Airport



Vaclav Havel International Airport Prague handles flights of most European carriers and also some overseas flights. It is located 30 - 45 minutes by car from the centre of Prague. There is a good connection between the airport and city centre by public transport buses and taxis.

Public transport from / to the Vaclav Havel Airport Prague.

You can easily get to the city centre using one of the public buses. For the quickset transport to the city centre or the nearest metro station we advise using route 119. No. 119 Airport -> A Dejvicka, every 5 to 20 minutes, travel time 25 min), from metro station Dejvicka (green line) you can take a metro to station Muzeum, there you change for the red line (C) and go to station Vysehrad which is nearby the Congress Venue - Prague Congress Centre.

Unfortunately there is no direct subway or train connection from the airport to the city. You should buy a ticket before travelling and these can be found at the arrival hall, at ticket machines or at the newsagents (you can buy a ticket from the bus driver but large banknotes are not accepted). If you take the No. 119 bus (every 5 to 20 minutes, the journey takes about 25 min) you should get off at the last stop called Dejvicka where you can transfer to underground line A. In just a few metro stops you will be in the city centre. A transferable ticket allows you to travel for a 90 minute period. When you get on the bus or the tram you need to validate your ticket immediately by stamping a ticket in the validation machine. In subway, there are validation machines at the entrance to the subway station. A transferable ticket has to be validated only once when starting your journey. Note that if you are carrying any large pieces of luggage i.e. a backpack or suitcase you will need to purchase and additional 1/2 price ticket.

Public Transport

Prague has a very sophisticated subway, tram and bus transport system. The Prague underground is modern and efficient. At peak times, trains run every 1 or 2 minutes, and during off - peak hours at least every 10 minutes. DPP provides an interactive tool for searching the most convenient connection.
There are available short - term passes (unlimited travel within ticket validity). Most visitors find travel passes cost effective and hassle fee. If you use public transport more than a few times a day, definitely go for one.

Public transport tickets and passes

Please note that only tickets properly validated (stamped) in the machines are valid.
