'''Prague''' (''Praha'') is the capital of the [[Czech Republic]].<br/ >Writing a sign "PHA" clearly informs a driver that you are going to Prague, but a sign '''PRAHA''' works better.
A lot of Czech people don't speak English. (You can try German.) The Czech word for petrol station is "Benzinka". This might come in handy. (MF)== Hitching out ==
An abbreviation '''PHA''' written === East towards [[Hradec Králové]], [[Pardubice]], [[Wrocław]] {{Dcz|11}}{{E|67}} ======= Option 1: Motorway service station on your sign clearly informs a driver that you go to Prague.D11 ====
== Hitchhiking out ===== East towards [[Hradec Králové]], [[Pardubice]], [[Wrocław]] {{Motorway Number Czech Republic|11}}{{E|67}} ===From "Černý most", the last station : '''As of B-line metro (yellow) take bus to station "Na Kovárně" (221, 303, 304, 344, 353, 398), it June 2018 there is about 10 minutes ride and probably you are going to pay few crowns, but not much. Hundred metres behind the stop turn right and go along Tlustého street, after last house keep a big construction on the right (bigger) roadhighway, then left before the cemetery. Go across the bridge to so the petrol gas station. It is about 1not operating,5 km, but I think it is the best hitch spot on this direction. There usually arendon't too many cars, but I've never been go there more than half an hour. If you get lost ask anyone about "Hummer Garden" (the place only It seems as if it will stay like this for Hummers) which is just behind the stationa while...'''
==== Second option ====Maybe better is :NOTE it may seem tempting to use K+R place near "Černý the spot just outside Černy Most" metro station, lots as it has a lot of hitchhikers use traffic passing through and an excellent area to stop where people drop off and pick up from the station but this placespot did not work well for me. Use I made a sign HK (Hradec Králové) or for PL (if you want as I was heading to Náchod wroclaw, I had no luck for more than 4hrs wait, in the end me and Poland)another hitchhiker who also came to the spot ended up taking the bus. The spot may work but much earlier in the morning and in small steps. It's necessary I think it is advisable to use the make a Hradec Karlove sign, because cars then from there are going head to many directionsPoland.Disadvantage There is that there are only cars traveling out of Prague - not those going from much Polish traffic between Prague ring roadand Wroclaw. But there is no non-freeway solution how to pick up those cars. My personal experience (dj-bobrAntonopa) for east way (Hradec Králove, Poland) is that you can try to hitchhike at the beginning of D11 Highway (50.098664 N, 14.597708 E07/2016). It's a motorway, but police doesn't care, if you stand safe at the shoulder.
Take metro line B (yellow) to the end station ''Černý most''. From here, take bus 221, 303, 304, 344, 353, or 398 to the bus-stop ''Na Kovárně''. Walk east along Náchodská ≈600m to the junction with Bořetická. Turn right on Bořetická and walk 1.2km to just over the motorway bridge. Take the path to the right here into the service station. There usually isn't very much traffic, but waiting times are likely to be short. If you get lost ask anyone for "Hummer Garden" (the place only for Hummers) which is just behind the station. ==== Option 2: K+R (Parking Area) Černý Most ====Take metro line B (yellow) to the end station ''Černý most''. There is the K+R (Park & Ride) to the right (east) of the station which is popular with hitchhikers and possibly a better choice than option 1. It's necessary to use a sign because the road splits in many directions, e.g. "HK" (Hradec Králové) or "PL" (if going to Náchod and Poland).The disadvantage of this option is that there are only cars traveling out of Prague and not those coming from Prague ring road. However, there is no non-freeway solution to get a lift for those cars. === Northeast towards [[Mladá Boleslav]], [[Liberec]], [[Görlitz]] {{Dcz|10}}{{E|65}} ===
[[File:Stop_hk.jpg|thumb|right|350px|Dj-bobr at the beginning of D11 Highway.]]
You can hitch from a gas ==== Option 1: Motorway service station on the E65. ====Take the metro line B (yellow) to the last station, ''Černý Most''. From there catch bus number 220 to the stop called "''Do Čertous"''. When you get off the bus , the gas petrol station is behind the big orange building with "H1" on it.
