Prague Airport (PRG) is located 17km west of the city centre.

Hundreds of flights arrive at Prague Airport every day, providing direct connections to the Czech capital from cities throughout Europe, North America, Asia and Africa. The airport serves 16 million passengers per year.

Prague Airport has two main passenger terminals:

-Flights from outside the Schengen area (for example, flights from the UK, North America and Asia) arrive at Terminal 1.

-Flights from within the Schengen area (covers most of Europe) arrive at Terminal 2.

Prague Airport offers all the facilities travellers would expect of a modern airport. It is also easy to navigate: from the furthest gate to passport control is no more than a 10-minute walk.

A Tourist Information (Visitor Centre) is in the Arrivals Hall at both terminals. Open daily 08:00-20:00.

Public Transport Information is in the Arrivals Hall at both terminals. Open daily 07:00-21:00.

Currency exchange (Bureau de Change) services are in the arrivals and departures halls of both terminals (although visitors will obtain a much better exchange rate in the city centre).

Cash machines (ATMs) are at both terminals. The ATMs in the baggage halls charge high transaction fees, so wait until you exit customs and use the bank ATMs in the arrivals halls.

-At Terminal 1, exit customs and in the Arrivals Hall the bank ATMs are to your right, by the stairs.

-At Terminal 2, exit customs and in the Arrivals Hall the bank ATMs are to your right.

There is good 5G and 4G reception for devices connecting to Vodafone, T-Mobile, O2, EE, Three, China Mobile and other mobile phone networks.

For passengers departing Prague, both airport terminals offer a range of other facilities, including restaurants, cafés, airport lounges, and local and international shops. There is even a Billa supermarket.

Most restaurants are fast-food outlets and Czech pub style eateries. Costa Coffee and Starbucks both have outlets too. For a good balance of food quality and price, the self-service canteen located on the upper level of Terminal 1 is the best dining option. It offers hot Czech food and salads, and is where the airport workers and airline crews go.

Airport shops sell duty free goods, including jewellery, watches, luxury branded clothing and perfumes, plus Czech beers, wines, Champagne and spirits. Tax free shopping, offering savings of up to 21%, is available to passengers departing on flights bound for destinations outside the EU.

A Tax Refund Desk, to reclaim VAT on purchases made in shops in Czechia, is located near passport control.
