All public transport that operates in Prague is very clean, all seats are comfortable and the transport runs strictly on schedule. Another feature of Prague public transport is the ability to purchase a single ticket for trips by metro, bus, tram, funicular. Such travel tickets are very convenient for all tourists of the city and the cost depends on the duration of your trip.

  • The ticket for 24 kroons (9 kroons for a child) includes one journey by bus or tram, the duration of which will not exceed 30 minutes. This ticket does not include transfers. Also, this travel card is possible for trips on the subway, and your journey should not be more than five stations. It is possible to transfer to another metro line.
  • The travel card for 32 kroons (13 kroons for a child) will allow you to move around the city for 90 minutes.

    With such a ticket, you can not only ride any transport, but also change from one type to another (from metro to bus).


  • The ticket for 110 kroons (50 kroons for a child) allows you to ride any form of public transport an unlimited number of times within 24 hours.
  • The ticket for 310 kroons (children under 15 free of charge) will allow you to move around the city for three days on any type of public transport, an unlimited number of trips.
  • Monthly pass for 670 kroons
  • Where to buy

    Tickets in Prague can be purchased at the following places: metro stations, newsstands, street vending machines, public transport information centres, hotels and some other places.

    An excellent solution for an urgent purchase of a ticket is the ability to pay for travel via SMS messages (Prague keeps pace with the times! ).

    Owners of a mobile phone with a Czech operator card can purchase an SMS ticket by sending an SMS to 90.06:

  • DPT32 - 90 minutes for 32 CZK
  • DPT24 - 30 minutes for 24 CZK
  • DPT110 - 24 hours for 110 CZK
  • DPT310 - 72 hours for 310 CZK
  • How to validate a ticket

    There is a yellow punching machine on the bus, tram, near the escalator in the metro, where you need to punch your ticket. In the event that you do not validate your ticket, it is considered invalid. If you are going to transfer from one mode of transport to another, then you do not need to re-stamp your ticket. The time of the first stamp is taken into account.

    In the Czech Republic, you can take a chance and ride a "hare", but such trips threaten with a fine of 700 crowns. There are regular checks on all flights, and sometimes you won’t even be able to guess about the control, because the checkers are dressed in civilian clothes.

    Moreover, such checks are mainly carried out on tourist routes of public transport, so be prepared to meet with controllers.