==== Second option Option 2: K+R (Parking) Černý Most ====Another option Take metro line B (yellow) to the end station ''Černý most''. There is to use the K+R place near "Černý Most" metro station (Park & Ride) to the same for going to Hradec Královéright (east), lots of the station. Lots of hitchhikers use this place. Use a sign "MB " (Mladá Boleslav), or "LB " (Liberec). It's necessary to use the a sign, because cars are there going to the road splits in many directions. Because Due to the construction of building sections of the Prague Ring (R1) sub-parts, long-distance traffic is lower each day; however, but this spot is still usable. For Hradec Králové and Poland direction, use spot at the beginning of D11 highway.
=== North, Northwest towards [[Ústí nad Labem]], [[Teplice]], [[Dresden]], [[Berlin]] {{Motorway Number Czech RepublicDcz|8}}{{E|55}}===You can also get to an easily reachable petrol station on the motorway getting north walking.You must go to "Letňanská" (e.g. bus 195, 140, 158 from metro "Prosek"). Then going down from the bus, '''Warning''': If you can see the entrance of the motorway straight ahead. Put yourself so you have the motorway on your rightare passing through Dresden, then cross the street (going north then), and then the parking, and go behind the buildings, looking for take a small bridge (“most” in Czech), going above look at the motorway[[Dresden]] hitchwiki page. From there either of the spots you will see can take rides to OMV petrol station before Lovosice or to the Agip petrol stationafter Ústí nad Labem. There are not so many people stopping The hitchhiking positions there, but they all are (almost) going in the also good direction. Just ask if they are going north (“sever”) or if they can just let you on the next petrol station (“příští pumpa”/“prschieschtee pumpa”), where there will be normally more cars.
==== Second option Option 1: D8 ====You need to get to the first big petrol station OMV with McDonalds on D8Take metro line C (E55red)to ''Holešovice''. From metro station ”Letňany” take bus (195, 140, 158, 110here, 269) to the stop “Obchodní centrum Čakovice”. Then on the other side of the road take bus (202) and ride one stop 201 to “Na Lukách”. Bus goes once in an hour, so it's better to walk there for 10 minutes. The bus stop “Na Lukách” is very close to D8'Vychovatelna'' (E553 stops) motorway. If you took bus or walked, then go towards the bridge and from there you can see the petrol station You will find a great spot with lots of traffic still going slow right at left. From that petrol station you can either hitch-hike to Dresden directly or to the last petrol bus station OMV before Lovosice or to the Agip petrol station after [[Ústí nad Labem]]. The hitch-hiking position there is also good.
:('''Warning'Tried'': If you ) The author had not noted that there are passing through three lanes on this road, and the two inside lanes take the cars to Dresden. The bus lane of course is great and the cars are not going too fast, take but anyone going to Dresden on this road would need to cut across a look on [[Dresden]] hitchwiki pagefew car lanes to come pick you up. Quite possible but there are better options than this.
==== Third option Option 2: OMV petrol station on D8====Use the third option, if you don't want to go with so many buses. Just take the red Take metro line C (Cred) to the terminal station ''Letňany and then ''. Take any bus heading north one stop, or walk from there 500 m north, to the spot marked by Fatidik''Výstaviště Letňany''. It is 300m Keep walking from there. Walk northwest along the street Tupolevova (big bend roadfor 500 m, where crossing over Beranovych to the metro exits pedestrian crossing at the traffic lights. Cross Tupolevova here and bus stations are keep heading southwest on) in the direction pathway leading onto Opocenska. Walk ≈250 m along Opocenska and you will see a small footpath to the buses go right (starting northwards, then bending westwards) and at before the second crossing left into pedestrian/cycle bridge over the Beranových until the end, then right and highway) heading straight until you see a small walking path leading you to the service OMV petrol station. There are not so many cars and you may wait a little longer there(≈150 m walk).
