About Access Prague

Access Prague explains how the city actually works for someone visiting it — tickets, opening hours, what is free, what is worth paying for, and what will be shut when you arrive.

Who writes this

The Access Prague Editorial Team. That is a house name rather than a person, and we would rather say so than invent a biography. We work from the public record: the transport operator, the city and state offices, museum and castle ticketing pages, and published statistics.

How these articles are made

Articles on this site are drafted with the help of AI language models from published sources, and checked before they are published. We say so plainly because a reader deserves to know how what they are reading was produced.

Automation is why we can cover the unglamorous things at all. Prague’s practical detail — the 90-minute ticket, which castle ticket covers which buildings, when the koruna matters — is documented thoroughly in Czech and thinly in English. Drafting quickly is what makes it worth writing at all.

Before anything goes live we check the load-bearing facts against a primary source and date them on the page. Fares and opening times change; the date tells you whether to trust the number.

What we do not do

  • We have not visited the places described here. No invented local favourites, no “our team loved”, no restaurant reviews written from a desk.
  • We do not invent people. No fabricated authors, no fake credentials, no made-up quotes from residents.
  • We do not print a number we could not check. Where the evidence is unclear we say so, and where a claim belongs to someone else we name them.

When we are wrong

Sometimes we will be. Prices rise, offices move, rules change and sources go stale. Anything factual carries the date it was verified; treat an old date as a reason to confirm before you act. This is general information and our own editorial view, not advice for your particular situation.

How the site pays for itself

Advertising, and occasionally affiliate links. Where a link earns us a commission it is marked as sponsored and the page says so. Our comparison articles carry those links; the everyday practical guides do not, because they have nothing to sell and we would rather they stayed clean. What we recommend never depends on what pays.

See our privacy policy for what is collected when you read this site — very little, and almost none of it by us.

About what you read here. Everything on Access Prague is general information and our own editorial opinion. We research carefully and we say when the evidence is unclear, but we can be wrong, things change, and no article can know your particular situation. Please do your own research and make your own judgement rather than treating anything here as the final word. Prices, products and specifications around the topics we cover change constantly, and what suits one person will not suit another. Check current details yourself, and where a decision involves real money, safety or something you cannot undo, it is worth confirming with a qualified professional before you act.

We do not book anything. Access Prague is a guide. It sells nothing, takes no bookings or reservations, handles no payments, and holds no tickets, rooms or seats. Some links here lead to travel companies, and some of those are affiliate links that may earn this site a commission at no extra cost to you. Any booking you make is a contract between you and that company, under its own terms, prices and cancellation rules. We are not a party to it and have no responsibility for it — including availability, prices, changes, cancellations, refunds or anything that goes wrong on the trip. Check the details with the company before you pay.
