How to Use the Prague Metro (Praha) 

Yes, I need to go back to Prague, love that city, would like to spend a couple of months there, next time.

Thank you, happy you are enjoying the videos! 😀

Thank you for the feedback. I didn't want to do a video of just me sat talking but have some cuts to the metro system itself. Glad you enjoyed it.

Interesting, didn't know that. I'm heading back to Prague in July, so will bear that in mind :)

ExploreList yeah, but you have to watch out that you don't travel beyond the Prague zone, as the tickets are not valid there. There's usually a map labelled PID at every station that shows where the zone borders are and on the paper departure boards, trains that do accept these tickets are marked with "jizdenky PID" (or something like this, I don't remember exactly)

Great advice, thank you! :)

ExploreList you're welcome :)

Not only that but you can also use them on the public transport boats going across the river and the funicular going up to the Petřín hill

Thanks for the comment. Yes, on Line C, all of the trains are new, on Line A, B, they are still using the older trains. There are going to start developing Line D in 2017, which should link the city with the airport, and that'll make life easier.

Line D should connect south-east part of the city with city centre. There is probably going to be a normal railway connection to the airport.

+ExploreList i think line A will connect airport which is on the west, line D should be connection between Pankrac (C) and Náměstí Miru.

Airport and city will connect train from Masarykovo nádraží.

Good to know for the next time I visit Prague! :)

I created this video more for RU-vid search, as I did find the metro a little confusing and a lot of Americans and British visit the city. This metro was so reliable.

You should go to Prague, it's a beautiful city, highly recommended.

@@remotedarren on my Bucket list 👌

I love Prague 😍

Yes, very cheaper. I didn't mention it in the video but a monthly pass for metro, trams and buses has cost me £13 (approx €20), which when you compare that with the 3 day pass price, it's really good value for money. I think the 1-day and 3-day passes are a little expensive, compared to the rest of the tickets because they know tourists will mainly buy them.

This is not cheap for the Czechs. The London Underground is cheaper for the British than for the Czechs in Prague. Most Czechs do not travel abroad. No money.

@@DarkauronCZ Hovorím v mojom mene, a v mene podobných, ktorých je najviac vo východnej Europe. A poviem na rovine, že kto u nás žije v prepychu, tak asi je zúčastníkom nejakého špinavého biznisu, ako je dajme tomu podvádzanie ľudí, že všelijaké výrobky znamenajú riešenie rôznych zdravotných problémov, alebo šírenie drogovej sieti.

@@zongihangi11 What are you talking about? Most of Prague citizens have month or year pass which is very very cheap. If you buy year pass, it's 304 CZK for month! That's almost for free. Ofcourse paper tickets are not cheap, that's logical. But if you are here as tourist you don't have to care about that, it's not so expensive for do some trip to Prague or vacation for few days. 90 minutes ticket is price of one beer. :-D

Hey, thanks for subscribing! Lots of new adventures coming up, so watch this space!

Thanks for the feedback, it keeps me creating videos! :)

Glad you found the video useful :)

Hey, this video is a few years old now, so I’m not sure how the new card works. Has been a few years since I was in Prague.

@@remotedarren Well, how can I get information about it then?

Thanks for the comment! :)

Good tip, I never know where to stand lol

it looks like they are doing same thing in Lisbon where I was this year

Hi Krupa, if you are landing at that time, then it is likely that the metro system will probably not be running, I think it finishes at midnight. The best thing to do is to book an airport transfer in advance and get picked up at the airport and taken directly to your hotel. I have used this company four times now, www.prague-airport-transfers.co.uk/ and recommend them. Prague isn't currently that accessible from the airport, you have to get the 119 bus, to the Nádraží Veleslavín station, and then you are on the 'A' line, to Staroměstská and then it is a 900 metre walk to the hotel. As I said though, at that time of the night you might struggle to get public transport.

Thanks! It won't be for everyone but, useful for those heading off to Prague. I found the ticketing there a little different than normal subway's, so thought it deserved a video.

I love Prague, one of my favourite European cities, I will be back.

Hey Mark, no you have to get a bus to the first station, Nadrazi Veleslavin (Green Metro Line A). I think the bus number is 119 from memory, I'm sure the airport will confirm that on arrival. There's buses going there regularly.

@@remotedarren Thanks for your help much appreciated

Benny Gagaoin hey, yes you can. I should have mentioned this. You can buy day tickets, weekly and monthly.

@@remotedarren Thank you.. Prague metro is more simple in prague than Italy and Berlin..

You can buy a one year ticket too

Thanks, will remember that the next time I'm in Prague.