==== Fourth option Option 3: Bigger OMV petrol station on D8 ====From Take metro line C (red) to ''Letňany''. Take bus 195, 140, 158, 110, or 269 to the petrol station point described above walk about 2km at stop ''Obchodní centrum Čakovice''. Turn back in the side of direction the highway bus came from and walk ≈1km along Kostelecká (in past the direction Dresden/Berlinroundabout) and until you will reach another OMV petrol station which has a McDonaldsthe sliproad coming off the D8. This is way more populated spot, I only waited less than an hour to be picked up to be driven to Berlinjust before the bridge over the D8.Thaddl was there on a sunday evening, when seemingly nearly only people from Prague came to have some McD-food Turn left into the sliproad and go back againafter walking ≈100m, and had you will come to wait several hours. And it is not so easy to walk there anymore, as after half the way petrol station (with a new exit ramp is blocking the way a littleMcDonalds behind it).
=== West towards [[Plzeň]], [[Klatovy]], [[Nürnberg]], [[München]] {{Motorway Number Czech RepublicDcz|5}}{{E|50}}===This option is on a fairly big gas station with enough cars. From metro "Zličín" (line B, yellow), take a bus nr 307, 308, 311, 380 or 602 Most drivers go directly to "Rudná, škola" stop. The ticket costs 18 CZKPlzeň. Once you get offHowever, walk couple of meters in the direction the bus came from and turn left onto a street called "Na Přídělu". You should see the gas station in the distance. Walk to the end of the street, there will be a path towards the gas station there, it's a 5-10 minute walk in total. If you don't want to hitch back to Prague, you need to go under the bridge in the gas station area (it's located in the Prague direction). Avoid going into Plzeň or getting dropped off on the bypass. It's better to try to find a direct ride lift to [[Germany]] from or even further is not unusual. All petrol stations on the last petrol station before Plzeň. (* We 2 guys waited here {{Dcz|5}} are fine for 45 minutes before getting a hitch hike upto the border of Germany post which going to [[Paris]] was easy. Verified on 6th September 2011)hitchhiking although often with little traffic.
==== Second option Option 1: Rozvadovská spojka ====#Take metro line B (yellow) to ''Hůrka''. Turn left (west) out of the station and then turn north towards the Albert supermarket. Walk around the left side of Albert supermarket heading up and then over a small bridge until you reach a school. Walk around the school on the left side, heading north, until you reach Běhounkova. Walk ≈ 30m north along Běhounkova until you see the gap in the wall on the left - cut through the parking place and take the path through the gap and you will reach the large bus stop on Nárožní. Cross it and continue to the intersection with Bucharova. Turn left on Bucharova - you will see signs to "Plzeň". Go over the bridge and turn left down the entry slip road to Rozvadovská spojka. After the bend, there is a tram great place for hitchhiking: lights, straight, hard shoulder with lots of space to stop. Although it's not allowed to stay there, the police don't make any problems here.#Take metro line B (9, 10yellow) to ''Nové Butovice''. Then take bus 184 (direction Hradčanská) or bus 174 (direction Vypich) and get off at the second stop: "MotolŠafránkova". (The stop is a request stop, so it means thatyou have to push the button in the bus to stop it). Cross over the road (Bucharova) and walk south 200m to the slip road, and continue to the hitching point on Rozvadovská spojka as described above.#Take metro line A (green) to end station ''s where Nemocnice Motol''. Turn right out of the station to the bus-stop. Then take bus 184 (direction Velká Ohrada) or bus 174 (direction Luka) and get off at the motorway link startssecond stop: "Šafránkova". Not (The stop is a perfect placerequest stop, so it means that you have to push the button in the bus to stop it). Walk south ≈150m to the slip road, but cars are not too fast and there are quite a lot of Germans passingcontinue to the hitching point on Rozvadovská spojka as descibed above.
==== Third option ====(Edit by Moskewskaja, 21st may, 2016)<br/ >From metro The bus stop "ZličínŠafránkova" is much much closer to the highway (line B, yellowthan in the directions for 1) . I use this option frequently to go home. And there I was also asked for the the crossroad on traffic lightsdocuments by police, and when I asked them if it is allowed to hitchhike there's a bridge before (under , they told me yes, so don´t worry! It is not really highway, you are still in the bridge city. If you are railways)travelling west, so walk on do not enter Beroun or Plzeň because it is hard to hitchhike out. So many hours I spent in Plzeň... On this highway you can meet all the traffic light and stand right cars going west. Just stay on the trianglehighway, stop at some petrol station. There is one Shell close to Rokycany, before Plzeň, maybe with little bit expensive petrol. Or you can catch cars from both waysgo just to Rudná petrol station, they are going slowly therewhich is close (15 km) to Prague, but it is quite big with many cars and there's also a place trucks. You travellers to stop. We have been waiting there for 10 minutes. the West ( This OPTION Does not work - Don't Waste Time. verified on 6th Sep 2011 Germany, France, England, Spain) Look at the picture for details: [http://img651, your goal should be to arrive to Svatá Kateřina petrol station.imageshack.usIt lies just before czech/img651/7165/topilsengerman border and many czech drivers-especially trucks- they stop there to tank or buy something.jpg nice spot]
==== Fourth option Option 2: Motorway service station Rudná ====I go quite often Prague<->Pilsen and this is the best spot for me. Take metro line B (yellow line) to "Hůrka"''Zličín''. Then take bus 307, 308, 311, 380, or 602 to stop ''Rudná, walk around Albert shopškola''. (The ticket costs 18 Kč, upstairs and over the small bridge≈€0.66; 1 zone out of Prague). Walk around 60m back in the school maintaining direction the same directionbus came from and turn left into Na Přídělu street. You will should see a wall that hides the road we need petrol station in the distance. Walk 350m to take, so go behind itthe end of the street. There is a bus stop and will be a big road. Go right to footpath towards the crossroads, there go leftpetrol station 150m away. You will se signs "Plzeň". Go over need the bridge and down opposite direction so get to the left just around other side of motorway by the tunnel under the motorway on the corner right.It's a fairly big service station with McD and there enough cars.'''Note: As of May 2018, the petrol station on the side of D5 leading westwards is a great place. Quite long under construction and lot of space to stopthe corresponding exit therefore closed. Police stopped only once but after 2 minutes talking they went out and let me thereTry catching a lift on the ramp near Horelice.'''
Without sign ==== Option 3: Motorway junction at Zličín ====Take metro line B (or with sign "PLZ" or "Plzeň"yellow) you can easily get to Plzeň (donthe terminal station ''Zličín''t take cars before Plzeň). For Germany is better Go under the road Řevnická and turn immediately left. Continue south along Řevnická for 150m to use sign the crossroads with traffic lights. You can stand right at the triangle down on Rozvadovská spojka ("D"police can kick you out) (and again, take only cars going to Germany or ask people at least to the border where is good nearby petrol station, KFC, or parking lots. None of these places are good (Options 1 and 2 are better).
=== Southeast towards [[Brno]], [[BratislavaOstrava]], [[BudapestBratislava]], [[Vienna]], [[Kraków]] {{Motorway Number Czech RepublicDcz|1}}{{E|50}}{{E|59}}{{E|65}} <br />+ south & South towards [[České Budějovice]], [[Linz]] {{National Road Number Czech Republic|3}}{{Motorway Number Czech RepublicDcz|3}}{{E|55}} ===It's important good to write have a sign!at this road and definitely for direction south. Every bigger petrol station on [[D1 (CZ)|D1]] is good for hitchhiking.==== First option Option 1: Motorway service station on E65 ====Use the petrol station, it is a good place, easier to reach than the other options and you'll get rides quickly. From Take metro "Opatov" (line C, (red) exit straight out of the station and take a left following the winding red ramp up to street level/the road above''Chodov''. Look on the bus stop timetables (bus stop next to the Replay shop) look for the stop "K Sukovu" on route 363 (you are going southbig shopping centre and enter, keeping to the buses should leave every 15 minutes (less frequent on the weekend)ground floor, and you can use locate the same ticket that you got on the metro). ''Because exit consisting of a reconstruction the bus now leaves from next (last) metro stop '''Háje'''! stairs and elevators (summer 2013)''Get not to "K Sukovu" (takes roughly 10 minutesmention a lift that leads below) – you'll know you're there when you see the petrol station in the distance ; this exit leads to your right after getting off the busstops. From "K Sukovu" walk in the direction the bus is going for about 500m round to the right of the road. Cross the motorway bridge and the petrol station is on your right. This is a perfect spot! (MF)[[File:ujezdupruhonicprague.jpg|thumb|right|350px|Hitchhikers at Újezd u Průhonic petrol station. Regular local hitchers were about, as well as hitchers doing the race.]]
