  • Prague Castle Information Booths (second and third courtyard)

Is it worth buying them at the ticket office?

My advice is to buy your tickets online and in advance of your travel date instead of waiting until you arrive in Prague to buy them.

There are several advantages: you will not have to look for the place where to get the tickets, nor pay in local currency and above all, you will not have to stand in long and boring queues waiting for your turn at the ticket window.

Instead if you decide to buy them online, you will receive the purchase confirmation on your smartphone and the day of the visit you will simply have to show it at the access points to the Prague Castle to enter. You can also print it out if you prefer, although you don't have to - you'll save a lot of time!

In the entire public transport network in Prague (metro, bus and streetcar) you can use the same ticket to get around. The single ticket can be purchased from 1,30 € and is the most commonly used on certain routes. It lasts 90 minutes from the moment it is validated.

There is also a limited ticket from 1 € that allows you to ride buses and streetcars in Prague for 20 minutes but you can not transfer. In the case of the metro, the validity of this limited ticket is 30 minutes and it is valid for 5 stops. If you are going to make short trips to move is a good way to save a little money.

However, if when visiting the Prague Castle would like to not have to pay extra for travel, you can always book a guided tour of the monument with pick up and return to the hotel including purchasing the Prague CoolPass to use public transport in the city as many times as you want, as it is one of the integrated benefits. It will not cost you anything!
