Advantages of Choosing a Prague Hop on Hop off Bus Tour
- Flexibility: Perhaps the most unique and attractive aspect of a hop on hop off tour is the flexibility it offers. You are free to ‘hop-off’ whenever you want and spend much as time as you please at a certain attraction as you are not bound by anyone. Hop-on when you are done and move on to the next attraction.
- Savings: Prague hop on hop off bus tours are the most cost-effective way of exploring the city! You will be saving not only on transport to and from the attractions, but if you choose the guided tours, you will also save on the attraction tickets.
- Informative: Hop on hop off tours usually offer multilingual audio guides as part of the ticket. You get a lot of information from this commentary, and you also get the opportunity to learn more about the city’s history and culture, thereby making your experience all the more fruitful.
- Discover new places: These tours take you to all the attractions and points of interest across the entire city’s length and breadth. This tour not only gives you the opportunity to visit all these famous places, but also to places you wouldn’t have otherwise known about. Since you are travelling with a local, you will be exposed to a lot of the city you would’ve missed out on had you been travelling by yourself.
Tips
- Wherever possible, try to combine your hop on hop off tickets with a tour. That way, you'll get to explore the best attractions of the city with a guide, and without having to get separate tickets.
- Wear comfortable shoes as you will be doing quite a bit of walking. The bus stops at designated spots, and it is possible that your attraction may be a bit of a walk from there. Moreover, some of the attractions you visit will also involve quite a bit of walking, so it's best to wear good shoes.
- Guests aged between 3 to 15 can book the child ticket.