==== Second option ====From metro Opatov <i>(line C, red) follow noise to the motorway. Walk along the road about 5 minutes, keep going over the crossroad and the bridge over the motorway (see second map). Now you might see other hitchhikers on the slip-road. Alternatively, you can take bus number 177 from metro Opatov to next station called <b>Note:</b> "U Dálnice". (It's request stopthis shopping center has excellent wifi, so press the stop-button after the bus starts moving.) Be careful and stay on the slip roadcharges with USB/charger ports for phones, not toilets on the motorway (sometimes police passes by). Average waiting time is less than one hour. From the bridge you can see the petrol station 'Újezd u Průhonic' – it's about 1.5&nbsp;km by motorwayground floor, but it isn't a good place.water fountain outside the toilet! Flippin heck I could live here!"</i>[[User:tmoonChillion|TomChillion]] shared this spot with about 20 other hitchhikers during a race in April 2007 (most started at the slip-road spot described above, but just got dumped at this petrol station). While his teammates fell asleep on the grass for 3 hours (!), he was able to chat with other hitchhikers and drivers, and get ride offers towards [[Brno]], [[Bratislava]], [[Budapest]], [[Vienna]] and [[Kraków]]. The average waiting time was 20–30 minutes, plus there were several truck drivers promising longer lifts after a few hours' rest.
:Head on outside and turn right, follow the path and cross to the SONY building. Now keeping on the same road walk for 20mins and you'll reach the SHELL petrol station.<br />Alternatively, you can stay past the station exit at the end of the left lane, on the left side of the road.Easily reachable petrol station, not a lot of traffic though and is sometimes enforced by a employee in Shell uniform. Has cover for in bad-weather or snow conditions. In all honesty this station seems iffy.There isn''August 2012''' Hitchhiking t much traffic on both gas stations. Both are not advisable.You can try standing at the ramp to the motorway just outside Chodov Mall. First go inside, to floor 0. Walk to India leg 3: Heading the easternmost part of the mall, there use the elevator to Brnofloor -2. Perfect spot just next In the parking house, walk east to the McDonaldexit. There'sthe ramp. I waited maybe ten minutes before someone could take me You might have to wait long for a service station within striking distance of my destinationride. About half We gave up after an hour there before I was picked up again and taken the whole way. Great spot, just a bit of a trek to reach it. Lookingforstu
==== Third option Option 2: Motorway Junction Opatov====Take metro line C (red) to "Opatov". Walk south ≈800m along Chilská past the crossroads and over the motorway bridge to the beginning of the entrance slip road. Instead of walking, you can take bus number 177 from metro "Opatov" to next (request) stop "U Dálnice" and then walk 100m east to the beginning of the slip road. Now you might see other hitchhikers on the slip-road.Be careful and stay on the slip road, not on the motorway (sometimes police passes by).<br />Very common spot but, in fact, not so good. Average waiting time is less than one hour. If you get stuck there, you can walk 2 km along the motorway to 'option 4' (see below). Again, if police come around, they'll tell you to walk on the field beside motorway.
