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.

Located on the B line of the Prague Metro, this underground station is near the Charles Square and…read morePalacký Square which are major tram hubs. On a Saturday morning, the station was very quiet and none of the various vendors were open. Metro Karlovo náměstí is between Anděl (towards Zličín) and Národní třída (towards Černý Most). This station is not handicapped accessible but there are escalators from the street level to the platform/ticketing level where ticket vending kiosks and ticket validation machines are placed. When we were here, the station was clean and well lit. [Review 12228 overall, 2012 of 2019.]

I always wonder who creates these business pages for metro stops... anyways this stop is quite…read moregood. Exits are extensive and can spit you out right next to the Vltava or you can get right next to Karlovo Namesti--so nice versatile way to navigate the area. There's also a decent variety of shops to buy a quick breakfast or snack if you're hungry. This stop does always have a ton of peddlers--much more so than any other stop that I've seen. The photo machine also doesn't work.. so don't try to take your passport photos there. tldr; typical stop but with decent breakfast/snack options and abnormally high number of peddlers

I stopped in at this service location to apply for my Lítačka card/pass. If you live in Prague, or…read morewill be here for an extended time, the Lítačka card is the transportation pass that saves you from having to buy individual tickets; and it works for the trams, trains, buses, and metros. You may apply for the card online and wait for it to come in the mail, or you may go to this "zákaznické centrum" (customer service center) to apply for and pick up your pass right away. For your first card, there is a 50 CZK fee (online) versus 200 CZK fee (in person) - so roughly about $2.50 USD versus about $10 USD. To note: lost/damaged cards incur the same fees, but renewing an expired card costs nothing if you do it online, and 100 CZK if you renew at this center. Also to note: take your passport and a European-sized passport photo with you. They return the photo; it is just scanned for your Lítačka card ID. So I went in on Friday afternoon, took a number, and waited my turn. There wasn't a lot of people and service was prompt! From the time they called my number, I handed over my passport and photo, and got my card - MAYBE five minutes! I mean like SUPER FAST! Once they issue the card, you then have to fill the card, either next door or at any of the metro stations ticket office. You can do monthly (550CZK/roughly $25USD), 5-month, or yearly top ups. Needless to say, the longer time-frame is more cost-efficient. Ok last thing from me about why to get the card - 1) You can use it as a library card as well and 2) You get discounts on at least 30 sights/attractions around Prague! More info here - https://www.litacka.cz/slevy. I'm definitely going back here if I have to renew my card. This one is valid for four years!
