Prague Historical Tram Crypto

Pragueโ€™s public transport system is blooming into spring with the return of the historic lines and popular ferries.

Starting on Saturday, March 23rd, passengers can once again experience the city aboard these unique services.

Tram line 41 makes a comeback, connecting Stล™eลกovice and Letnรก, with a stop at the Prague Planetarium. Passengers can then return via Malostranskรก.

For a journey through the heart of Prague, hop on the historic tram line 42. This circular route winds past the cityโ€™s main sights, offering visitors a scenic way to explore. Tram 42 operates year-round with its charming historic carriages, perfect for a unique sightseeing experience.

The nostalgic K bus line circles through Pragueโ€™s sixth district, following a path similar to the historic trolleybus line that ran here in the 1930s.

Itโ€™s important to note that regular public transport fares (PID) do not apply on these special lines. Passengers will need to purchase a separate ticket specifically designated for these seasonal services.

Ferries Return to Service

For those seeking a river crossing, four out of Pragueโ€™s six ferries will be back in operation daily from March 23rd until October.

The ferries P1 (Sedlec โ€“ Zรกmky) and P2 (V Podbaba โ€“ Podhoล™รญ) will continue their year-round service. The seasonal ferry P4 (Dostihovรก โ€“ Belรกrie), which received positive feedback during trial runs in 2022 and 2023, will be operating in full swing.

The P3 and P4 ferries offer an additional benefit for cyclists. With the Barrandovskรฝ Bridge undergoing repairs and the Dvoreckรฝ Bridge under construction, these ferries provide a vital alternative for cyclists navigating the area closures.

For those visiting the Prague Zoo, the P2 ferry offers a convenient connection to the Sklenรกล™ka entrance, situated near the new gorilla pavilion. This ferry runs every 15 minutes, matching the frequency of bus line 234 from Holeลกovice metro station.
