Children particularly love travelling on Prague trams.
It is possible to see a great deal of Prague from trams
and certain routes such as 22 and 26 are known for
providing good sightseeing for tourists. The routes
do change from time to time though, so check that
you have the latest information.
Historical trams as much as 100 years old can be
hired for special occasions, such as weddings, but
are occasionally available for regular travel by the
general public. The Tram
Museum is also worth a visit.
The following pictures show the route from the Cottage to the bus stop:-
