Transfers in Prague

Prague taxis and private transfers

Prague has a dense tram, metro and bus network, so most sightseeing needs no car. Taxis and private transfer firms come into their own for heavy luggage, late nights, day trips and long rides to other Czech cities or neighbouring countries.

Prague taxi prices and tickets

City Hall sets a maximum taxi tariff of about CZK 60 to board, CZK 36 per km and CZK 7 per minute of waiting. Electric taxis may charge up to CZK 70 to board and CZK 39 per km.
