Travelling within Prague is an easy and hassle free experience for there is a plethora of transport modes available to ferry passengers to and fro from different corners of the city.

Underground Tube rail

It has a highly developed metro system that remains operational between 5 a.m. and 12 a.m. The frequency of trains is once every 3 minutes during morning and evening rush hour and once every ten minutes during the less busy hours. It covers each and every part of the city and the number of metro lines is three:
Red or C
Yellow or B
Green or A
You can commute at a really fast pace thanks to the metro and it wont let you down.

Funicular railway

This is operational between November and March from fifteen minutes past nine to twenty minutes past ten and between April and October from nine in the morning to 11.30 in the night. Its pathway lies above Petrin Hill and so you can get a wonderful aerial view of the whole city below; it also gives a stopover at Restaurant Nebozizek which is a must visit.

Trams

From half past four in the morning to twelve o’ clock in the midnight, the trams zip through the city at a frequency of once every 3 minutes at peak hours and once every 15 minutes during weekends. When traffic load is less heavy during the rest of the week days, the frequency varies between eight to ten minutes. Almost all the important portions of the city fall on the tram routes like number 23, number 22, number 9 etc.  A separate midnight tram service has been started that operates at a frequency of once every half an hour.
