Everything you need to know about Go City’s Prague passes

Palaces, towers, river views and beer tastings—unlock Prague’s greatest hits for less with a flexible pass that fits your travel style.

Sightseeing in Prague

Planning a Prague escape? think castle courtyards, café-lined squares, spires at sunset and a river that just begs to be cruised. Add world-class museums, towers made for skyline snaps and surprisingly fun interactive spots, and you’ve got a city that packs a lot into each day. Go City Prague keeps it simple with the All-Inclusive Pass: easy entry to loads of attractions with one mobile pass and solid savings compared to buying individual tickets.

The basics: what is the Go City Prague pass?

All-Inclusive Pass

  • Choose a 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5-day pass.

Using your pass

What’s included?

Astronomical clock in Prague

With a stacked lineup of historic sites, stellar views, river life and interactive fun, it’s easy to build a trip that feels very Prague without paying over the odds. Highlights include…

Castles and royal history

 

Prague Castle isn’t just one building—it’s a sprawling complex of courtyards and landmarks. With entry to the key circuit, you’ll step inside St. Vitus Cathedral, the Old Royal Palace, St. George’s Basilica and wander the colorful Golden Lane. Give yourself a few hours; there’s a lot to soak up.

Lobkowicz Palace adds a personal touch to castle life. The museum’s excellent audio guide weaves family stories with art, music and history, and the terrace views over the city are worth lingering over.

Towers and skyline views

 

The Old Town Hall Tower delivers the kind of panorama that makes you fall for Prague all over again. After you’ve taken in the Astronomical Clock on the square, ride up for wide-open views of red roofs and spires.

Skyline views don’t come much bigger than from the dizzying heights of the Žižkov TV Tower Observatory, 93 meters above the city streets, with panoramas that take in Prague Castle, the Charles Bridge, the Old Town Square and more.

River cruises and city tours

 

A Vltava river cruise is a must. Glide under Charles Bridge, trace the curve of the Old Town embankments and ogle the castle from the water. It’s relaxed, photogenic and handy for resting your feet.

Prefer to stay on dry land? Join an Old Town and Charles Bridge walking tour to dive into legends, architecture and local tales—and get your bearings in the historic center.

Quirky museums and local flavor

 

Illusion Art Museum Prague mixes clever installations with classic techniques—perfect for a fun hour between bigger hitters. Meanwhile, the Czech Beer Museum leans into national pride with an engaging look at brewing heritage, tastings and, at some sessions, the chance to bottle your own souvenir.

Plan ahead

 

A little prep goes a long way in Prague. Start by plotting sights by neighborhood: cluster Old Town Hall, nearby museums and the river cruise into one day, then save Prague Castle and Lobkowicz Palace for another. Many indoor attractions open mid-morning, while towers and cruises sometimes have extended evening hours—use those later slots to spread the crowds and catch golden light. Check opening hours too; some museums close on Mondays.

Build a realistic daily rhythm. Start early with your All-Inclusive Pass and aim for two or three anchors (say, the castle, a tower and a tour), then sprinkle in shorter stops nearby. The app is your best friend: pick favorite attractions, check live opening hours, scan any booking notes and map routes. Prague is walkable, but cobbles and hills can take their toll—wear comfy shoes and factor in travel time across the river if you’re switching districts.

Reservations

Go City Prague app

Some experiences—especially guided walking tours and popular cruise time slots—work best with a reservation. You’ll find everything you need in the app: which attractions require booking, live availability, and links to secure your spot. Many museums and towers accept walk-ups; just scan and go. If plans change, cancel or rebook through the same links—most partners keep things flexible as long as you adjust before your time slot.

What’s the main advantage of Go City Prague passes?

 

  • Real savings compared to buying individual tickets at each attraction.
  • One app for entry, info, maps and bookings—no paper, no hassle.
  • The flexibility and freedom to mix big hitters with hidden gems you might miss if paying separately.
  • Easy activation and mobile scanning at the door
  • Solid support and clear how‑to details right in the app

Is buying a pass worth it?

Charles Bridge in Prague

Yes—especially if Prague Castle, a river cruise and a couple of museums or tours are on your list. With Go City Prague, you bundle the city’s greatest hits into one simple pass, cut the ticket lines from your to-do list and keep plans flexible day by day. Stack two or more experiences per day on the All-Inclusive Pass for maximum value—you’ll see more of Prague for less—and spend your time on views, stories and dumplings, not admin.

Let’s say you get a 3-day All-Inclusive Pass and visit: 

Day 1

Prague Castle highlights tour (€28.40)

Pilsner Urquell experience and tasting (€22.60)

Day 2 

Hop-on Hop-off bus tour (€30.87)

Žižkov TV Tower Observatory (€14.41)

Day 3

Old Town tour (€25.35)

Jewish Museum vs Prague Castle: Which is Better?

