a great way to see the city-
This is a really cool way to see the city. It's nostalgic and fun, plus very inexpensive.
via Tripadvisor
Interesting ride
We enjoyed our ride on the old tram. We were, however disappointed with the fact that there was no commentary which meant you had no idea where you were and what was at each stop. There was an app however it was a paid app and we didn't want to sign up for it.

Relaxing
The older trams can give you a jolt as they set off and stop, but it’s all good fun! Staff on board are very helpful with their knowledge of Prague.

Ideal if you like old trams, NO COMMENTARY!
You need to get a map of the tram route in advance and decide what you want to see to make the best of the hop-on hop-off options. For anyone who loves vintage transport this is a great experience. However, it is NOT a guided tour with a commentary. Staff are very pleasant and helpful but the app that they advise you to download is entirely unsuited to providing a commentary; for large parts of the journey it says nothing, then it identifies three sights at once, trying to make it play appropriate information was extremely hard work and impossible to do and look at the sights. You also have to remember to cancel the app (not just delete it) to avoid an expensive, unrefundable subscription payment.
Response from the operator: Dear visitor, thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We appreciate your helpful tips about planning ahead and are glad to hear you enjoyed the vintage tram experience and found our staff pleasant and helpful. We’re sorry to hear that the app did not meet your expectations as a commentary tool and that it caused frustration during your journey. Your comments about its usability and the subscription process are important to us, and we will be sure to pass them on for further review and improvement. We regret any inconvenience this may have caused and thank you for bringing it to our attention. Your feedback helps us improve the experience for future visitors, and we hope you still have fond memories of exploring Prague. Kind regards, Prague City Tourism

Prague sightseeing by Tram
It was fun riding around in the old tram cars. They have several different cars ranging from the early 1900’s to the 2000’s. I loved the one with the wooden benches!

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Prague Hop on Hop off Sightseeing Tram: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Prague.
How much does Prague Hop on Hop off Sightseeing Tram cost?
+
Prices start at $22 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Prague usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Prague Hop on Hop off Sightseeing Tram take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Prague is not rushed.
Is Prague Hop on Hop off Sightseeing Tram worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 60 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Prague, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Prague Hop on Hop off Sightseeing Tram?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Prague Hop on Hop off Sightseeing Tram suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Prague Hop on Hop off Sightseeing Tram?
+
Around 21 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Prague can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Prague and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Prague Hop on Hop off Sightseeing Tram start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Prague within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Prague?
+
On Outty we rank every Prague experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best Reviews: Bohemian & Saxon Switzerland Day Trip From Prague, Bohemian & Saxon Switzerland From Prague-Travelers' Choice 2026, Prague Historic Pub Tour with Drinks Included. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Prague?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Prague?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
