  • Many Prague travelers make these mistakes when using Prague public transport. We've decided to make a video that will help you avoid these mistakes and save you from receiving a fine. Better spend that money on beer!
    Prague public transport tickets are time-based. You can purchase a ticket for 30 minutes, 90 minutes, or for 1 or 3 days. All of the public transport vehicles are included in the ticket.
    The biggest mistake tourists make is that they believe that if they validate a ticket incorrectly, the ticket control will forgive them since they are tourists. NO! Trust us, the ticket controllers are actively searching for tourists to squeeze money out of them because part of their pay comes from giving fines and tourists are the easiest prey. So make sure to buy the tickets and validate them properly!

    Great video, the Prague metro is very easy. If you are American here a few tips from my recent trip:
    1) Buy the PT ticket at the airport when you land (you can buy them at almost any public transportation stop, but this is the easiest). They are sold at the bus stop which is right outside of both Terminal 1 & 2.
    2) On the screen click the Union Jack flag and it will appear in English.
    3) You can buy 30 min., 90 min., 24 hrs., or 72 hrs. A three day ticket costs about $15 and you can use it for any mode of public transportation.
    4) On your first ride just make sure to validate the ticket, which you can do right on the bus.
    5) Sometimes the ticket won't fit in the slot for validation (this happened to me) because it was miscut...just see an agent and they will snip the ticket (no need to buy another one!).
    6) The 119 bus takes you to the Metro (subway) and it arrives like every five minutes.
    7) At your stop, if the door doesn't open, there is a button you can push right on the door which will open it.
    8) When you are on the escalator stand to the right and walk to the left.
    9) Give up your seat for people with children, pregnant women and the elderly.
    10) People will bump into you...they are not being rude...it's just the way it is in Prague, no offense intended.
    Prague is a beautiful city...you will have a blast...oh, make sure you wear comfortable shoes...the cobblestones, trolly tracks, etc. can be tough on the feet.

      With bumping tho - make sure that you still have your belongings. Prague is full of pickpockets, they'll pick your pockets while bumping into you, and they're very quick, you won't be able to tell a difference. They might steal your keys, your phone, wallet, etc. It's especially bad with tourism high hours (mainly on weekends) - where there are a lot of people at the same time in the same place, there's a lot of commotion, a lot of chaos, and a lot of opportunities for pickpockets to loot. I'm not saying you should avoid going into Prague, I'm just saying to be aware of the pickpockets there and make sure you've got control over your belongings all the time.

      Just got back from my second visit to Prague and there is one more thing I'd like to add: don't mess with the street cars! They have the right of way and they WILL NOT stop for you. There is a streetcar that runs near Malostranska Metro, on the road that leads to the base of the Charles Bridge, on the Castle side. There is a place where the streetcar passes within about 12 inches of a wall. As I was walking with my wife there was a guy up ahead of us who tried to squeeze between the streetcar and the wall as it was passing and that man almost lost his life. I was rattled, but not as bad as he was.

    My wife & I were done in by mistake #4. We took the bus upon arrival at the airport. When we arrived at their subway and on our way to town, we were approached by 2 so called inspectors in uniform and said our tickets not valid. We were told to get off at next stop where there were no people around, took our US passports and was told to pay the fines or we are to be arrested.
    We paid up rather than have them ruin our vacation even further. Just though of the fines as entrance fees to Prague.
    I always though it was unconscionable for their local government to treat tourists ,who have no idea how their system work, like that. When you validate the ticket, there is no green or red light indicators , just look for the printed date otherwise if you do it twice or more , it prints over the same spots and becomes hard to read.

Or call me a prude, you can read about trasport system in the city in advance. Pitty me, such a wast of time on 8 hours flight. And small thing when you look at the validated ticket, you see an date and time stamp there inked. As in paris, as in germany, as in spain.

