The Prague metro is celebrating 50 years of service this week with a number of special events for the public. People can visit an exhibition on the history of the metro, ride on the historic first trains that opened the Prague subway or play a geo game that will take them to all the stations around the city.

It is May 9th 1974 and at 9 hours and 19 minutes, Prague’s first metro train carrying the communist top brass and selected journalists undertakes its first journey on line C, going from Kačerov to Florenc. The event was the main story on the prime time evening news.
