I signed up for Yelp because I saw someone posting a negative review of his experience with LEO and…read moreI had to counter... I have lived in Prague for twelve years and have seen the evolution of train travel here, which started with old, very dilapidated trains, to now, where we have LEO. LEO is hands down the best carrier in the Czech Republic. They are a private firm. Trains are new, and it is honestly more like being on an airplane than a train. The prices are incredibly reasonable especially considering their top level service. And the food prices on board are reasonable, no rip off prices. If they are late, which is rare, they apologize on board! Their premium class is unreal-six seats in plush leather, and it's a quiet zone. Well worth the added expense. It is by far the most luxurious train experience in the Czech Republic-I only wish they traveled West to Germany as well. If you go premium book early as these sell out quickly. You can cancel even last minute. I had to cancel one order last week from Ukraine and could not call, however I sent an email to them, and they responded literally within 3 minutes and canceled for me, you cannot ask for better service than this. Their English is great too in case you don't speak Czech. They travel even to Poland and Ukraine, via train and then bus. Staff is very courteous.

Worst experience of my life Terrible service who don't…read morerespect us at all. We asked to order 5 times each time they said of course and walked away and came back an hour later after we flagged them down. We tried flagging them down many times but got ignored majority of the times. We were actually able to order but the worker said he would be right back and never came back with food. Terrible staff who don't deserve the any pay at all they don't do their jobs in the first place on checking tickets they just sit there twiddling their thumbs for hours. Along side of the terrible service and staff the train has constant delays. Never ride this again I would rather spend hundreds on a bolt. Never again would I take this train.

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!

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.

Metro Malostranská is situated next to the gardens of Wallenstein Palace. It is on Line A only…read more In terms of overall decor and look of the station, this is one of my favourite stations on the network that I visited during my time in Prague. I like the green, silver and bronze on the platform, and the statue right by the escalators to get in and out of the station made it feel very grand. Due to the river being close by, there is only one entrance, the big advantage of this is it's harder to get lost coming out of the station, if you or a friend heads out the wrong exit. The station may also be useful for those visiting Prague Castle, as it is only 500 meters away, although that route did involve a large number of steps so I wouldn't recommend it. PRO TIP: Remember the Prague Metro REQUIRES a ticket but lacks a ticket gate, remember to purchase and validate your ticket from the machines by the entrance or risk a large fine.

For me Malostranska is where its at. There is a nice restaurant, its dry, safe and clean and as European metro's go that is great. The tram stops directly outside it.

You must purchase your ticket from the mahine on the wall and its in several languages. The booth is manned sometimes but you cannot purchase tickets from here, he will give you advise if you need

We purchased in the same hour from our hotel in the same hour it was departing. So we rushed to the train station, waiting in line to check in and get our boarding tickets. Once on the train we realized our tickets have no assigned seats and if we get lucky we can find an empty seat. I gave this a 3 Yelp stars because the website did not state no seating, at the train or on the train there were no attendants anywhere to be found to answer any questions. On a positive notes, train ride is smooth, monitors to display the locations, it is on time.

They are horrible. Unreliable, obnoxious, with ludicrous "policies" aimed at trapping you in…read moreunacceptable "deals". Forget about it. And instead, travel by bus instead - much less expensive, much more reliable, flexible, clean, comfortable - . I am sorry to say that the Czech Railways demonstrates that this country has not succeeded in its integration to the EU, and they are far, very far away from even the elementary North-American standards. It is no wonder that their trains are largely empty. The locals have understood the problem long ago. And no sane person who is a visitor and who tries them once, will ever use them again. Go with the buses ! (Which are not perfect, indeed, but they are much better that this Railways fiasco... and if you are traveling as a group of 3 people or more, better yet, go with Uber! It will not cost you much more that the train, minus the aggravation, plus all the convenience in all regards.

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.]

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.
