U-BAHN, S-BAHN & TRAM IN PRAHA :: Urban Rail in the Czech Capital Prague

The Czech capital has a lot to offer to urban rail enthusiasts — three modern metro lines, an extensive tram system with more than 20 lines, and a frequent suburban service on the national rail network. The city’s transport system is complemented by the Petrin funicular and trolleybuses, which have returned to Prague in 2024.

In this bilingual book, Robert Schwandl presents every means of urban rail transport, providing a brief overview of the respective history of each system and the vehicles used. At the end of the book, readers will find detailed maps in the form of an atlas of the entire region.
