For tourists, it will be very convenient for exploring the city and will allow you to enjoy the sights, bridges and promenades of Prague from the window. The tram can safely be called one of the symbols of Prague.

Schedule and time of trams in Prague
At each tram stop, you can find route schedules and arrival times. On holidays, ordinary leaflets with changes in movement are hung on the schedule. In connection with the reconstruction and repair of the track, it sometimes happens that the routes change slightly. Information about this is usually present at stops. On weekends, the schedule is slightly different from business days.
Two to three routes or more often pass through one stop. Usually the tram waiting time in Prague does not exceed five minutes.
They go from 4.30 in the morning to 01.00 hours.

Tram Historic Route 91 in Prague
Vozovna Střešovice - Výstaviště - it is on this route that the museum route runs, which is sometimes called historical. By the way, this depot in 2009 was 100 years old. This is the inscription on the roof of the tram, which I barely managed to photograph.
Tram only works in summer. From April to October at the weekend you can ride on it. More about my train.
Sometimes the route changes due to reconstruction along the route.
The cost is 35 Czech crowns.
By the way, in 2010, Mayor Tram No. 200 celebrated 110 years. Read more about this most valuable exhibit of the museum. And the remaining trams in Prague celebrated the 120th anniversary in the same year. To read .
Prague Tram History
Now in Prague there are seven 7 tram depots and one park-museum Vozovna Střešovice. Depot: Hloubětín, Kobylisy, Motol, Pankrác, Strašnice, Vokovice, Žižkov.
The first rails in Prague began on September 23, 1874. Then the carriage, driven by horses, proceeded along the route "Karlin - National Theater". The owner and road was a Belgian entrepreneur Eduard Ottlet.
In 1876, the rails were laid to the Smikhovsky station through the bridge. In 1982, the network was expanded and the tram went to Vinohrady and Zizkov. A year later, the length of the routes was already about 20 kilometers.
The first electric tram went on Flight in 1891. In 1893 the line was extended to the Governor's Villa. In 1898 the road Prague - Vinohrady was laid. The development of trams in Prague continued and this type of transport gained great and great popularity among residents.
In 1898, Konka was bought by electric enterprises and construction of new tracks and reconstruction of old ones began. The last route that was electrified was the route through the Charles Bridge, which operated until 1908.
During the First World War, sanitary trams were used to transport the wounded. In addition to people, they transported weapons, ammunition and other goods.
Now the park has about 1000 wagons, not including museum exhibits and staff. There are only two tram brands - Tatra and Skoda. The most modern is the Skoda-15 T (pictured left). The previous model - Skoda - 14T looks no less modern. Vetra brand Tatra is well known to Russians. The same trams run along the rails of Russian cities.
This tram does not land passengers. He is training.
Veterans sometimes fail. Breakage We almost reached the Republic Square. I had to go on foot.
A tram breakdown caused a tram congestion. Here you can’t go around the sidelines. The drivers opened the doors and most of the people dispersed. But the damage was fixed after 15 minutes. So this happens.
Public transport in can be described with one good German proverb: “Order is half life” (Ordnung ist das halbe Leben). Let the Czech neighbors - the Germans jokingly, sometimes continue the proverb as follows: “but the mess is different” (und Unordnung die andere Hälfte), but, believe me, only its first part applies to the Prague system of urban transport!
Prague historic tram. Route 41 (formerly 91)
It’s even hard to imagine how many hours, days, months, and maybe years the average citizen of Prague saves, compared with the residents of Russian megacities, which often “live” in traffic jams. The city transport network consists of 3 metro lines, 134 bus lines, 30 tram lines and covers the entire city. In addition, electric trains within Prague, boat crossings over the Vltava and the cable car to Petřín Hill are integrated in the urban transport scheme. Moreover, all types of public transport are available on a single ticket, which has only a time limit.

