“Great hop on hop off bus tour and river cruise. We did the 48 hours and tried both the red line and the green line. We preferred the green line as it went round the centre of Prague and you could see the incredible landmarks up close. The red line is less of a sightseeing bus and more of a bus to get you to the top attractions, e.g. the stop called “Prague Castle” was where to get off to go to the castle but we couldn’t actually see it. This is fine for some but we were using the buses to see the landmarks as we didn’t have much…”
