A great video guys. Some extra info. I got a nice shock on my birthday last year - I'm 60. A litacka (season ticket) is a THIRD of the price not half. Blew my mind. If you are between 60 and 65 and here for a week, get a monthly pass. It's 130kcs. Have a lovely day from an old piano player.

A little list for tourists from around the world: → 30 min / 30CZK = 1.19 EUR = 1.30 US$ = 1.02 GBP → 90 min / 40CZK = 1.59 EUR = 1.73 US$ = 1.35 GBP → 24 hrs / 120CZK = 4.76 EUR = 5.19 US$ = 4.07 GBP → 72 hrs / 330CZK = 13.09 EUR = 14.26US$ = 11.18GBP Of course, the amounts may vary slightly from day to day but this little list should work as a good reference for most of you! :)

Don’t like them fining you when the machine is broken. Here in Seattle you get a free ride when that happens.😢 A very nice explanation.

@SaxonyELK 3 месяца назад

Yeah, also from where I've grown up. If the ticket machine is broken in the tram, you get a free ride if you don't already have a ticket and the inspectors will send the number of the vehicle out, so that other ticket inspectors won't board the tram until it got repaired. Only this is fair!

Excellent video! Really saved me a lot of bother on my trip to Prague last week however I feel maybe Val contact the tourism agency for Prague and advise them this will put off a lot of tourists. I seen two lots of Chinese 🇨🇳 tourists being stung for 3000 Kc due to wrong passes! I think someone like you would have positive impact as tourists will aviod Prague it’s a lot of money for simple errors 😢

Brilliant 👏🏻 that’s a very informative and useful video. We walked everywhere, the only time we got on a tram was with your husband to the castle😉 and then he was very good in getting the point over of how to get them validated. The first time I came we stayed on the outside of Prague 🤷🏼‍♂️ all I can remember is there was a very large IKEA on the other side of the motorway we came in on. We would get the metro into Prague every morning. Very fast and extremely clean “unlike London Underground 🫣” I think when we visited again we will still walk, there’s so many beautiful buildings that you would miss and it’s so easy to get around most of the things to see👍

@Francesanne_a.k.a._Tan 3 месяца назад

Great video! This type of tutorial is what I was looking for❤ I was there last February. Where I am presently living and where I grew up subways and trams are non existent 😅. Transportation is by car, by means of driving. If not for my Swiss trip last year I would not have plucked the courage to take tram and subway after 1 day in Prague. I think that every country you go to should have a guide in youtube on the transpo system because there are certain laws that vary. For european countries these transpo system are normal, but for other tourists w/o this is challenging.

@nizark.5265 9 часов назад

I think you had missed one important thing about buying tickets inside the Tram ! Inside it there are couple of machines to "valid some plastic ticket" and one machine to by ticket using credit card / ApplePay , where its located ?! usually in the middle of the Tram and you have next to the tram door a sticker that says in this cabin you can buy a ticket !!

@michaelkongstedt 2 месяца назад

Best option for the tourist, buy the 72 hour ticket. No worries for 3 days... Just hop on and off all you like.

@darwinmerdes2941 3 месяца назад

Great video. I still have a question as to how the luggage addition works. If I buy a 72 hour ticket with the additional of the Luggage is the luggage addition only valid for the first 180 minutes of that journey?(or for the validity of the 72 hour pass?)

@DanieleGiannattasio 3 месяца назад

"The luggage/animal fare (20 CZK) is paid by 20 CZK discounted tickets for Prague (zones P, 0, B). Time and zone validity is the same as the validity of passenger tickets, however no longer than 180 minutes. If passengers have a ticket with a time validity of one or more days, they can transport one piece of luggage or animal for free (except on PID trains)." By the way, up to 25×45×70cm it's always free.

@chrisfarley7734 3 месяца назад

It covers all the means of public transport: metro, tram, bus, funicular, ferry and even trains as long as it is within the city limits.

I don’t understand why your government allows the inspectors to be so unfair. One question - as 65 + can I also travel on the boat & funicular for free with my passport?

@letecmig 2 дня назад

What is unfair about it? The rule is as simple as it could be: entering the public transport with a ticket without validation= its 'no ticket'. The rule can't be any simpler. PRG public transport system is based on honesty system which relies on very simple rules that need to be enforced to keep the 'honesty' aspect working in a city of 1.3 million where like 90% of people use the public transport daily. (and yes, tourists are negligible percentage of users of the system, although it might not seem as such when in few stations in the historic center)

Your passport is fine, but a month's pass is 130 Kčs, the same as 24 hours +10 Kčs. Otherwise it's 50% discount on tickets.

@nelsonpatel8624 3 месяца назад

You can show your drivers license from you country as long as it shows your birth date to prove your age, and I wouldn't recommend you carry passport around because you don't want to lose the passport. My parents are in their 80's and they show thier Florida DL and it works great. The senior age to travel free in Czech Republic 65 yrs or older and 60-64 age is dicounted ticket and you need a ticket.

@cherylburnett7346 3 месяца назад

I mentioned a passport because that is what all the sites say, so a driver's license will work? Thanks for the feedback. @@nelsonpatel8624

@fingersfinesilver 3 месяца назад

@@nelsonpatel8624 I would definitely recommend you carry your passport around because it's the law. The Driving Licence is OK for ticket inspectors but for the police it's different. I have the quote from the Department of Foreign Affairs. "Residency and Entry Requirements You should be aware that whilst you are in the Czech Republic, you are required by law to carry ID at all times. Residents must carry their Residence Permit whilst tourists or short-term visitors are obliged to carry their passport at all times for identification purposes."

@nelsonpatel8624 3 месяца назад

@@fingersfinesilver I have been traveling to Prague from Florida every year except during COVID travel ban time since 2006, because I have my own apartment in Praha 7 Holesovice and I never carry my passport when in the city, but a valid DL is fine for identification and requirements. It is risky to carry your passport at all times for getting lost or stolen from pick pocket. You only need a passport when traveling by train crossing country borders or boarding a plane, and entering a new country for customs. I have never been asked to show my passport in prague all these years except when I go to my bank for banking purpose from my own account is when i carry my pasport or when I exchange money at exchange center.
