Prague International Airport 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.
You can easily get to the city centre using one of the public buses. For the quickest transport to the city centre or the nearest metro station we advise using routes 119 and 100.
No.119 (Airport -> Metro A Dejvicka, every 5 to 20 minutes, travel time 25min), from metro station Dejvicka (green line) you can take a metro to station Mustek which is right in the city centre (close to Convention venues)
No.100 (Airport -> Metro B Zlicin, every 15 to 30 minutes, travel time 18 minutes), from metro station Zlicin (yellow line) you can take a metro to station Namesti Republiky which is right in front of the Convention Venue – Municipal House and as well close to Charles University.
Unfortunately there is no subway or train connection 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 (if arriving late and all shops are closed buy a ticket from the driver but large banknotes are not accepted). Tickets cost just 26 CZK (85p). If you take the No.119 bus (every 5 to 20 minutes, the journey takes about 25min) 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. When buying a 26 CZK ticket for public transport you will receive a transferable ticket allowing you to travel for a 90 minute period. Note that if you are carrying any large pieces of luggage i.e. a backpack or suitcase you will need to purchase an additional ½ price ticket. You can also take the No.100 bus which will take you from the airport to Zlicin - the underground station of the yellow line(B) that leads to the town centre (Mustek station).

At peak times, trains run every 1 or 2 minutes, and during off-peak hours at least every 10 minutes. You can find more information about Prague public transport on the web pages www.dpp.cz.
