If you are travelling by plane, you should know that Prague has an international airport called Ruzyne, which is located quite close to the city center, at about 15 km northwest. To get to the city center by car, it will probably take you 30 minutes or even 40 minutes in rush hours.

Once you get off the plane, there are several transportation options you can choose from. There are the shuttle companies, the taxies and the public transportation which is the cheapest, but also really clean and reliable. However, if you are tired after your flight or have a lot of baggage, then you should choose a taxi or other service than the subway or buses.

INSIDE PRAGUE

By Car

Just like many other big or crowded cities in Europe, Prague can also be a real challenge if you choose to drive inside the city, especially downtown. Anyway, if you still want to take your car in Prague, you should know that there are three big parking zones in the city canter, where you can leave your car, but be careful what you leave in it because car burglary and theft are quite frequent.

If you enter the city by car, but decided to take the public transportation to the city center or just walk, then you can leave your car in a guarded Park & Ride, for a very small fee of about 0.30 EUR for one day. So, think twice before driving to Prague city center or around it and for your own comfort, choose an easier option.

By Tram

The rail network is quite developed in Prague, covering a large area of the city, with about 500 km of tracks. Trams run daily from early morning, starting with 4.30 a.m. until midnight, every 8 or 10 minutes. There are also night trams that run every 40 minutes, from 00.30 a.m. to 4.30 a.m.

If you are planning a city tour, you can take tram 22 that passes by the National Theater to Belveder, Prague Castle and Pohorelec, offering amazing views across its route.

A special historic tram is the tram 91 which operates on weekends and holidays from April to November, and will take you through the city center.

By Bus

The city buses usually cover the surroundings of Prague and they are probably the best connection between the airport and the Dejvicka metro station.

By Foot

Welcome to Prague, on foot! You should not forget that Prague is a historic city, with a large number of sights and buildings to visit, and the city center is mostly a pedestrian zone, so walking would be the best option for you. Besides the benefits of a long, relaxing walk for your health and mind, visiting the city on foot will offer you the greatest experience ever!
