Prague trams suspended near the National Theatre on 15 November 2026

Trams do not run in either direction on the Vltava embankment between Palackého náměstí and the National Theatre, and on the section between Jiráskovo náměstí and Myslíkova, on Sunday 15 November 2026 from 08:00 to 17:00. According to PID, the Prague integrated transport system, the closure covers tram lines 5, 17 and 53; the Prague 1 district names track repair at Palackého náměstí as the reason. Lines 5, including the linked 5/6 service, and 17 take a detour via Karlovo náměstí, and line 17 serves the National Theatre at the Národní třída stop instead of its usual Národní divadlo stop.

What it means for your trip

• One Sunday only, daytime hours. The closure runs from 08:00 to 17:00 on 15 November 2026; normal tram service returns the same evening.
• No tram stop on the National Theatre embankment. If you are walking along the river between the National Theatre and Palackého náměstí, trams will not pass during these hours, though the riverside path stays open to pedestrians.
• Lines 5 and 17 detour via Karlovo náměstí. For line 17 towards the National Theatre, use the Národní třída stop instead of Národní divadlo.
• No replacement buses are provided, according to PID, so check your exact connection in a journey planner before you travel through this stretch.
• Charles Bridge and the Old Town are not affected; the closure concerns the riverside section further south, around the National Theatre and Palackého náměstí.

If your Prague weekend takes you along this stretch of the river, our private boat trip on the Vltava departs nearby and gives you a calm view of the embankment from the water instead. Tell us your dates through plan my trip and we arrange the transfers around any closure.
