'''Always have a valid ticket when travelling by metro!''', unless you look like a Czech! Tourists are the biggest source of income for DPP (Prague public trans.), so the controllers are first to check those, who do not look like Czech citizens. The fine is 700 Kč (30 euro), so better buy a ticket or travel by tram/bus. If you plan to stay longer, you can buy a ticket for one, three or five days that costs 100, 330 or 500 CZK.
I will suggest buy a one day ticket or something like that, look confident and don't validate it. If a controller comes, pretend to not speak Czech or English properly and say, but I bought a ticket. If you look confused at the best, they should or will validate your ticket and nothing else. Before boarding the Metro Compartment observe for Controllers already inside. Once inside at each station carefully observe for who all are getting in the car. If it looks like they maybe controllers, before the door shuts just get out of the metro. Cheers :) <br>But rather then in cars, the controllers are near the stair. So if you see them, I advise to board the metro once again and get out on the next station.
On metro stations you can find maps of Prague with public transport, this can be useful, because the lines are changing (especially bus lines).
