Transport
Mostly you will stay in city center. The best approach is to use 3rd best public transport in the Europe – Prague public transport – detailed information you can find here.
In the late night, you might need Taxi. You have to know, that there are two things most hated by tourists in Prague: Taxi and Exchanges. Why? Because of volume of the frauds. The prices for Taxi in Prague are regulated by city hall. The maximum price for 1km is 28CZK – official info – here.
