Trams
Tramvaj
The red and cream trams that rattle along the river and across the bridges.
Prague has one of the largest tram networks in Europe, with red and cream trams running day and night. The old Tatra T3, rounded and boxy, ran here for decades and still runs on a few lines.
Line 17 runs along the river past the Rudolfinum, one of the most beautiful rides in the city.
