exception of road repairs, that residents can get to anywhere in the city on time by adjusting to the schedule.

The most common terrestrial vehicle is a tram. Most of the city's roads are covered by railway tramways, which allows residents and tourists to move around the city without any problems. According to statistics, which indicate the number of passengers transported in a particular type of transport, trams are in second place after the metro, which is not surprising, because when moving on a tram you can look at the city through the window from different angles, depending on the chosen route. It is difficult to imagine Prague without the characteristic chime, because it is not without reason that the tram is considered the symbol of Prague.

Every day, 24 daytime routes run along the streets, pavements and embankments of the city; at night, only 9 remain. The most popular routes are numbers 9, 17, 22, which pass through the main attractions. There is also a separate one, which we have already talked about.

In places where there are no tram tracks, buses run on certain routes. At stops you can see further movement, as well as find out the arrival time of transport. In some places, buses travel along tram tracks and you will also see the necessary information on the information stand.

Yellow leaves, as well as numbers indicating the route on a yellow background, are, as a rule, changed traffic routes associated with the repair or reconstruction of tracks. You also need to know that public transport schedules on weekdays and weekends may differ. On weekends, public transport in some areas runs at longer intervals.

You don’t have to wait long for the necessary tram in Prague: on average, the waiting time is no more than 5 minutes.

Maps (diagrams) of Prague tram routes

There is a themed beer hall in Prague that we recommend visiting -.

Finally, a short video of the 5th tram.

Not long ago, the Playtvak website launched an online broadcast from a camera installed on a tram on route 16. This is the longest tram route and the most beautiful. Click on the photo below to go to the online broadcast.

Urban transport is a complex business, and everyone Big City forced to take various steps towards its optimization. As the number of private cars among citizens increased, moving within the city became so difficult that urgent measures had to be taken.

In Prague, for example, they have taken the path of improving the development of public transport. This is a very correct decision, since public transport has obvious advantages over non-centralized private transport: it does not take up parking space in the most inappropriate places; has well-defined routes and schedules, which allows you to fully plan its work; with proper organization of transport arteries, it has a high speed of movement of passengers, and the number of its clients grows as the efficiency of transportation increases. Here we should add the environmental friendliness of public transport, that is, much less environmental pollution compared to the mass of passenger cars.

As a result of timely, serious measures, Prague now belongs to those few cities where residents widely use public transport, giving it preference over private cars. Prague residents abandoned trolleybuses more than 40 years ago, but their tram service was widely developed. It is currently the most common when it comes to ground transport. The tram, as the city residents themselves say, is a symbol of Prague, and its streets would be different if they did not have the usual tram chime.

And in those places where the tram does not reach, numerous buses. That is why residents, having at their disposal various types of transport, operating in a coordinated and precise manner, in accordance with the schedule, are not late or in a hurry, but calmly move around the city, knowing that transport will not let them down.

And the reason for this is the clear organization of the functioning of such a vast economy. At each stop, for the convenience of passengers, there is a list of transport passing through this stop, indicating the time of arrival.

It happens, for example, that in some area tram tracks, or at highway, scheduled repairs or reconstruction are being carried out. What should passengers who must travel on this section do in this case? And the issue is resolved simply: at each stop related to changes, marks appear in the schedule, highlighted in bright yellow, informing passengers about changes in the route.

Transport schedule, including tram schedule in Prague different during the week because trams and buses run differently on weekends. However, these differences are also noted in the schedule at each stop. Therefore, when traveling on weekends, it is worth keeping in mind that you may be delayed at the stop for more than 5 minutes, usual on weekdays.

Well, unplanned situations cannot be programmed in advance, but even in this case, city services have various “Plan B” that allow them to take into account the needs of passengers as much as possible.

Tram routes many, approximately 24 routes operate on and during the daytime. And, although there is only one night left 9 night trams, for the city this is quite enough. The most popular, of course, are tram routes, passing through the city center, these are No. 17, 9 and 22. Separately highlighted, which has its own historical significance. It is not permanent, and the tram runs on this route only from April to October. The tram runs from, or, as it is also called, Tram Museum, in Strešovice to the Vystaviste stop. This - historical tram, an excursion, a kind of museum on wheels, and it cannot be classified as public transport.

If you are not a resident of Prague, but still need to travel around it, then to compile the right route it is necessary to use public transport maps, including - map (scheme) of Prague trams, as well as other types of transport.

