Tourist Cards in Czechia

Travelling around Czechia can be not only full of unforgettable experiences but also financially advantageous. If you're planning to visit some of the country's most attractive destinations, it's definitely worth making use of special tourist cards, which offer free admission, discounts on transport, and other benefits.

Prague Visitor Pass: Cards for Easy Exploration of the Capital

The capital city of Prague offers several tourist cards. The main one – the Prague Visitor Pass – provides free entry to more than 60 attractions, including Prague Castle, Prague Zoo, and major museums. In addition, it includes unlimited travel on public transport, city bike rental, guided tours, sightseeing cruises on the Vltava River, and rides on the historic tram no. 42 (24-hour hop-on hop-off system). The card is available both in printed form and as a mobile app. The physical card can be purchased at tourist centres located in the Old Town Hall, at Můstek, on Petřín Hill, and at Terminals 1 and 2 of Ruzyně Airport.

When visiting Prague, you can also try the All-Inclusive Prague Pass.

An alternative is the Prague Cool Pass, also known as the Prague Cool Pass & Go City. This card offers similar benefits and is designed for easy and straightforward use. It is an ideal choice for tourists who want to visit as many attractions as possible during their stay without the need for extensive planning.

Český Krumlov: A Card for the UNESCO Gem

For visitors to Český Krumlov, the UNESCO-listed gem of South Bohemia, the Český Krumlov Card is available. It includes entry to the city’s main cultural and historical landmarks, such as the Castle Museum, the Museum Photo Studio Seidel, and the Egon Schiele Art Centre.

The Budějovice Card (BuďKarta) is another way to enjoy the city with the largest Baroque fountain in Czechia, the mysterious erratic stone in the main square, vast parks, and boat trips on the river. České Budějovice is the regional centre of South Bohemia and a perfect base for trips to the surrounding beautiful countryside or the grand château of Hluboká nad Vltavou. The card is linked to local accommodation and is virtual. You can enjoy a free tour of České Budějovice and receive discounts of up to 50 percent, for example, at Hluboká Zoo or the Hopsárium amusement centre.

Karlovy Vary: Benefits Not Only for Spa Guests

The renowned spa town of Karlovy Vary, a favourite among lovers of healing springs, wellness, and weekend relaxation, offers the Karlovy Vary Region Card. It provides free entry and discounts at more than 40 places – from museums and spas to cultural monuments. In addition, the card includes discounts for concerts and local transport.

Explore the Regions

In Moravia, the vast region in the east of Czechia, tourists can choose from two attractive cards. The Olomouc Region Card offers free entry to cultural institutions, discounts on public transport, and is also valid in the mountain areas of the Jeseníky Mountains. It is ideal for anyone wishing to explore the wider surroundings of Olomouc, this historically rich university town.

Another Moravian centre is Brno, the second largest city in Czechia. The BrnoPas is available, which includes free entry to major landmarks such as Špilberk Castle or the stunning functionalist Villa Tugendhat by the famous architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. It also offers unlimited travel on public transport.

Linked to the region of South Moravia – an area full of sunshine, vineyards, magnificent châteaux, château gardens and cycling trails – is the Moja karta card. It provides its holder with discounts on a wide range of attractions, from golf and entertainment centres to visits to natural sites.

There are several other tourist cards in the Czech Republic that offer discounts or free entry to various attractions. The Ostrava Card provides discounts for entry to museums in Ostrava, Czechia’s third largest city, as well as to the zoo, the Lower Vítkovice industrial complex, and cultural events.

The Technotrasa Card serves as a guide to the fascinating industrial landmarks of the Moravian-Silesian Region and offers discounted experiences. Technotrasa is unique in that it connects industrial history with a new kind of adventure. Unlike standard tourist trails, it takes you into authentic settings of former industrial sites, where you can try for yourself what it was like to mine coal, produce iron, or work in engineering factories. It also links places that would otherwise be difficult to visit individually.

Mountains and Nature

When travelling to natural locations, you may appreciate the Lipno Card, which offers discounts on cable cars, attractions, museums, castles, cruises, and sports equipment rentals in this beautiful area on the shore of the so-called South Bohemian Sea. The card is available even without the need for accommodation.

In the Krkonoše Mountains, the Harrachov Card is available and suitable for both day trips and longer stays. It provides benefits for cable cars, museums, and other attractions around the mountain resort of Harrachov. Visitors staying longer in the Krkonoše Mountains can take advantage of the Krkonoše Guest Card, issued free of charge by over 300 accommodation providers. It offers up to 30% discounts on cable cars, skiing, and other tourist services. It is the perfect addition for a comfortable and advantageous stay in the mountains.

In the Krkonoše Mountains, the highest mountain range in the Czech Republic and one of the most popular holiday destinations, the SummerPASS or EnjoyCard may also come in handy.

More discounts – not only in the mountains – are available with the Beskydy Wallachia Card, which offers attractive packages for visiting the mountains, open-air museums, and wellness facilities in this picturesque region in the east of Czechia. The Experience Card – Koruna Vysočiny, on the other hand, is a tourist discount card for visitors to the Koruna Vysočiny (Crown of the Highlands) region located in the heart of Czechia. It entitles holders to discounted entry to cultural monuments, museums, and natural sites.