Prague historic tram. Route 41

Nostalgic tram line in Prague
The restless leaders of Prague public transport from March 25 this year launched a new tram route number 23 calling it nostalgic.
On the route: Královka - Malovanka - Pražský hrad - Královský letohrádek - Malostranská - Malostranské náměstí - Újezd \u200b\u200b- Národní divadlo - Národní třída - Karlovo náměstí - IP Pavlova - Vinoradka "Back in 1962. To the 55th anniversary of the legendary tram, the nostalgic tram line in Prague was opened.
The fare on the nostalgic route is standard and is no different from other city trams. Interval of movement of the route: 07:20 - 19:35, every 15-20 minutes. More information about the nostalgic route can be found on the Prague public transport website using this link. The exact schedule and stops of the route on the map can be found there on this link by inserting the number of the tram in the “Linka” column, in this case - 23 and clicking the “vyhledat” button.
Funicular in Prague. How to get there. Working hours
Funicular to Petřín Hill in Prague
In 1985, the funicular (Lanová dráha) on Petřín Hill was included in the public transport system of Prague. The length of the route consisting of three stations: Újezd \u200b\u200b(County) - Nebozízek (Nebozizek) - Petřín (Petršin) is 510 meters. Lower stationÚjezd It is located on the street of the same name next to the monument to the victims of communism and the tram stop of routes No. 9, 12 and 22.
At the top of the hill is the Petřín station, not far from which is the 60-meter Petřínska Tower (Petřínska rozhledna). The cable car is open daily from 9:00 to 23:30. The dispatch interval is 10-15 minutes. The fare can be paid with a regular public transport ticket for 24 Kč (CZK). The funicular does not work for technical reasons from March 10 to 28 and from October 6 to 24, inclusive.
Prague. Electric trains. timetable
Prague train
There are more than 40 different commuter train routes in Prague and all of them are available in zones P, 0 and B with a regular public transport ticket for 24 Kč or 32 Kč. If we take the time interval, these zones include urban areas located 25-30 minutes from the main Prague stations: Main Station (Praha – Hlavní nádraží), Masarykovo nádraží Station and Smichov Station (Praha – Smíchov) . The interval of movement of commuter trains depending on the direction is usually 30 minutes from 4:00 to 23:30 without a lunch break.
If you live, for example, in the metropolitan areas of Praha 14 or Praha 21, then sometimes it makes sense to take an electric train directly from the city center from Masaryk station to the Kyje or Klánovice station. The travel time in the first case will be 9 minutes, and in the second - 20. To determine how it is more convenient for you to get from point “A” to point “B” at a given time, use a router on
Prague boat crossing
In the Czech capital there are 5 boat crossings over the Vltava River, which are available with a regular city ticket for 24 Kč. Two routes: P1 and P2 operate year-round, and routes P3, P5 and P6 operate only in the warm season. The interval of movement depending on the route leaves 7.5 - 30 minutes from 5:25 to 22:00. If you live in the center, the only boat crossing convenient for you is route P5 (Císařská louka - Výtoň - Náplavka Smíchov), which originates from the Raszynova embankment (Rašínovo nábřeží) at the railway bridge under the Vysehrad fortress (public transport stopVýtoň) The interval of movement of the route P5: April - October every 30 minutes from 8:00 to 20:00.
Taxi in Prague
For our dear readers who use the services of taxi services “Uber” and “Gett” nothing will change with a trip to Prague. They will continue to use their mobile application, as well as in the city of permanent residence. We will note to other travelers that until recently, using the services of Prague taxi drivers was comparable to the pleasure received from the services of their Russian colleagues. Here is how Louis James describes their work in the British guide to Prague by Thomas Cook:
“Drivers often add a price. When taking a taxi, pay attention to whether the meter is on. If you suspect that you were deceived, ask for a check and write down the number of the car. Try not to use a taxi if you are traveling from the airport or from Old Town Square: the prices from here are prohibitive. ”
In our opinion, the situation with taxis in Prague has noticeably improved lately, but it’s still safer to use the services of the company that we and other tourists have repeatedly verified personally, although questions to its drivers arise:
Company AAA- The most popular Prague taxi. You can order a taxi to anywhere in the city in English by phone: +420 222 333 222, or using your mobileapplication companies in your smartphone;
Prague. Taxi company "AAA"
Instead of a bus tour of Prague, take a free tour of tram number 22. Its route is ideal for exploring Prague. A tram runs every 5-10 minutes and passengers can get off or catch it on any part of the route (a standard ticket costs 32 kroons and is valid for 90 minutes).
