A Detailed Look at the Prague CoolPass Experience

What’s in the Package?

The Prague CoolPass provides entry to more than 70 top attractions with a single ticket—no need to buy separate entrance fees. Key highlights include free entry to Prague Castle (including St. Vitus Cathedral, Royal Palace, Golden Lane, and Daliborka Tower), the Jewish Museum and synagogues, Prague ZOO (ranked 4th best in the world), and several museums like the National Gallery, the Museum of Decorative Arts, and Kampa Museum. Many of these sites require tickets, so having them included saves both time and money.

The pass also bundles a 2-hour “Historical Prague” bus tour—a great way to get a quick overview of the city with minimal effort. Plus, you can enjoy a romantic cruise “Prague Venice” and choose one sightseeing cruise from Prague Boats, which adds a scenic dimension to your trip. The included one-hour river cruise and prosecco cruise are perfect for relaxing while taking in the sights from the water.

How does the digital guide work?

Instead of paper maps, the pass is accessed directly on your phone, which is both eco-friendly and convenient. The digital guide offers detailed descriptions of each attraction and navigation tips, so you can plan your route efficiently. As one reviewer pointed out, “the guide helped us see some places we wouldn’t have been aware of without the pass,” which makes it easier to discover hidden gems or less crowded spots.

How flexible is the pass?

One of the biggest perks is that you don’t need to activate the pass immediately upon arrival—you can start it any day during your stay. It activates with your first visit to an attraction, and then counts down the number of days you’ve purchased. Whether you’re arriving on a Monday or a Saturday, you can tailor the start date.

Is it good value?

Absolutely, especially if you plan to see many sights. Reviews consistently mention the significant savings: “it would have cost us £80 more without it,” said one traveler. For a typical visitor, spending around €100 on the pass could include entrance to popular attractions worth up to three times that amount. The ability to combine attractions, tours, and cruises makes it a very budget-friendly option.

Who will love this?

Active travelers eager to pack their days with sightseeing, families wanting the convenience of all-in-one access, and those who love to explore at their own pace are the ideal audience. If you prefer a slow, leisurely visit with plenty of time for coffee stops and wandering, you might want to cherry-pick your attractions or consider a shorter pass.
