Overcharging foreigners is, unfortunately, still a frequent occurrence in Prague. Do use reliable radio taxi companies like AAA, tel 140 14, hotel taxis, or public transit. DON’T use any of those shiny new Mercedes cabs waiting in places like Wenceslas Square, Old Town Square, etc. Always request a receipt printed by the meter, not one written by hand.
