The bell rings, brass fittings catch the light, and a wooden-bench tram eases forward along rails that have carried Prague's city life for more than a century. Riding Line 42 is less about speed and more about perspective: the Vltava glints past, baroque roofs lean close, and the tram moves like a patient guide through the city’s built history.
