METRO – for European standards, the Prague Metro is a relatively young system (opened in 1974 with Russian help). Its network consists of 3 lines designated by letters and differentiated by color:
Line A (green): Depo Hostivař station – Dejvická station
Line B (yellow): Černý most station – Zličín station
Line C (red): Letňany station – Háje station
The Prague Metro runs daily from 5 am to 12 Midnight. During the workweek rush hours, trains run every 2-3 minutes, and every 4-10 minutes during off-peak hours.
There are three transfer stations in the city center where two subway lines intersect:
Můstek (lower end of Wenceslas Square) – lines A and B intersect
Muzeum (upper end of Wenceslas Square) – lines A and C intersect
Florenc (main bus station) – lines B and C intersect
These are transfer points from one line to another. Each transfer route is clearly marked and takes 3-5 minutes walking. A map of the Metro system (as well as connecting trams) can be found here:
