It is particularly convenient to buy 24hr
tickets 3 day tickets or month tickets
that cover all
Buses, trams, metro and trains within Prague, and are
even valid
for the sight-seeing
funicular railway!
Tickets can be purchased at metro stations and at
newsagent kiosks around Prague.
Single use tickets
can
be purchased from machines. Single use and multiple
use tickets can be purchased
from metro
information offices and newsagent
kiosks and also
from metro ticket
clerks (look for a small glass window within
the metro station labelled "MHD"). It is possible to purchase a
ticket by
mobile phone.
It is also possible to order tickets from
Z-Market
see "Shopping".
(Note, better value tickets are available, but for these
tickets you need a
metro photo id card, which is not intended for short stay tourists.)
Ticket dispensing machines in the metro stations are
translated into English, but can
be confusing at first, which is one of the reasons that we
recommend "multi-day" tickets.

Having purchased your ticket, you need to validate the ticket
by stamping it with the
date and time. This is done by inserting the ticket into any one of the
small
yellow machines which can be found inside Buses and at the entrance to the
metro stations, just before the escalators. When you insert your ticket in
the
machine, the machine will stamp the date and time on the top surface of
the ticket at the furthest point away from you. So ideally the ticket
should be
inserted in the machine the right way up and the right way around. If you
are
unsure there is usually a friendly traveller nearby who will be pleased to help.

(pronounced Churney Vool

going to
Bořislavka
(pronounced Bodg-is-larv-ka) and you do not
have
a ticket, get on
the bus and offer the driver some small change - the driver will take
the
correct
fare from you. We have never had any problems with this approach.

need to buy a ticket

ticket.)