Such maps and diagrams are easy to purchase in Prague. But if you are used to taking advantage of the Internet, then in this case it will help make your task easier. There is such a “Route Planner”, go there using the link. The language is Czech, you can choose English or German. You will be asked to fill out a completely understandable form, where there are columns “From” and “To”, that is, “From” and “Where”, there is a place to indicate the point through which you want to proceed - the column “Via”. You indicate the date for which you are planning your trip, as well as the time of arrival at the end of the route or departure from the starting point. You will be offered several options, sometimes quite a lot. There is also a “Map” button, clicking which will give you the opportunity to see your routes on a city map.

Example: Let's assume that a tourist has booked a room in 4 star Hotel Golf (Plzeňská 103/215a 150 00 Praha). Before booking, he made sure there were tram, bus or metro stops near the hotel, as written. Very close to the hotel described above there is a tram stop of the same name - Hotel Golf, where the following tram routes No. 9, 10, 58, 59 operate. Next, open the page in the browser //spojeni.dpp.cz/ConnForm.aspx?tt=PID&cl=E5, enter “From” into the window - stop Hotel Golf and in the next “To” window - for example, Staroměstská. Select the date, time and click on “Search”.

Tram tickets. Price. How to use the tram in Prague

The good thing about public transport in Prague is that there is a single ticket system for all types. That is, you do not buy separately tram ticket, and separately - by bus. This system is based not on the type of transport, but on the time during which the ticket is valid.

There are one-time tickets with a certain validity period, and there is a travel ticket. Single-use tickets are subject to composting, which is done on the first trip after purchasing the ticket. This is the beginning of the ticket validity countdown, exactly at this date and time the public transport controller is guided by when determining whether your ticket is still valid or no longer valid.

Travel tickets are not composted, they simply must be with the passenger and must be presented to the controllers.

A one-time ticket can be valid for 30 minutes or 72 hours.

A discount is provided for children and pensioners, which is half the original ticket price.

List of one-time tickets and their costs:

— valid for 30 minutes, cost 24 CZK;
— valid for 90 minutes, cost 32 CZK;
— valid 24 hours, that is, one day, cost 110 CZK;
— valid for 72 hours, that is, three days, cost 310 CZK

There is a fine of 40 euros for traveling without a ticket, so be careful!

How to use the tram in Prague

Buy the ticket you need from a machine, which is located at any tram, bus or metro stop. Then get on the tram and compose it. Then you count down the time.

This is tram cost in Prague, but the purchased ticket covers all types of transport - both tram and bus, And .

Both single tickets and travel tickets are intended for one passenger. But they are not personal, therefore, if you, for example, with a friend, are traveling not together, but in different time, then you can use the same travel document. But if you come on vacation together and plan to travel together, then each of you will have to purchase a travel document.

In order not to spend extra money, estimate how many days you will be in Prague and choose the most economical use of tickets from the options offered. Arithmetic problem for 4th grade.

You just need to keep in mind that a monthly ticket costs 670 CZK, so all options for one-time tickets, which in total exceed this amount, should be immediately rejected by you as uneconomical, in favor of purchasing a monthly pass. For example, if you stay in Prague for 7 days, then if you use one-time tickets, you will have to pay 310 + 310 + 110 = 730. This is clearly more than 670, especially since you will have to validate it three times. Therefore, purchase a travel card, and then, when you leave, you can give it to someone. It has already fulfilled its function of saving your money, and this is the main thing.

True, you can buy a monthly pass not everywhere, but at the ticket office PID (Prazska integrovana doprava), which is not available at every stop. Here, at the ticket office, payment is made either in cash in Czech crowns or by bank transfer. You will receive a small cardboard card, which you can immediately laminate for 10 CZK, indicating the date and time of its issue. Two more important dates will also be indicated here: the date of the first day and the date last day period during which your pass is valid.

On the same website where the route planner is waiting for you (dpp.cz), you will be shown the metro station where there is a PID ticket office. To obtain the necessary information, you need to select your metro line and find the column “Coupons with arbitrary start of validity”. Those lines marked with the word “all” indicate the stops you need. These are:

— on line A: Skalka, Hradčanská;
— on branch B: Můstek, Anděl, Palmovka, Florenc, Zličín, Vysočanská, Smíchovské nádraží;
— on branch C: Nádraží Holešovice, Roztyly, Letňany.

These ticket offices are open on weekdays, but on weekends you won’t be able to buy a ticket in Prague, everything is closed. And on weekdays - please, from 6:00 to 20:00, except Saturday and Sunday.

They say that now travel tickets have begun to be sold both at information centers and at the airport, at the first and second terminals.

