About this operator

Have Fun

Blablacar is a popular ridesharing platform with 70 million users over 22 (mostly European) countries. The basic idea is that you carpool with locals who are already planning to drive your route and have space in their car. With some flexibility, you’ll get to your destination often faster and cheaper than other means. On the website or app, enter your departure and arrival points and your date of travel, sift through the profiles of drivers who’ve posted pre-planned drives and find one whose timing and preferences match yours. Request to join the ride, wait to be accepted, and pay your share of the set price.

Rome2rio's guide to BlaBlaCar

Prague, Czech Republic

The historic heart of Bohemia, Prague is a dreamy destination. Nicknamed the City of a Thousand Spires, its 1100-year-old skyline is made up of domed churches and soaring towers. Its UNESCO World Heritage Site tag is indicative of its jaw-dropping attractions such as Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, the Clementinum, Wenceslas Square, the Old Town and the Astronomical Clock among many other architectural gems. Culture connoisseurs should head to the old Jewish Quarter to step back in history, the National Theatre for top opera, ballet and drama performances, as well as Lennon Wall – a throwback to the days of communist rule.
