All long-distance trains arrive to the main railway station (Hlavní nádraží). The trains arriving from Berlin – Dresden stop at the Holešovice station, too.

The two tram stops (Malostranské náměstí and Malostranská) are different stops, though there is just a one-stop distance between them. Malostranské náměstí is a real square, with a huge parking lot in the middle surrounded by several baroque palaces and a former jesuit college (currently the School of Computer Science).
