This the main bus station in Prague, a decent size for a stand-alone bus depot, unlike some major…read morecities, isn't located in the exact place as the main train station, however it is kitty-corner from the secondary train station. Located in the part of the city east of the Vltava River, not too far from the Historická budova Národního muzea (National Museum), I t's about a 5 minute drive or 20 minute walk from the main train station Praha Hlavní nádraží. It's also a short 4-5 minute walk to the secondary train station Praha Masarykovo. There are both local buses and long haul buses that stop here, some which drive to/from as far as Amsterdam or Strasbourg. The building layout is pretty simple, an entrance on the west side of a rectangular building, and directly in front of the building a paved loop for pickup/drop off, then further in front of that multiple bus lanes laid out in the parking lot with numbered stops. Inside the building as you walk in, on the left there's a row of ticket counters followed by an information counter above which is a screen with bus departures and arrivals. On the right side are some shops and fast food restaurants, in the center area some seats for waiting. I was able to locate to locate my bus fairly quickly and board about 10 minutes prior to departure. I would recommend getting there at least 20 minutes in advance if you're not too familiar with the area. It's walkable or you can take the local buses or metro within a couple blocks away. Found the facilities modern though utilitarian, generally speaking clean and in good working order. There are also some covered bus stops along the sides of the parking lot in case you're waiting outside for your bus.

I'd choose the bus station over the train station in Prague ANY DAY. Yes, that deserves all caps…read more At least it's easy to figure out where to go in the Florenc bus station! There's a cute little convenience store on-site so you can stock up on snacks before boarding your bus. There's also two fast food restaurants -- I've only been to the Burger King. They provide limited seating. There's also an indoor seating area in front of the departure/arrival boards, which is appreciated on cold or rainy days or when there's a delay....which happens often with FlixBus. I took the bus from Prague to Berlin, Munich, and Vienna (2x). It's a really easy and cheap way to get around. Plus, the bus station is connected to the metro, bus, and tram lines for an efficient experience all around.

To go down we decided to take the funicular. It's nice too, I recommend you to do one way hiking…read moreand the other way on the funicular so you'll have both experiences! To buy the tickets you have a machine but it's with coins only, that could be uncomfortable. Para bajar decidimos tomar el funicular. Es muy lindo también, les recomiendo hacer una ida caminando y la otra en funicular y así tenes ambas experiencias! Para comprar los tickets tenes la maquina pero solo es con monedas, eso puede ser incomodo.

The most comfortable and (for almost everybody) the fastest way up the hill called Petřín from old…read moretown or city center. There are three common ways how to get to Petrin park located on the top of Petrin hill: on foot from tram stop Pohoralec (approx. 10 minute walk to Petrin Tower), on foot from river Vltava past Ujezd tram stop walking up the hill takes at least 20 minutes. Or take the funicular located next to tram stop Ujezd. During mean times it departs every 10 minutes and it takes up to 5 minutes to get up but be aware of ques during tourist season when you may not get into first departing cab. Since the funicular is part of Prague public transport system you can use your already bought unmarked or marked valid tickets or buy there new ones that will be valid in other means of transport too. Its good way how to cut your time needed to get up, to see Prague Castle or to experience something a bit different in moving city.

Never travelling Prague again..Scum country I travelled to…read morePrague last week for 3 days with my husband and 2 young kids and purchased 72 hour travel ticket to cover my stay. However as soon as we had entered train after purchasing our ticket train inspectors have followed us on the train and fined us for not activating our tickets. The inspectors could have warned us before we got on the train to validate our tickets However instead they waited for us to get on the train and fined us immediately. This is disgusting, as I tourist I will never travel prague again I feel that is a scum that government allows to happen to tourists intentionally to make money. I lived and travelled in the Europe all my life and never experienced such stupid rule. If I'm only in a country for 3 days and paid for 3 day travel ticket how can I be fined for such minor mistake. Clearly I'm not benefitting from the mistake either. Also what's the point in purchasing the ticket? You might as well just get on the train without a train ticket and pay the fine if you get caught, that way you will at least save money on the train ticket???

Three cheers for the inexpensive and efficient Prague Public Transit Company, who operate the…read moresubway, trams and buses in the capital of the Czech Republic. Founded in 1897, the company was initially in the business of generating and distributing electricity and then focused on mass transit after nationalization of the energy industries in 1946. The company graduated to being a joint-stock company wholly owned by the City of Prague in 1991. I rode the metro several times around the city and the trams got me to where I needed to be. Easy to ride and there are multiple different vendors of tickets. We got ours from the hotel and for CZK 32 (about $1.25) you ride for 90 minutes or spend three times as much and ride for 24 hours. You must activate your ticket at any station, which stamps a time on it as indicator of validity. A little crowded at times but the trains are clean and there seemed to be enough seating when needed. Announcements in the city core were in Czech and in English. [Review 12214 overall, 1998 of 2019.]
