How to get around Prague from Anděl

Anděl station brings together metro line B, tram stops and a bus terminal in Smíchov. The station-area map provides a useful first check: exits E1–E5 are marked for the Na Knížecí bus terminal, E6 for Nádražní Street and E7 for the Anděl tram stop.

If you need lift access, the map labels a lift at exit E6 on Nádražní Street. That information does not establish accessibility at every platform, entrance or interchange, so check the route and station details for your specific journey.

From Anděl, line B is the clearest starting point for a metro journey: it connects the station with Smíchovské nádraží on one side and Karlovo náměstí on the other. For destinations not served by that line, check the map for a transfer that fits your route.

Tram stops are also marked around Anděl, including the stop at exit E7. Because route numbers and service details can change, use the current DPP map or traffic scheme to confirm which tram or bus serves your destination rather than relying on an old route number.

Choose a Prague ticket duration that covers your planned journey: the full-fare options include 30-minute and 90-minute tickets, plus 24-hour and 72-hour tickets. Current prices are 36 CZK in the PID Lítačka app or 39 CZK on paper for 30 minutes; 46 CZK or 50 CZK for 90 minutes; 140 CZK or 150 CZK for 24 hours; and 340 CZK or 350 CZK for 72 hours. The first price in each pair is for the app, the second for paper.

If you buy a paper ticket from a machine, information centre or ticket office, validate it once when you first use it: on boarding a vehicle or entering the metro paid area. Insert the ticket facing up in the direction of the arrow. Its validity begins at validation.

Tickets bought on board, at touchscreen terminals or railway ticket counters are valid from purchase and need no further validation. In the PID mobile app, a ticket becomes valid after a 60-second protective period from purchase, or after later manual activation. An SMS ticket must arrive before you travel.

Use line B from Anděl as your starting point for journeys towards the centre, then check the transport map for the stop or transfer that matches your destination. Anděl sits between Smíchovské nádraží and Karlovo náměstí, giving you two clear reference points when reading the line.

For a day that combines several central destinations, choose ticket duration based on how long you expect to use transport, rather than buying separate tickets without checking the options. A 24-hour ticket also covers the Prague Integrated Transport modes described above.