Prague Castle and the Jewish Museum are two of the biggest, best and most popular attractions in the Golden City, with each deserving of *at least* half a day of your sightseeing time. The very first thing you need to know about these bucket list must-sees are that the terms ‘Prague Castle’ and ‘Jewish Museum’ are actually catch-alls for expansive historic complexes – located at the top of the hill overlooking Malá Strana, and in the former Jewish ghetto across the Vltava respectively. We’re talking Gothic cathedrals and royal palaces up at the castle and spectacular synagogues galore in the Jewish Quarter. But which is better: the Jewish Museum or Prague Castle? We took a deep dive into these two essential Prague attractions to find out. Jewish Museum: The Lowdown The Jewish Museum is composed of six historical locations around the tiny Josefov district, the former Jewish ghetto that has been located at the heart of Prague’s Old Town for nearly a thousand years. Once a flourishing part of the city, said to have been home to around 18,000 inhabitants, the district was largely demolished in the early 20th Century as part of an initiative to remodel the city on Paris. It’s fortunate then that a number of its most impressive buildings and monuments were preserved, including the 15th-century cemetery, old town hall, and several impressive synagogues. The museum was established in 1906 and has itself had a very turbulent history, only regaining its independence in 1994, following many years of Nazi and Communist interference. Its magnificent buildings now play host to permanent exhibitions about Jewish life, culture and tradition through the ages, and boast a collection of some 40,000 Jewish artifacts, including prints, paintings, textiles and jewelry. There’s also an extensive library of books from Bohemia and Moravia, some of which date as far back as the 15th Century. No wonder then that the museum is one of Prague’s most-visited attractions, welcoming around one million visitors every year. Jewish Museum: Key Highlights The Old Jewish Cemetery. One of the largest (and oldest) preserved Jewish burial sites in Europe, this 15th-century cemetery is deeply moving and atmospheric. Wander its leafy lanes, where thousands of crumbling memorial stones lean against one another, including those of important Jewish figures including Mordecai Maisel, Rabbi Loew, and Avigdor Karo, a chief rabbi and court poet to King Wenceslas IV of Bohemia. The Spanish Synagogue. The domed exterior of this 19th-century gem hints at the Moorish Revival style within, but little can prepare visitors for the eye-popping grandeur, all intricate stucco arabesques, floral motifs, and colorful geometric tiling.  The Pinkas Synagogue. This grand Gothic confection is the second-oldest preserved synagogue in the city, dating way back to 1535. Inside, memorial walls are inscribed with the names and personal information of nearly 80,000 Bohemian and Moravian Jews murdered during the Nazi occupation, and there’s a very moving exhibition of drawings by children held in the notorious Terezín Ghetto.  The Klausen Synagogue. Prague’s largest synagogue is a monumental building in the early Baroque style, big enough to comfortably house an extraordinary three-tiered Torah Ark. Prague Castle: The Lowdown The fairytale spires and turrets of Prague Castle are one of the most distinctive features of the city skyline. This vast complex, perched high on a hill overlooking Malá Strana, the Vltava river, and the Old Town beyond, is home to several important buildings, gardens and lanes across its 17-or-so acres. These include the mighty St Vitus Cathedral, a stunning royal palace, and the rows of colorful shops and houses huddled along Golden Lane. The castle complex began life as a hilltop fortress way back in the 9th Century and has served as the Czech seat of power for many centuries. Its mixture of early Romanesque ruins and picture-perfect Gothic edifices have made it one of Prague’s most enduring attractions, pulling in something in the order of two million punters every year. Its huge size means you can easily make a whole day of it. Indeed, so large is the complex that it has even earned itself the accolade of biggest preserved ancient castle in the Guinness Book of Records! Prague Castle: Key Highlights St Vitus Cathedral. The crowning glory of Prague Castle, this huge 14th-century Gothic confection is one of Prague’s greatest treasures, with its photogenic flying buttresses, Art Nouveau stained glass windows, mosaiced Golden Gate and, of course, those trademark twin spires. Pop inside to ogle the massive pipe organ, hushed gothic chapels, and the sacred tomb of St Wenceslas himself. St George’s Basilica. It must be hell playing second fiddle to St Vitus Cathedral, especially when you’re the older brother by far, but 12th-century St George’s puts up a pretty good fight. That’s largely thanks to its picturesque Romanesque towers (nicknamed Adam and Eve) and decorative features that include a bas-relief of St George giving the dragon what-for and, um, a nightmarish statue of a rotting corpse with a coiled snake hanging out in its decaying gut. Golden Lane. The colorful rows of painted houses along Golden Lane will have Insta addicts jumping for joy. These pretty historic houses, once home to the goldsmiths who gave it its name, are now largely occupied by souvenir shops. So don’t forget to snag your St Vitus Cathedral keyring or rotting-corpse-statue postcard while you’re there. Garden on the Ramparts. Here’s where to get some of the best views in towne, whether looking out over the rust-red Malá Strana rooftops to the Vltava beyond, or gazing back up at the grand Old Royal Palace behind. Jewish Museum vs Prague Castle: Which is Better? It’s near-impossible to choose between these old-school Prague attractions. Both have huge appeal for history buffs and incurable Instagrammers alike, and both provide a real insight into the storied past of this great city. So here’s the good news: both the Jewish Museum and Prague Castle are included with a Prague pass from Go City. And that’s just for starters. The pass also includes access to Old Town tours and breweries, plus Museum Kampa, the Žižkov TV Tower Observatory and much more. In short, It’s a great way to save up to 50% on entry fees if you plan to visit a number of attractions during your Prague vacation. Find out more and get your pass here.

