Buy and validate tickets. Fines are real.
Where to stay
Vinohrady or near old town without being “on the square”.

Use apps. Street taxis in tourist zones can hurt.
Tips
Bridge at dawn
It changes the photo and the mood of the day.
Only old town 72h
Prague is also Vinohrady and parks.
Exchange tricks
“0% commission” is sometimes the worst rate.
Square tourist menu
Two streets away improves plate and price.
