Master the PID Lítačka App for Effortless Transit

Prague has one of the most efficient and punctual public transit networks in Europe, but buying paper tickets from street kiosks or yellow validation machines can be confusing and inconvenient. Instead, download the official PID Lítačka mobile app before your trip.

Through the app, you can purchase single tickets (ranging from 30 minutes to 90 minutes) or multi-day tourist passes with Apple Pay or credit card. Make sure to activate your digital ticket before boarding any tram, bus, or metro station concourse, as fare inspectors check frequently and fines are steep for unvalidated passes.

Bonus transit hack: Ride Tram 22 or Tram 42 instead of pricey hop-on hop-off tour buses. Tram 22 winds past the National Theatre, crosses the Vltava River, and climbs directly up to the Prague Castle district for the price of a standard transit ticket.
