Prague Celebrates 100 Years of Bus Transport With City Parade
Prague Morning

On Sunday, June 22, Prague will commemorate a century of public bus service with a parade of vintage and modern buses through the city’s historic center.
A total of 19 vehicles, ranging from the 1920s to the present day, will take part in the rolling celebration.
The event begins at 9:00 a.m. on Old Town Square, where all the buses will be on display for one hour. Visitors will have a rare opportunity to explore the vehicles up close and capture photographs before the convoy begins its journey.
At 10:00 a.m., the parade will depart from Staroměstské náměstí—where Prague’s bus history officially began 100 years ago—and travel to its final destination at Vítězné náměstí in Dejvice.
The route includes several designated photo spots, giving residents and visitors the chance to witness this unique mobile exhibition along key streets of the capital.
At Vítězné náměstí, the buses will remain on display until 3:30 p.m. as part of a wider event organized by the Museum of Public Transport in Prague, which will also present other exhibits and a full program of activities for families and enthusiasts.
Leading the convoy will be the Škoda 506 N, the oldest bus in the parade, dating back to 1929. It will be joined by iconic models such as the Škoda 706 RO (1951), Jelcz 272 (1973), Karosa ŠM 11 (1961), and the Ikarus 280 (1973), among others.
The parade pays tribute to the evolution of urban transport in Prague, offering a rare live exhibition of the city’s mechanical heritage.
The event is free to attend and is expected to draw large crowds of transport enthusiasts, families, and tourists.
