Arrival Info
Airport Ruzyne:
there are some comfy and not very difficult ways to get down town.
Public transport
Bus No 119 is most commonly used to get to the centre, as it goes to the metro station Dejvicka (green line A), from where you can get to any place from the historical centre in just a few minutes. For further info about tickets and timetables see section Public Transport
Taxi
the most comfortable, yet expensive way to get wherever you need. The approximate cost of a ride to the centre should not cost more than 800 CZK (that is about 28 EUR). In order to avoid any unpleasant situation that might occur, we recommend using some registered reliable taxi service companies.
Railway Station
the Main Railway Station (Hlavni Nadrazi), an international rail road hub, where you will find a 24-hour left-luggage service, information desks, exchange offices, food stalls and booking offices. The Main station is situated basically in the centre of Prague, just 5 minutes away from Wenceslas Square and other places of interest. It is also well connected to the rest of the city by public transport, that is by underground (red line C) and trams.
By Car
the highway connection from Prague to the border of the Czech Republic is available only in two directions - southeast and southwest. The south-western highway (D5; international E50) leads through Pilsen (Plzeň) to Germany. The D5 highway continues in Germany as A6. Riding from the state border to Prague takes about an hour and a half (160 km). To the northwest you can take highway D8 (E55), but it is not complete to the German border. It ends now at Lovosice (about 60 km from Prague and starts again in Usti nad Labem and continues to the northern Germany via A17 (Dresden, Berlin, Leipzig)
