The Prague Card is an easy and frugal way to see and do Prague. It takes the trouble out of buying tickets, you skip the ticket lines and it saves you money.
The "card" is basically a ticket book that offers free access to many Prague attractions, museums, towers, galleries and more - as well as significant discounts to other sights.
The card is 37 EUR for adults and 24 EUR for children, students and seniors. It's actually a huge savings. For example, Prague Castle alone is normally 14 EUR.
This city card gives you access to all of the sights listed below. The main money-saver in this list is Prague Castle.
The card is available in 2, 3 and 4 day choices. But, honestly the included attractions could last you a week in Prague. The only significant area missing from the list are the sites in the Jewish Quarter.
Prague Castle St. Vitus Cathedral |
Old Town Powder Tower |
Malá Strana Bridge Towers |
Petřin Park Literature Museum |
New Town National Museum |
Vyšehrad Vyšehrad Gallery |
The city card includes other discounts that are worth considering too.
Here's a quick list of some other savings to be had:
Honestly, the card is not for everyone.
If you don't plan to visit many of the above sites, then it may not be worth the money you might save.
So the discounts are only truly valuable if you plan to take advantage of the card's many offers. This means, it's only worth buying if you plan to fully see and do Prague.
Plus, the card is good for 4 days. So if you're staying less, then don't bother.
