Praha – Prague - Bier-Traveller

Prague is for Beer, not for Stag Nights, I wish. Having been on a couple of riotous flights from Scotland to Czechia in the past, hopefully people have moved on.

The Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral dominate the skyline above the Charles Bridge and Vltava River. Everyone will see this view. In addition there is the Main Square in Stare Mesto with the famous Astronomical Clock, decipher this at your leisure. Thereafter, it is time to search out Pivo. One can pick any passing Bar/Restaurant and drink Eurofizz at rock bottom prices. However, in recent years, the Craft Beer Revolution has arrived in Czechia stimulating new venues selling a wide range of styles, and correspondingly varied prices. The number of Pivovar – Microbreweries – is ever expanding.

Arriving in Prague

By Air:

By a ticket for the public transport system, a three day Travel Ticket lasts 72 hours from the time of validation. Tickets are available at an easy to locate desk in the Arrivals Hall. The – pid litacka – app allows tickets to be purchased on phones.

Take Bus 59 to Nadrazi Veleslavin where it terminates. From there the Metro takes you to the Centrum in minutes. The Travel Ticket is valid on Metro, Bus and Trams.

By Train

Arriving at Hlavni Nadrazi one needs to purchase a Travel Ticket for onward travel and will probably discover that there are no manned ticket offices here or at any Metro Station. Get change from notes at the Left Luggage, find a machine, or try a Newsagent. Tram 9 takes you to the Centrum then across the Vltava to Mala Strana.
