What riders say
Across these tickets travellers rate City Sightseeing Prague 1.8 out of 5 from 11 reviews.
Perfect for a short visit to Prague. We bought the 48 hour pass and it was perfect for us. We could visit different places, choose when to get on or off or just enjoy the tour of the city. Having a red line and blue line meant we could choose where to go each time. Excellent value and we paid a tiny bit extra for the river cruise too. Brilliant.
Best time to ride
Late spring and early autumn give pleasant weather and thinner crowds than midsummer; winter days are cold and short.
