Prague Tram 24hours pass over 2 days?

Posted by on

Hi all,
I will be travelling to Prague by train from Munich (to Praha hl.n).
I read many places that hop-on hop-off buses are not that great. I was thinking about getting a tram pass instead, since I will be travelling with a toddler and may not be able to do long walk.
The dpp.cz website states 24hrs pass. Since I will be there for even less than 24hrs technically (6:30pm on day 1 to 3:30pm on day 2), can I purchase the 24hrs pass and will it cover both the days of travel for me?

Also, I read the following on the dpp.cz website:
In the P, 0 and B zones in Prague any person accompanying a child under the age of 3 qualifies for a free fare of CZK 0 (this is not applicable on PIT trains, nor on the AE line nor on suburban bus lines in the outlying tariff zones), with the proviso, however, that the child must have either „Proof of being under 3 years of age“ (the price for this requisite document is CZK 20) or a valid ID card or passport.

Does the above mean that most tourist places will not be covered if I opt for free transport?

If you buy 24 hours ticket and stamp it at 6:30 pm it will be valid to 6:30 pm next day that means if you stamp it's valid for 24 hours from the time you stamped it. Most tourists places will be covered but you will have to have those mentioned proves of your child age. If it would require a lot of time to get that proof I would just drop it and buy 24 hour ticket which costs 110 czech crowns = less than $5.50 at this time.

We will be travelling with his passport anyways since we will be on tourist visa. Is the fare free for only one parent or both? Since it is not expensive, I may finally end up buying tickets, but it would be good to have that information handy

just get the 24hr ticket costs 110kc and can be bought everywhere, the train station has automated machines where you can use cash or credit card and there are relay shops in the station you can get the ticket 9staff usually speak English) and there is also a counter to get tickets but that tends to have limited opening times.
your ticket will cover you and a child and unless you are heading out to the sticks then you are covered form metro tram and buses within the main city. Stamp your ticket once and it last for 24 hrs from then ,do not stamp it again as this will invalidate it.

And of course there's that weird DPP rule that says that carrying a stroller on the system is only free if there's a child in it. Like you get on a tram and think "now where was that child, I'll have to find a CZK16 ticket now...". I guess it's for people that are expecting kids in which case it counts as luggage.

Jason we get folk on the buses in Edinburgh coming on with strollers full of their shopping, not a kid in sight.