Take the tram in the New Town and drive across the river to Malaya Strana and then to the castle (Pohořelec stop). You will be surprised to find how easy it is to ride a tram. Get a ticket and boldly go to the castle (saving a lot of trouble and 250 crowns by taxi).
Start the route from the Narodni Trida stop (opposite the metro station bearing the same name; on the same side of the road as the Tesco supermarket). The tram will rattle along Narodni Trida (National Street). Or, due to the close and convenient location of hotels and restaurants, the excursion can start with a stop at Mira Square (Náměstí Míru, 4 stops to Narodni Trida).
Next stop is Národní Divadlo (National Theater). Here, before the tram crosses the river, you will see the National Theater and cafe Slavia itself on the opposite side. Consider renting a boat (on the pier), a walk along romantic beaches, and admiring the beautiful views of the castle. Four hundred meters upstream is the Dancing House, designed by architect Frank Gehry.
The next stop is Újezd, opposite the park. Pay attention to the monument in memory of the victims of communism - bronze statues descending the steps. The funicular will take you to Petrin hill to the tower, similar to the Eiffel.
Then the tram goes north from the stop at Hellichova, parallel to the Kampa island on the right (from the side of the river). On the left you will see the Church of St. Mary the Victorious, popular among pilgrims thanks to the baby Jesus. Then the tram slowly rises uphill and ends up on Malostranskaya Square. Take a look at Charles Bridge (on the right, at the end of the street).
Then the tram stops at the bus stop closest to Charles Bridge, on Malostranskaya Square. This is the main square of the Lesser Country, notable for the church of St. Nicholas. From here, along Nerudova Street, you can stroll to Prague Castle.
On the left, 15 meters from the Malostranská stop, is the entrance to the Wallenstein Gardens. On the right side, in the park behind you is a modern monument to the soldiers of World War II (behind it begins a bridge over the Vltava River, leading to the Josefov quarter). This is the longest route between stops, ideal for inspectors to catch free riders. Climbing up the mountain and turning sharply to the left, you will see the Písek gate or the Písecká Brána gate on the right - one of the few gates left over from the Baroque fortifications and still preserved.
Next stop is Královský Letohrádek. Across the street from it are the Royal Garden and the Royal Summer Palace, from where (for a special aroma) you can find a public toilet and Prague Castle.
If you cannot wait to see the sights of the castle, get off at the Pražský Hrad stop and go straight to the castle entrance. If you have free time, take another stop and take a pleasant walk from Pohořelec, described below.
The next stop is Brusnice, which overlooks the New World (Nový Svět) - an area with tiny houses and cobbled streets, where there are no shops and you can rarely meet tourists. To get here from the stop, take a walk through a small park with a statue (front left), and then go down the stairs.
The tram runs along the green spaces surrounding the remains of the city walls. The best route to the castle begins at the Pohořelec stop. It is also the closest stop to the Strahov Monastery. From here, go down or take the tram in the opposite direction and take the same walk from the other end.
