Prague discount cards

There are two companies offering discount cards for visitors to Prague. You can buy a special tourist card for visitors called a Matilda card (Prague Card) which provides entry to most major attractions for significantly reduced rates plus optina city transport pass for a fixed price of 790 CZK for adults and 530 CZK for children and students. This card is valid for 4 days. Similarly there is the Welcome Card Czechia. You can buy both of these at PIS tourist information offices and other tourists spots or at AMEX branches. If you are planning to see some tourist attractions and will be using public transport then these are good value for money.