* ==== Option 3: 5.května at the beginning of expressway ====<strike>Take Metro metro line C till '''Chodov'''* leaving (red) to Kačerov. Find stairs going down, go over train tracks and then stairs down again. Then walk around the metro entry tracks and turn right into road before the motorway. You will see the OMV petrol station but don'''Roztylska''' until you reach t walk that far; instead, just cross the roundabout* grass strip and the 2nd exit 2 lanes of the roundabout is yours, then again turn the first right into slip road '''Kloknetova'''* walk straight through leading to the path in station from the bush (main road 5.května to get to the left main road itself. Stand on 5.května at the beginning of the bridgemotorway on the hard shoulder (there is sign). The police don't make any problems there and for cars, cross it means the street, step over end of the small fence50 kmph limit so they're still quite slow. The shoulder is wide, safe and lit.Especially good option at night when there is little traffic at spots 1 and you 2. <br /> There are not many cars at the OMV petrol station or they have different directions (often [[Pilsen]]).</strike><br>The beginning of the motorway has been shifted a few hundred meters back into the city center, thus it is now illegal to use this spot (received a fine in June 2016 for it). You can still use the gas petrol station, but indeed the amount of cars going in the direction of Brno is very small here.
The gas-station sign showing the start of the expressway (and also 50km/h speed limit) is located 1.3km from the original location, on 5.května just before it passes over Vyskočilova, so legally it should be possible to hitch before it. At this spot there is a smaller one wide shoulder, lights, 50km/h speed limit. Take metro line C (red) to Budějovická. From exit on Budějovická street, turn left some metres and then turn right (northeast) on Vyskočilova. Walk northeast ≈350m until the exit slip road on the motorwayleft just before the 5.května overpass. If you won't find a long-distance ride you can ask drivers Cut across the grass embankment and walk up to bring 5.května itself and you to will see the next gas-stations as described in other optionsexpressway sign. At this bigger gas station lots of people stop This spot looks good, but '''it needs to refill and are going direction [[Brno]], [[Vienna]] and [[České Budějovice]]be tested.'''

Traffic was awful, so got dropped off on a slip road just outside Brno where I hitched a ride into the city. Then followed the Brno hitchhiking page, option 2 (6pm, 30min wait with sign) into Vienna."</i>
=== South towards [[Příbram]], [[Písek]], [[České Budějovice]] {{National Road Number Czech Republic|4}} = Option 5: Beginning of main road 5.kvetna ====Take metro line C (red) to ''Vyšehrad''. Head south using the sidewalk for about 300m. After the small bridge, continue left to the main road 5. kvetna. There are 3 lanes and one parking lane and usually some place to stop.<br/ >This spot quite near the city centre and cars are going slow, high traffic density, and nobody expects hitchhikers there but you can be lucky.
From Smíchovské nádraží ==== Option 6 ====Take metro line C (subway line Bred) take bus 129, 241, 243, 244, 314 or 318 to ''Roztyly'' and cross all the parking places to the stop Malá Chuchlemotorway. ItHard shoulder there is good and lit at night; however, it's a request stop so press the button. There you can easily hitchhike. Usually very short waiting on Friday afternoons when many people go out from Praguenot allowed to stay there and cars are already moving quite fast.
=== West South towards [[KladnoPříbram]], [[Karlovy VaryPísek]], [[České Budějovice]] {{EDcz|484}} ===From Dejvická Take metro line B (subway line Ayellow) to ''Smíchovské nádraží''. Then take bus 119 129, 241, 243, 244, 314, or 318 to Dědinathe stop ''Malá Chuchle''. (It's a request stop so press the button). There you can easily hitchhike. You can also try another bus stop Usually very short waiting on Evropská road e.g. Divoká Šárka but probably further is better. Good spot but most cars going towards Kladno or SlanýFriday afternoons when many people go out from Prague.
'''Second Option to === West towards [[Karlovy Vary''']], [[Cheb]] {{Dcz|6}}{{E|48}} ======= Option 1: Karlovarská street ====This is better option for Karlovy Vary direction. Take tram 22 to ''Bílá Hora''. Go straight in Walk 50 m west along Karlovarská street to past the street Karlovarská red/white railings and there is a quite good place to hitch-hike behind the red-white banister.
