... I fount some information about Prague Card - Citycard for Czech Capital on www.praguecard.info I will drive next month to prague, can somebody tell me, if I shall buy such Card or not? Thanks Best regards Hermann We bought the Prague Card and found that it wasn't as good a value as it could have been. There were many places that were closed or too far out of the center to be of interest, and there were a couple of places that were advertised in the book, but refused to honor the pass. On the plus side, there were a few places that we would not have thought to go to and we thoroughly enjoyed. It comes with a book, a museum pass/discount card, and a transit pass. Ask to see the book before you buy it and see if it covers what you are interested in. It would have been more effective for us to have bought a transit pass separately. (FWIW, we found the same to be true in Berlin, but found that the "welcome card" packages in Hamburg and Amsterdam well worth the money.) Have fun, and don't miss Prague Castle, and the Mucha Museum! |

.. We bought the Prague Card and found that it wasn't as good a value as it could have been. I agree. I came out ahead without the card. It would have been more effective for us to have bought a transit pass separately. I don't know why you would need a transit pass in Prague. It's a walking town. I'm 63 years old, and the only time I used public transit was to go up to the castle. I could have even walked there, but it was a hot day.... |

PRAGUE CARD - City card for Czech Capital
Its not a walking town at night when its -20c! You wont see the whole city
unless you use the tram AND metro. "Terryo" wrote in message om... "Javaman" wrote in message ... . We bought the Prague Card and found that it wasn't as good a value as it could have been. I agree.

Not if you're staying in private accomodation at the far end of some suburban bus line it isn't. tim I'm 63 years old, and the only time I used public transit was to go up to the castle.

That depends entirely upon the location of your hotel. If you stay at the Ibis outside the city center, as I did, then a transit pass will save a LOT of walking. Pete |

(FWIW, we found the same to be true in Berlin, but found that the "welcome card" packages in Hamburg and Amsterdam well worth the money.) Have fun, and don't miss Prague Castle, and the Mucha Museum! I think there exists two different Prague Cards. One is also called "Prague Card - Mathilda Card" this is the museum pass/discount card. Here you can only loose your money. It costs nearly 30 EUR, but this free entries are valid only for 3 days. How many museum you can visit in this short time? In my opinion it is cheaper, to pay entry and by the transport ticket somewhere else. This other "Prague Card" (origiginal Prague Card and Prague Passport www.praguecard.info) is more interesting. All discounts and free Attractions are valid one year. Also you have many different attractions like free entries, free tour on historical tramway, free shipping tour, presents like some posters or a informative citymap of Prague included all Undergrounds, tramways and busses. But in my opinion best of this Citycard is the included insurance an a hotline number, where praguecard tourists can call when they have some problems. With this card you can really save money. Come and enjoy the "Golden Town" Prague Tanja |
