getting around prague for a trip in two months?
honestly just get the 72-hour or weekly pass from any metro station ticket machine. trams and metro cover pretty much everything you'll want to see in the center and it's like 330 CZK for 72 hours. the 30-minute or 90-minute tickets add up fast if you're hopping on and off.
one thing nobody tells you: the night trams run all night on weekends so you don't need ubers unless you're way out in the suburbs. also the metro stops pretty early around midnight so plan around that if you're out late. just tap your pass on the yellow validator when you board and you're good.
You'll want the weekly pass for sure if you're here seven days, but keep in mind the metro shuts down around midnight while trams keep going all night. Just validate it once when you start a journey and you're set for the whole week.
yeah the weekly pass is the move for a week, just get it at the machines in mustek or florenc stations. the tram is honestly more useful than the metro for most touristy stuff since it drops you closer to things like the castle or vinohrady bars. one thing i'd add is download the pid litacka app on your phone, you can buy passes there too and it shows real-time tram positions which is handy when you're standing at a stop in the rain. also the funicular up to petrin hill counts as a regular tram ticket so if you have a pass it's free

Start your morning at Old Town Square, where the Astronomical Clock chimes on the hour. Walk across Charles Bridge early to avoid crowds, then climb to Prague Castle (open daily 6:00-22:00, grounds free; cathedral ticket 250 CZK).
🍺 Day 1 Evening: Beer & Dinner
Head to Lokál U Bílé kuželky (Míšeňská 12) for classic Czech pub food and fresh Pilsner Urquell. A hearty meal costs around 300-400 CZK. Reserve a table by 18:00 to skip the queue.
🏛️ Day 2: Lesser Town & Jewish Quarter
Explore the baroque churches and gardens of Malá Strana (Lesser Town), then walk to the Jewish Quarter. Visit the Old Jewish Cemetery and synagogues (combined ticket 350 CZK, open 9:00-18:00 except Saturdays).
🍽️ Day 2 Lunch: Local Eats
Grab a quick trdelník (chimney cake) from a street stall, but for a real meal try Havelská Koruna (Havelská 21), a self-service restaurant with traditional dishes like svíčková for 150 CZK. It's cash only.
🚋 Day 3: Vinohrady & Letná
Take tram 11 or 13 to Jiřího z Poděbrad square in Vinohrady, a leafy residential area with cafes. Then walk to Letná Park for panoramic views of the city. The beer garden at Letná is open until 23:00 in summer.
💡 Getting Around & Tips
Buy a 72-hour public transport pass for 330 CZK from any metro station ticket machine. Trams and metro run frequently from 5:00 to midnight. Validate your ticket on first use. Avoid taxis near tourist spots; use Bolt or Uber instead.
💰 Money & Budget
Czech koruna (CZK) is the currency; many places accept cards but keep cash for small stalls. A budget of 1500-2000 CZK per day covers meals, transport, and one attraction. Tip 10% at restaurants if service wasn't included.
🌆 Best Evening Spots
For a sunset view, climb the Old Town Hall Tower (250 CZK, open until 22:00). Afterwards, enjoy a river cruise with dinner from Prague Boats (starting 890 CZK). Alternatively, catch a jazz show at Reduta Jazz Club (Národní 20).
Nice work on this, really captures the city well. One thing I would add is that the castle grounds are free but the actual cathedral entry is well worth the 250 CZK, especially if you go late afternoon when the light hits the stained glass. I did the full circuit including the old royal palace and Golden Lane for 350 CZK and it took about three hours.
For Day 3, if you are already in Vinohrady, swing by the Riegrovy Sady beer garden instead of Letná. It is a bit quieter and you get a different angle on the castle skyline. The tram ride up there from Jiřího z Poděbrad is just two stops on the 11.
One budget tip the guide missed: most supermarkets like Billa or Albert have a hot food counter with things like fried cheese or chicken for about 70 CZK. Great for a cheap lunch if you are near a metro station.
This is a solid itinerary. The Lokál recommendation is spot on for beer, but if you want something a bit different for dinner one night, try the pork knee at U Kroka in the Lesser Town. It is a small, no-frills place that locals actually fill up, and a half kilo of that with bread and mustard will run you about 250 CZK.
One thing about the transport pass: if you are arriving at the airport, the 72-hour pass is not valid on the Airport Express bus. You need a separate 100 CZK ticket or just take tram 119 to Nádraží Veleslavín and transfer to the metro, which is covered by the pass.
Also, skip the trdelník. It is a tourist trap and not really a traditional Czech pastry. For a real sweet snack, grab a koláč from a bakery like Kolacherie in Vinohrady. They have poppy seed or tvaroh fillings and cost about 30 CZK each.
solid guide, one thing i'd add is the prague card isnt really worth it unless you plan to hit like 5 museums in 2 days. the castle ticket + jewish quarter covers most of the paid stuff and youll save money just paying as you go
for day 2, if you want a killer view without climbing a tower, walk up the steps to the metronome in letna. its free and you can see the whole city spread out, plus theres a small bar at the top selling cold beer for like 40 czk
