Prague Public Transport


City Integrated Transport

Trams

The long history of trams in Prague dates right back to 1875 and today the tram network covers a huge part of the city. When the metro has finished for the night (shortly after midnight) the tram service continues to run. The city has a number of tram types some of which have low floor access to assist the getting on and off of people with prams, wheelchairs or other physical restrictions. For those who enjoy a nostalgic journey there is the old historic tram which leaves from its depot in Stresovice along the number 91 route taking you right through the centre of the city. This experience can be enjoyed every weekend from March till November. Another possibility is to take the Funicular tram which climbs high above the city to Petrin.

Buses

1925 is the year associated with the use of the first bus route running from Vrsovice to Zabehlice. Today Prague’s bus transport network encompasses with large number of bus lines, including low-floor-buses. Because of high volumes of traffic taking a bus may not be as stress free or punctual as the metro especially within the centre of the city. However to the outskirts of Prague the bus service is invaluable. In the city centre a number of convenient and speedy low floor (for easy access) electro buses run which can use less busy streets. Prague also has 13 night bus routes in operation once the metro finishes.

Metro

In 1974 the first metro line opened in Prague upon what was, and is still called Line C connecting Sokolovska station (today Florenc) with Kacerov. Today there are three metro lines A,B and C, traversing the city in all directions serving a total of 54 stations. Using the metro is the most comfortable and reliable means of getting around especially in the centre of the city.

Train

Prague is the most important rail hub in Czech Republic and Ceske Drahy a.s. is the name of the national train operator. The city has four main railway stations: Hlavni nadrazi, Masarykovo nadrazi, Nadrazi Holesovice and Nadrazi Smichov. The country has a very comprehensive rail network to the best of European standards. Along international and intercity routes trains of the highest quality and luxury connect all of continental Europe with Prague. For travel within the country trains are also very convenient, especially the Pendolino, Euroregio and City Elephant lines. It is good to find out in advance, what kind of train you will be taking.