Prague Airport to City Travel

Apparently, the ability to teleport straight from our front doors to any hotel room on the planet is still a long way off (get a wriggle on, Elon!). So, until that day, we fleshpods must content ourselves with the time-honored method of delayed gratification: i.e. using trains, boats, planes and whatever other mode of terrestrial transport is necessary to get us to our final destination. Prague is no exception to the rule. Magical it may be, with those swoonsome spires, gothic churches, baroque palaces and extraordinary pieces of public art, but it stops short at actually being able to wizard you to its heart without the rigmarole of getting on public transport. Which is where we come in. Read on for our guide to the various options for getting into Prague from the airport…. Prague Airport in Brief There’s only one international airport in Prague, which is handy for those prone to getting on the wrong flight (“I wanted Manchester, England, not Manchester, New Hampshire!”), or pitching up at the wrong city airport on the return leg. Established in 1937 as Prague Ruzyně International Airport, it held this name until 2012 when it was renamed Václav Havel Airport Prague in honor of the last president of Czechoslovakia and first president of the Czech Republic. This was prompted by a wave of popular opinion following Havel’s death in December 2011. The airport was officially renamed on what would have been his 76th birthday, 5 October 2012. Its long and checkered history includes a pivotal role in the 1969 Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, when it was stormed by paratroopers, and a role as stand-in for Miami International Airport in the 2006 James Bond movie Casino Royale.  And now for the less interesting bit: Václav Havel Airport Prague services somewhere in the region of 17 million passengers every year and lies 13 kilometers west of the city center, in the Prague-Ruzyně area. Clear passport control, grab your bags from the carousel, and you could be in the Old Town in under 30 minutes. How? Well, it’s pretty simple really as there are only three ways to travel: bus, cab and private car. Here’s the lowdown… Prague Airport to City by Bus and Metro There are several buses that connect to the city’s metro system, providing what is arguably the best way to get to Prague from the airport, taking around 30 minutes all in. Take bus numbers 59, 119 or 191 to reach stations on metro line A (green) and 100 for metro line B (yellow). Both will take you to Wenceslas Square in the city center quickly and efficiently, but you’ll want to consult the Prague metro map to find out which will get you to the station nearest your accommodation. Metro trains run every few minutes between 5AM and midnight. For night owls arriving at the airport in the wee small hours, the 910 night bus service is your friend and goes all the way to the city center in around 45 minutes. Tickets can be purchased in denominations of 30 minutes, 90 minutes, 24 hours and 72 hours, and cover travel on city buses, trams and metro trains. Tickets for 24 hours or longer also include travel on the Petřín Hill funicular, and at 120 CZK (around 5 USD) for a full day of unlimited travel, they’re pretty good value too. Buy yours online here, at the Prague Public Transit company counters in arrivals, or from vending machines throughout the terminals and at bus stops.   Prague Airport to City by Cab or Private Transfer Tickets schmickets. If you shudder at the very thought of sharing mass transit systems with the great unwashed, you can also get to town from the airport in the comfort of a private car. The poor reputation of Prague cabbies is a hangover from a bygone era and, for the most part, you’ll find them friendly, courteous and honest. That said, some may still attempt to overcharge tourists fresh off the plane, so do keep your wits about you. It’s also worth noting that cabs are really no faster than public transport here, and often much slower during rush-hour traffic. You’ll find official airport cabs lined up and waiting at ranks outside each terminal. One-way prices start at around 25 USD but can rise dramatically if you find yourself sitting in traffic for long periods. You can also pre-book meet-and-greet airport pick-ups with English-speaking drivers. Fixed prices to the city center from Prague Airport start at 750 CZK (32 USD) for up to four passengers. There’s also a minibus option (990 CZK/43 USD) for larger groups of up to eight people. These are probably your best private transfer options for absolute peace of mind. You’ll even be given complimentary bottled water on the ride to your hotel! Prague Airport to City by Rental Car You’ll find all the usual car rental suspects and more at Prague Airport: Budget, Avis, Enterprise, Sixt, and so on. But car rental is better suited to people planning to explore the picturesque Southern Bohemian region than those here for a Prague city break. Indeed, Prague’s center is so compact, walkable and well-served by public transport that you really have no need for your own set of wheels at all. Because of this, not all hotels offer parking, so you may also find you have to spring for a space in a nearby paid parking lot, especially if you’re staying in the Old Town (lucky you!) which is almost entirely pedestrianized.