==== Option 2: Motorway junction D6 Jeneč ====Take a train from ''Prague Masarykovo''Third Option to Karlovy Vary''Jeneč''If you prefer gas stations, try this option. The first one is quite far though (30 15 km from out of Prague and very close to Prague centerAirport) - take a bus from Praha,,Hradčanská to Velká Dobrá,,u školy. Once there follow Walk down the direction of embankment onto Průmyslová ulice from the bus and turn first left (Unhošťská street), than second right (Lesní street) and after 200 station. Walk north along Průmyslová ulice ≈350 m you should see under the highway and railway tracks to the gas station on your rightmotorway junction from which it is pretty easy to get to [[Karlovy Vary]].
== Public transport == Option 3: Motorway service station D6 ====Take metro line A (green) to ''Hradčanská''. Then take bus [http://www.tram-bus.cz/stredni-cechy/autobusy/linka-310610 310610] or [http://www.tram-bus.cz/stredni-cechy/autobusy/linka-310082 310082 (B82)] from bus-stop ''Praha-Hradčanská'Always have a valid ticket when travelling by metro!'and get off at ''Velká Dobrá, unless you look like a Czech! Tourists are u skoly''. Follow the biggest source direction of income for DPP the bus and turn first left (Prague public trans.Unhošťská street), so than second right (Lesní street) and after 200 m you should see the controllers are first to check those, who do not look like Czech citizenshighway and the petrol station on your right. They don't wear uniforms. The fine <br/ >This option is 800 Kč (~32 €) good if you will pay prefer petrol stations although it on that place or till 15 days. Ticket for 30 minutes - 24 Kč (1 €), 90 minutes - 32 Kč is quite far (~1.30 €). If you plan to stay longer, you can buy a ticket for one day - 110 Kč (~4.50 €) or three days - 310 Kč (~12.60 €km from Prague centre).
The most dangerous stations are "Muzeum"=== Northwest towards [[Kladno]], "Florenc"[[Chomutov]], "Můstek" and "I[[Chemnitz]] {{Dcz|7}} ===Take metro line A (green) to ''Dejvická''.PThen take bus 119 from bus-stop ''Dejvická'' to ''Dědina''. Pavlova"You can hitchhike at the bus-stop. You can usually find where are the controllers at [http://twitteralso try another bus stop on Evropská road, e.g.com/#!/search/realtime/%23Revizori twitter]''Divoká Šárka'', sure not all of them (especially these in buses are hardly locatable)but probably further out is better.
I will suggest buy a one day ticket or something like that== Public transport ==Public transport network in Prague is really good, you can get in reasonable time almost anywhere at any time. Ticket costs: 30 minutes - 24 Kč (eur 1), look confident and don't validate it90 minutes - 32 Kč (~eur 1.30). If a controller comes, pretend you plan to not speak Czech or English properly and saystay longer, but I bought you can buy a ticketfor one day - 110 Kč (~eur 4. If you look confused at the best, they should 50) or will three days - 310 Kč (~eur 12.60). You have to validate your ticket and nothing else. Before boarding the Metro Compartment observe for Controllers already inside. Once inside at each when entering metro station carefully observe for who all are getting on the , tram or bus. If it looks like they may be controllers, before the door shuts just get out of the metro. <br>But rather then in buses, the controllers are near the stair. So The fine for fare dodging is 800 Kč (~eur 32) if you see them, I advise to board the metro once again and get out on the next station. Some stations have several exits and sometimes controllers are only pay it at one exit at the top of the stairs maybe. So try different exits. It's annoying and risky but doablethat place or till15 days.
Blackriding in the subway is not advised, as ticket inspectors are more common than in years past. They will ask you to show a passport, and if you refuse, they are very likely to take you to the police, who can demand immediate payment before they will let you go.
On At metro stations you can find maps of Prague with public transport, this can be useful, because the lines are changing (especially bus lines). You can easily find a connection online at [http://jizdnirady.idnes.cz/pid/spojeni/ ?lng=E IDOS] - works for the entire CR or alternatively for Prague only: [http://idosspojeni.dpp.cz/idos/ConnForm.aspx?tt=pid&cl=E5 Idos/DPP].
