Getting into Prague from Prague Airport by public transport
There is no metro at Prague Airport, so if you have luggage or prefer a smooth journey into the city, we advise booking a taxi using our airport transfer service.
To travel by public transport into the city, take either bus 119 from Prague Airport to Dejvicka metro station (line A), then cross the main road and catch the metro. Or, take bus 100 from Prague Airport to Zlicin metro station (line B), then catch the metro.
Total travel time for either route is around 60 minutes.
Fare: 32czk if you have a ticket. 40czk for a ticket purchased from the driver.
Getting around Prague by public transport
Once in the city and checked-in to your hotel, travel around either on foot (Prague is highly pedestrianised) or take public transport. Use taxis with caution - taxis hailed on the street have a reputation for overcharging, and traffic congestion can slow your journey.
A ticket for the Prague public transport network permits travel on all trams, buses and the metro for a set period of time. And it allows you to transfer between transportation modes.
1, 3 and 5 travel day passes are worth considering, enabling you to travel on any mode of public transport at any time.
Purchase tickets at newsagents, at any metro station, or at a Public Transport Information Centre - located at Prague Airport, and at Muzeum and Mustek metro stations.