      Liked I said in my top comment, Prague people represent terribly Czech Republic. A lot my friends had bad image about the Czechs because the bad experiences they had in Prague (airport, in restaurants, pubs, public transport). I lived there 2 years and I can guarantee you that they are (most of them) very cold people, not nice to foreigners, extremely selfish and living their bubble life and a little impatient. Not talking about the lazy people who doesn't want to work properly and wants yours money on tips!! Very sad sometime.. And the funny thing they import a lot food from Poland, Spain and Germany. But regarding the foreigners of those countries they don't treat them so nicely. It seems they are impatient all the time.
      Czechs from Moravia are much nicer, but not so much famous.

    The ticket inspectors wear a ring, on the palm side it has a little plastic badge in the shape of the PID (Prague Public Transport) logo. Don't be stressed out if you see this, simply show them your validated ticket or app and they'll move on. The app is excellent, you can buy the 30 minute, 90 minute, 1 day and 3 day passes as well as 1 month, 3 month and annual pass (although I think you have to prove residency status for the annual pass).

    Can someone pls explain why the tickets for tourists are SO expensive in Prague? I’m a frequent visitor and I usually spend 3-4 days in the city.. I pay 330 crowns (14 euros) for a 72 hour ticket , and often additionally 120 crowns (5 euros) for a 24 hour one… and guess how much is a monthly ticket? 550 crowns (24 euros) , it’s just a bit more than I pay for a 4-day ticket…
    for comparison:
    In my city: Warsaw, a monthly ticket for all means of public transport is 110 pln, which is ALSO about 24 euros .. but a 72-hour ticket costs 36 pln (188 czk / 8 euros), it’s almost twice as cheap as in Prague

    I bought a ticket from the kiosk and no one told me that i had to validate it. Luckily for me no one caught me. I went to my hotel, freshened up and came back to city centre. My ticket was for 90 minutes so on my return i wanted to buy additinal ticket and there was no kiosk at the central station (masarykovo nadrazi). Asked a gentleman who looked like a ticket inspector and he was about to give me a ticket when i showed him my ticket wh8ch was not validate. He was gracious enough to infirm me how to do it.
    Not much clear instrcutions in the kiosk. And the "help" section on the kiosk just refuses to load. And no idea what a full price and half price ticket it. Seriously, very difficult for tourists. Although i loved the service, so much can be improved.

They pretend not to understand even if you show them the big suitcase or they want to sell you the extra ticket only without the ordinary ticket. Once I even wrote it in Czech on a sheet of paper and the old clerk pretendend not to understand. I don't know why, but I'm sure that in all those situation there was a ticket collector or ticket inspector waiting for foreigners... P.s.: Congratulations for your amazing legs, Valery.

    It is the same in Latvia where I have lived. You must purchase a ticket or a card and you must validate it. There are points inside buses and trams where you can do that. The modern trams have ticket machines on board where you can buy a ticket. You never know when a pair of ticket conductors are going to show up so it is unwise to travel without a ticket or a card and to forget to validate it. I once failed to validate mine and so I got fined (the conductor was a young man who spoke good English, although I speak Latvian and he also had a credit card machine so I didn't have to be escorted to an ATM)
    Therefore, this is no different to my reality of using public transport.

    woah - let's back up a bit. Seniors use the public transit free? Subway only or buses, too? Please say more because the entire system sounds complicated and full of compliance issues.
    I'm a senior (very). My only ID that shows my age is my US passport. I will not be walking around in Prague (or any other city in the world) with the original. But I will have a photocopy of the primary page with me. Will that satisfy any inspectors I might encounter?
    Must I be a citizen? For example, in the USA, seniors qualify for all official and commercial discounts regardless of citizenship. But in Australia where I visit family, as a non-Aussie, I am not allowed transit discounts (obvious disrespect to foreign visitors who spend a lot more money daily than most Au citizens). .
    What other discounts and privileges might be available as a visiting senior in Prague during my planned visit next August (2023?)
