museums, the Petřín Lookout Tower and Vyšehrad. Note that the pass does
not include the Prague Jewish Museum.
The pass is available for two to four days, starting at 880/580Kč per adult/

offices as well as some hotels. You can buy the card online at

.
Passes purchased online have the option to
buy unlimited public transport, though prices are about the same as you would
pay normally.
Electricity
Electricity in Prague is 230V, 50Hz AC. Outlets have the standard European
socket with two small round holes and a protruding earth (ground) pin. If you
have a different plug, bring an adapter. North American 110V appliances will
also need a transformer if they don't have built-in voltage adjustment.
