Prague’s Fleet of Christmas Trams Hits the Tracks on November 30

On November 30, 2024, the Prague Transport Company will unveil its “Christmas fleet” – trams and buses decorated in the festive spirit.

A tram-lighting ceremony will take place in the courtyard of the Střešovice tram depot at 16:30, with the director of Prague Public Transport Authority DPP overseeing the grand inauguration.

From 16:45 p.m., the specially decorated trams and buses will embark on a 30-minute parade through the heart of Prague.

Where to Catch the Magic

The vehicles will stop on the Mánes Bridge for a photo op as they head back into Old Town before officially concluding at Staroměstská at around 6:00 p.m.

DPP has announced that the Christmas trams and buses will remain in operation through January 6, giving Prague residents and visitors plenty of time to see the holiday-themed vehicles across the city throughout the season.
