How does public transportation work in Prague?
The basic principle is that tickets are purchased and validated with a time-stamp by punching it in a little machine on the tram or bus, or before entering the metro. Tickets are generally time-based and can be purchased from yellow machines
in the metro and at some tram stops, or in most newspaper and tobacco shops, or at our reception.
In buses, which mostly run in the less central parts of town, tickets can be bought from the driver, though they are slightly more expensive. If you have a Czech mobile phone, you can buy a 90-minute transfer ticket by sending “DPT” to 9020626.
The metro runs from 5am to midnight. Depending on the day and time, metros can be 3-9 minutes apart. Day trams also operate from 5am to midnight. From midnight to 5am, you can catch a night tram on most high-traffic tram routes, as well as night buses. Night trams (and only night trams) are numbered in the 50s (i.e., 51, 52, etc.) and the number is marked in a different colour on the schedules.
The most common ticket types are:
• 18 CZK (20 minutes, one mode of transportation)
• 26 CZK (75 minutes, multiple modes of transportation)
• 100 CZK (24 hour pass, unlimited use of public transportation)

How is Prague for taking a taxi?
In general, taxis have a bad reputation in Prague due to dishonest drivers using various tricks to overcharge their passengers. The city has been trying to fight this problem by installing taxi stands and performing spot checks. The situation has improved, but it’s best to be careful by using an established and reputable company like AAA RadioTaxi or CityTaxi. They are not expensive and the operators speak English, just dial 14014 for AAA.
How close is Miss Sophie’s to the main Prague attractions?
Close indeed! We are conveniently located just 5 minutes by foot from Vaclavske Namesti (Wenceslas Square) and the National Museum. Old Town Square is about a 15 minute walk away. From Old Town Square, the Charles Bridge is an additional 5 minute walk away.
