Public transport is the cheapest and often surprisingly efficient way to reach the city centre from Prague Airport. The airport is not directly connected to the metro system, but buses and trolleybuses connect quickly to metro stations.

The fastest option: Trolleybus 59 + Metro Line A

The modern trolleybus line 59 connects the airport terminals with the metro station “Nádraží Veleslavín” (Green Line A). From there you can continue directly to central Prague areas such as Malostranská, Staroměstská, Můstek, or Muzeum.

Alternative routes

• Bus 100 → Metro Line B (Zličín)
• Bus 191 → slower route with several city connections
• Airport Express (AE) → direct connection to Prague Main Railway Station (Hlavní nádraží)

Tickets

A standard Prague public transport ticket is valid for buses, trolleybuses, metro, and trams. You can buy tickets:

• at airport ticket machines
• at public transport counters
• directly in the PID Lítačka app

Travel time to the centre is usually around 30–45 minutes, depending on traffic and destination.

Useful tips

• Google Maps works very well in Prague for route planning
• If you stay in Prague for several days, consider buying a 24h or 72h transport pass
• Public transport is safe, reliable, and operates frequently even during evenings

If you arrive late at night, have heavy luggage, or simply prefer convenience, using a taxi app is often the easiest solution.

The two most commonly used ride apps in Prague are:

• Uber
• Bolt

Both apps usually offer better prices and more transparency than standard airport taxis.

Typical transfer time to the centre:

• around 25–35 minutes, depending on traffic

Average price:

• approximately 600–900 CZK depending on destination and demand

We strongly recommend downloading the apps before arriving at the airport.
