My first trip to Prague was short, so a special opinion about the city - except that it is fabulously beautiful, and the food in it is fabulously tasty and cheap - I make up did not make it. But on the second trip I approached the trip more thoroughly, and on the first day of my arrival, leaving my things in the hotel, my friend and I immediately ran to buy tickets for the bus "Hop-on-hop-of."

"Hop-on - hop-of-the-road "- a well-known practice in European cities . Buses take you on excursion routes, accompanying the trip with comments on sights at the chosen language in the player language . You can leave at any stop, and on any - return to the next bus . There are three routes in Prague, they intersect, "on board" issue a map and the schedule, it is a pleasure for two days about 20 EUR and, as a rule, includes also a trip on the river boat along the Vltava and, for example, a night excursion . If you are in Prague for a short time and live in the radius of bus routes - it is possible , you will be enough for this ticket .

On the third day of our stay in Prague we had to use the tram. And we immediately became convinced of the truthfulness of the statement, which often sounds on the tour, that the public transport system in the Czech capital is one of the best in Europe. In just 15 minutes we overcame a considerable distance, famously leaping between branches. We never made a mistake in the numbers of trams - it's hard to be wrong when there are maps with routes at each stop, and the names of stops are duplicated on electronic screens of comfortable cars. There are also a lot of bus routes, including night routes, so even if you stayed late in the center, the hotel will be easy. Moreover, Prague people are very sympathetic people. Once we got a little lost walking in the sleeping area - but the passing Czech pulled out a smartphone, loaded the map and explained everything in detail to us

Travel (in Czech sounds like "ezdenka") are suitable for all types of transport and are sold in the subway, in special vending machines, in print shops and cigarettes, sometimes at bus drivers (but there they are more expensive) . As soon as you first entered the transport with the travel card - compost it , fixing the beginning of the time of its operation . The travel tickets can be purchased for 30 or 90 minutes or 24 or 72 hours . The latter will cost about 12 EUR . By the way, there are no turnstiles, but you can stumble upon the controller and a fine for an overdue ticket or its absence will be higher than the cost of a three-day pass .

Prague Metro and bus we used only once - to get to the airport in the morning . Everything worked like a clock . But to ride around Prague on trams turned out to be the most pleasant . So, one day we just sat down in the first pop shiysya tram and came to us to stop vending . Climbing the hill Petrin, drowning in flowering cherry trees, we were at the funicular fare which - surprise, surprise! - also included in the cost of the general pass . A couple of minutes - and we are at the foot of the Prague copy of the Paris Eiffel Tower, from which our picturesque walk to the Prague Castle began . By the way, the second such funicular is in the Prague zoo . "Also suitable for travel on ferries .

Of course, walking in Prague is best on foot than we did, buying up in the evenings in the pharmacies cream" from fatigue of the feet. " But if you decide to save money on the hotel - boldly settle in remote areas, making sure that there is a public transport stop nearby. And if you need to quickly get to the other end of the city - take a Prague tram and enjoy the views that surround you. It's worth it.