And - off topic, but by the way: there is a beer hall in Prague, called - "The first beer tram". It looks like a tram car, and was converted into a catering establishment from a tram depot. It’s easy to come here; this is the final stop of tram route No. 11. Despite the fact that the beer hall itself is small, it has two rooms - one room for non-smokers, and the other, of course, for smokers. The owner of the establishment himself greets you, personally offers you a menu, and the whole cozy atmosphere of the pub invites you to relax and unwind.

Rail Europe and by bus. If necessary (for example, to organize a shopping tour), we buy package tours on.

line "B" - indicated in yellow and starts from the Černý Most station to the Zličín station
line “C” is marked in red. It starts from Háje station to Letňany station. It also has connections to the stations Muzeum on lines A and C, Můstek on lines A and B and Florenc on lines B and C

Prague metro opening hours

The capital's metro operates almost 24 hours a day. The first train leaves the route at 5:00 am, and the last train finishes work at midnight. Every Friday and Saturday, when the work week ends, all metro lines operate an hour longer.

Movement interval

During rush hour on weekdays, metro trains move at intervals of 2-3 minutes, and at other times - at intervals of 4-10 minutes. You can view the schedule and create a metro route on the official website of the main transport company in Prague: www.dpp.cz.

Transport nuances

It is worth noting that the Prague metro is very deep. It so happened that, due to the characteristics of the local soil, the metro channels had to be dug deep underground. That’s why you shouldn’t be surprised if you see that the local escalators there are so big and long.

The movement of metro passengers is organized in such a way that there will never be a crush. Those moving to the platform take the right path, and people who need to exit take the left path. The entrance to the metro is always marked with the letter "M".

It should also be remembered that the direction of the train is always determined by the final station of its route. The name of the direction can be found on the sign located in the first carriage of the train. In addition, in the metro lobby you will never find turnstiles or metro employees, so you can only buy a ticket from a machine. Keep this in mind when planning to take the metro to areas remote from the city center.

Often in the Prague metro, entry and exit are through the same door. And in order to enter or exit the carriage, you must press the button on the doors.

It starts its movement from the Vozovna Střešovice station.

It is worth noting that the tram schedule can be found at each stop. In addition, 2-3 or more trams can run through the stop. In the very center of the city there is a connecting station Lazarská, through which the routes of absolutely all night trams run. Thus, you can easily get to any part of Prague.

It should be remembered that on weekends the tram schedule is slightly different from the schedule on weekdays. On holidays, you can find changes to the schedule at stops.

Transport nuances

If a tram breaks down, a bus is put on the route instead, giving it the same number as the tram, although the letter X century is assigned to it. For example, instead of the 26th tram, a bus number X26 will run around the city.

Prague buses

general information

Buses from various bus carriers operate in Prague. But the main one is the Transport Enterprise of the Capital City of Prague, which has an extensive network of routes. Its official website: http://www.dpp.cz/.

Some bus routes connect the capital of the Czech Republic with the suburbs. You can take this bus from the metro station, which is located on the outskirts of Prague. In addition, many buses, including international ones, depart from Florenc Station, serving metro stations B and C.

Taxi

general description

Taxis in Prague are not very popular among tourists. In addition, in the city there is no such thing as a “private owner”. Taxi cars are easily recognizable because they have illuminated signs on their roofs. On the doors, as a rule, prices and information about the transport company and who owns the taxi are indicated.

Taxis have a meter that can print a receipt. In some machines you can also pay with a credit card. In the capital of the Czech Republic there is also a taxi specifically for drivers who decide to drink after work. By ordering such a service, a taxi with two drivers will come for you. The second driver will take you in your own car to wherever you need to go.

Taxi fare

Taxi fare consists of:

landing cost, which averages 30-50 CZK
cost for waiting, which is usually 5 CZK per 1 minute
cost for 1 km of travel around the city, which ranges from 18-36 CZK

Taxi working hours

Prague taxi operates 24 hours a day.

Transport nuances

A taxi in the capital can be ordered in two ways:

call the dispatch service or use the Internet
catch on the street

In order to catch a taxi right on the street, you just need to raise your hand in a suitable place. It is worth remembering that most taxi drivers, if stopped on the street in the evening or at night, inflate the fare, so it is best to agree on the price in advance. In addition, such taxi drivers sometimes cheat by turning on the meter for the “out of town” fare. In this case, they will drive you around the city at an expensive rate. Despite the fact that the Prague authorities are actively fighting this phenomenon, carrying out periodic raids, they have not yet been able to completely eradicate the problem.

Main carriers:
