General information
There is a rich system of public transport in Prague. It combines three main types of transportation: subway (Metro), trams and buses. Metro is the best and fastest way to travel longer distances, trams and buses may be used to complete the trip.
The price for a basic ticket is 20 CZK (about 0.7 Euro). You have to stamp it when entering the Metro area, tram or bus. It is valid for 75 minutes (90 minutes during weekends) from the timestamp and allows you to change lines and transportation types at your will. A single ticket is sufficient for the whole trip in most cases (the only limit is the duration of your ride).
Do not care about transport zones. The whole of Prague is in zone 0, so single-zone tickets are suitable for your needs. You can buy tickets at most newspaper kiosks or coin machines at bus/tram stations or by the Metro entrances.
Tickets for 1, 3 or 7 days are sold at information desks located e.g. at the airport arrival hall, and metro stations Muzeum and Mustek. More information about public transport is provided by the Prague public transport company.
