Getting To and Around Prague

As a hub for both tourist and business travel, Prague is very well-connected across the continent, with plenty of travel options to begin your dream holiday. The most common form of arrival is via Václav Havel Airport Prague, an international airport connected to adjacent European countries as well as further afield and conveniently located approximately 17 kilometres from the city centre. 

Alternative transport options from the airport include an airport express bus that travels to Prague’s central station, or travellers can use the shuttle bus. Both of these options run on a regular basis and offer a more cost-effective option than booking a taxi. 

With one of the best public transport networks in Europe, travelling around Prague could not be easier. Residents typically utilise the extensive metro system, which is primarily built around three colour-coded transport lines that span every corner of the city.  

For those that would rather stay above ground, Prague’s tram system is a highly reliable and convenient option, offering a service every eight to 10 minutes during peak hours. Travellers can even jump onboard one of the beautiful vintage trams that frequent the city, allowing holidaymakers to travel in style whilst they gaze at some of the city’s stunning sites.  

Thanks to its compact size, Prague is also easily walkable and can be comfortably enjoyed on foot, with the majority of the central districts remaining closed to all vehicular traffic. Alternatively, the metro’s ‘A’ (green) line connects major sights and is also a cheap and efficient option.