How to prolong the excursion: if you want to see everyday Prague without any signs of tourists, drive another three stops on the same tram and you will see fancy shops with French cheeses and seafood. This area, which has remained unchanged since the 1930s, is currently inhabited by young cosmopolitan families. Inexpensive, but very tasty lunch can be ordered in the cafe “At the White Lion”, which will be located to the left of the stop. Across the road, next to the seafood shop, is a small bakery cafe offering a wide range of pastries and poppy seed buns. From here you can walk or drive 2 tram stops to the Brevnovsky Monastery - a quiet Benedictine monastery, which is 5 stops from Pohořelec. The monastery is built in the Baroque style and contains a small restaurant, garden and even the popular Adalbert Hotel. You can return to the castle and Strahov Monastery at any time simply by catching tram number 22 in the opposite direction.
Prague is not only very popular, but also very convenient. Easy to fly, easy to move around and easy to learn. The city is located on a hilly area on both banks of the Vltava River, which made traveling on it for both of them labor-intensive. One climb to the Prague Castle is worth what!
Today I decided to talk about the use of public transport in Prague. For me, well versed in transport, it is not a problem to study the system of a new city for myself. But this repels many people, and not everyone will take a taxi or rent a car for trips around the city.
This entire report is based on photographs that will illustrate my every action. Photos were taken in the summer of 2016. Relevance of the text - 2017. Do not take this material as an absolute encyclopedia of transport. First of all, I will talk about what is most important for every tourist and how not to make a fatal mistake.
You can read all relevant information on the website dpp.cz. You can find all relevant transport schemes, operatively updated, on this page of the site.
Tickets: types, where to buy, how to break through
Prague public transport tickets vary in validity. With any ticket, you can make an infinite number of transfers within the set time. A standard ticket (also a basic one) costs 32 CZK and gives the right to travel for 90 minutes. During these 90 minutes you must make your trip and leave the transport! This also applies to exiting the subway. At 91 minutes, you become a stowaway passenger.
There is a short-term ticket for 30 minutes. It costs 24 kroons. A ticket for a day costs 110 kroons, and for three days 310 kroons. Children's tickets are sold only for 30 minutes, 90 minutes and 1 day. Their cost is 2 times less. Children under 6 years old and pensioners from 70 years old use transport for free.
1. Ticket machines in the subway. 
2. Another option is to buy at Trafika kiosks. they can be either in the form of a tent or in the form of a small shop in the nearest house. 
3. All tickets from 30 minutes to 3 days must be punched at the first entrance to the transport. Repeated punching is not necessary. 30/90 minutes will take effect from the moment of breaking through and no matter how much time you spend on transplanting. Time will go by. For example, if at 10-00 you hit a ticket for 90 minutes, then it will cease to operate at 11-30. For this reason, I do not recommend using a ticket for 30 minutes in case of a change. 
4. The number of validators is always sufficient. 
5. In the subway, they can be located directly in front of the escalator. By taking a step across the line on the floor, you are claiming to have paid the fare. 
6. The controller may appear at any time. He checked me in a subway car. Can even check out. From the free booklets in the information centers, I learned that the fine for stowaways is 1,500 kroons. In a recent post wlad_1978
living in the Czech Republic, called the sum of 1600 crowns. The booklet informs you that payment on site or during the first 15 days is 800 kroons. In any case, this is a lot. It’s cheaper to buy a monthly pass and not suffer. 
7. If you come to Prague for 7 or more days, you may be comfortable with another type of travel - monthly. It costs 670 crowns. Its validity period is indicated on the ticket. The most convenient option to buy it is at information kiosks. The first one you will see at the airport in the transition between the terminals. It is beneficial if you come to Prague not only to see the city, but also castles in the vicinity or the nearest cities. It is interesting and very easy. The travel card will help you move around the city and not think about problems with the controllers. 
8. The next thing that is important is to have an up-to-date public transport scheme with you. (click-through increase). The basis of the system is a combination of 3 metro lines and three dozen tram lines. Metro lines form a triangle in the center, which is characteristic of the subways of the former Soviet Union. Similar intersections in the center are now being built in Minsk and Sofia. 
