Scenic Tram Route

Which of the Tram Routes is the most interesting from a sightseening point of view ?




|||



22 and 23 go to the most visited places, I guess (Castle, Mala Strana, National Theater) but parts of their routes are not all that scenic. 17 will take you down the river to Vyserhrad and then way on down to massive Communist-era concrete apartment area at the end. If you want to get more of a total Prague feel, ride two or three on a full run.



People watching on trams can be fun, in itself.




|||



you can also get on the 120 year old historice tram number 91 which runs through the city at weekends during the summer




|||



Go to www.dpp.cz and choose the English version. Then under the %26quot;travel information%26quot; tab you%26#39;ll find a link to %26quot;funicular chairlift and nostalgic tram%26quot;. Click on the link and at the bottom of this page is another link to the Tram 91 page. Runs from April to the end of November. As one end of the ride is at the Vystaviste, you should also visit the Stromovka Park. Nothing much to see at the Stresovice end so if I were you I would catch it from the castle (Prazsky Hrad).

Thanks everyone, we are going next weekend so that rules out Tram 91.




|||



bring some old boots that you want to muck up. We had half a metre of snow this weekend and when it melts at the end of the week, the streets will be very wet and dirty indeed

Sova,





Maybe you can help on this one: Hello there!





I went to OBB site. I am trying to go from Salzburg to Prague. Downloaded the PDF schedule ok, but cannot find details of couchettes/fares, etc...all in German?





Can I travel on my East Europe pass (aus+cr) and just pay a surcharge for the sleeper? Please advise, thanks.
