How to get to the city centre from the airport
- Airport transfer service: Besides being the most comfortable and recommendable option, it has a really economical price. When you book our transfer service, the driver will be waiting for you to take you to the hotel quickly and without any hassle. You can book your transfer from Prague airport to your hotel at this link.
- Taxi: Between € 35 (US$ 36.82) and € 45 (US$ 47.34). Much less interesting than the transfer, as some of the cab drivers in Prague are not very reliable.
- Terravision bus: This convenient shuttle bus service makes trips between the airport and the center of Prague in about 30-45 minutes. It costs € 4.20 (US$ 4.41) each way and you can buy tickets online at this link.
- Bus 119: Departs from Terminal 1 and 2 and arrives at Nádraží Veleslavín (metro line A) in 15 minutes. Here, travellers can get the metro using the same transport ticket to their hotel's closest metro station. This bus is the best option if you’re staying in the city’s historic centre. A one-way ticket will cost 32CKZ (€1.20 - $1.35 - £1). All tickets have to be bought at the Public Transport information point at the airport or directly on the bus. If you purchase the ticket from the bus driver, it'll be slightly more expensive.
- Bus 100: Runs between Terminal 1 and 2 and Zličín metro station (metro line B) in 20 minutes.
- Airport Express bus: This bus runs between the airport and Prague’s main railway station (Hlavní nádraží), which is found on metro line C. A one-way journey is more expensive than taking public transport, costing Kč 60 (US$ 2.52) (€ 1.80 (US$ 1.89) - US$ 2- £ 1.50 (US$ 1.90)). This is the best transport to take if you’re going to catch a train from Prague train station. The route takes around 35 minutes.
- Buses 179 and 225: These buses run between the airport and Nové Butovice (metro line B) and take approximately 45 minutes.
- Night bus 510: If you get to Prague Airport after midnight, when the other buses no longer run, you can take the 510-night bus to Divoká Šárka, where you can then take the night tram 51 to the city centre. Here, you can take other night buses or trams to get to your final destination. Note that the metro closes at around midnight.
Prague Airport Museum
If you arrive with enough time and would like to explore the Prague Airport Museum before getting to your hotel, it's located in Terminal 2. The museum features a replica of an aircraft cabin and photographs and videos depicting the history of the airport.
