A 30-day Adult Pass is 670 CZK, a 90-day Quarterly is 1,880 CZK and a 365-day Yearly is 6,100 CZK.

Other changes that went into effect July 1 include the option of suspending your OpenCard yearly pass for up to 14 days, twice a year. This option is not available with a transferable yearly pass. For those unfamiliar with OpenCard , it´s essentially a “smart card” that will someday be used for a variety of city services. Currently, it is mostly used as a yearly public transport pass and as a library card. A number of places have also started offering small discounts if you have an OpenCard including the Prague Zoo, Prague Botanical Garden, Troja Chateau, Prague City Museum and Prague Towers. More places, like museums and theaters are expected to join the list. Discounts range anywhere from 5%-50% off the admission price.  If you are interested in getting yourself an OpenCard, details can be found here .