9. At night, trams of 50 routes and 500 routes go along other routes. They have the same tickets. Click increase. 
10. Next, go to the stops and reading information on them. At each stop there is such a typical post. 
11. The name of the stop indicates routes that are currently stopping here, and even below the change pattern. Repairs in Prague are no exception to the rule. They happen in the summer. 
12. If you doubt the route of your bus or tram, you can check the information at the bus stop. Read this plate. Tram 10 route. It follows from the SIDLISTE DABLICE stop. We are at a stop Olsanske hrbitovy
. After 1 minute, the tram will be at the Flora stop, where there is a metro stop. stops and metro stations are called the same. After 3 minutes at Orionka stop, after 4 at Perumova and so on. After 37 minutes there will be a stop on demand, indicated by an “x”. Schedules on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays are different. 
13. In modern trams, you will see a sign with a list of the next stops on the route. Route 9. Next stop is Jindrisska. 
14. Buses in the city center are rare. Most routes operate in remote areas. 
15. They also have a display with the following stops. 
16. Tram stops are always separated from the carriageway. The stop length allows two large trams to land at once. In the photo, one is double. Another one can stand behind him and make a landing. When crossing the street, be careful. The inscriptions "Pozor Tram" are not in vain. The tram has an advantage in traffic even over pedestrians. 
17. However, no matter how many stops you make, traffic jams cannot be avoided. 
18. The rolling stock of trams can be very different. The era of the old Tatras, born for the first time in Czechoslovakia and known throughout the post-Soviet space, is leaving. After decades of service, these machines are in excellent condition and are now leaving for other countries. For example, you can meet them in Ukraine. At the end of 2016, they bought these old people for development. 
19. Modern rolling stock will pleasantly surprise you. These are very convenient low-floor trams. having 6 entrance doors at once. Their number in Prague has already reached 200 units and is increasing every month. 
20. And now let's go down the subway and figure it out in this system. The Prague Metro is the most western of all built under Soviet influence. There are a number of deep stations. Navigation is simple, but combines two extremes at the same time. On one side you will be greeted by a sign: to the Depo Hostivar station, go left on 1 way, to Nemocnice Motol station Go right on the second way. 
21. More convenient signs with all stations of the line are more convenient for everyone accustomed to the post-Soviet metro. Muzeum station highlighted. The arrow from our station to the left indicates the stations that are waiting for us if we go on the way to the left. 
22. The color scheme of the pointers always indicates the line. Green pointers in large numbers indicate that we are on the green line. Arrows with red - go to red. 
23. Similar color schemes on the track walls next to the station name. We are at the yellow line station and the transition to red is possible. 
24. It is also difficult to get lost in pedestrian crossings. Yellow signs will not lie where you are going. A transfer from the metro to the tram is a bit more complicated. A tram stop near the metro may not be near the exit. At the Main Station (Hlavni Nadrazi) to get on the tram you need to go through a small square near the station. Staromestska metro, tram and square are also in different places close to each other. 
25. Metro exit signs .. 
26. At all stations, small boards hang over the tracks indicating the time to the train and the direction of movement. 
27. This train travels to Skalka station. 
28. In the subway, two types of rolling stock are used. One is old Soviet with local modernization, the other is modern German. In both the same conditions of travel, the seats are located along and across. Above each door is duplicated metro map. 
29. Announcements of stops in the old, in the new you can not hear. Therefore, I advise you to look at the scoreboard in each car. 
30. It will also report a transplant. 
You can continue talking about local transport for a long time. It is possible to purchase a ticket via SMS, electronic tickets are possible. All this can be found on the same site dpp.cz, which I indicated at the beginning. There is not a very expensive taxi, and in some areas it is not very good with parking. There are intercity buses and commuter train lines.
I talked about what the girl and I really needed while actively moving around the city. Our travel card paid off, we were not afraid of control, and we figured out the tram routes in a few minutes. I hope that it will be as easy and convenient for you to move around Prague with my tips.
