Prague International Airport. Václav Havel is the largest in the Czech Republic and one of the busiest in Central and Eastern Europe. Czech Airlines is based here, and also receives aircraft from many European and world carriers.

Tickets

Previously, upon arrival at Prague airport, it was a pain to buy bus tickets. It was necessary to withdraw or change cash, preferably with coins, in order to buy a bus ticket. Less than 10 years have passed since they finally installed a machine that accepts cards. And there is also Russian language!

Now you just choose a ticket for 32 crowns for 90 minutes and calmly and leisurely get to the hotel.

Tickets can be purchased with cash or by card from the machine before going outside. Bus drivers also sell tickets, but more expensive - for 40 CZK and only in cash.

The Airport Express costs 60 CZK; children (6-15 years old) – 30 CZK, buy ticket from the driver.

There is also a Student Agency bus from the airport to and.

Why is it worth ordering a transfer?

If buses are not suitable for one reason or another, I advise you to book a taxi in advance. The driver will meet you at the airport even at night, help with your luggage, offer water after a tiring flight, and drive you to your destination.

Unlike ordering a taxi on the spot, you can order child seats or a large car in advance for a group of travelers. You can also pay for the transfer in full when ordering, and you will not have to hastily exchange money in another country to pay the driver.

Due to the construction of houses, the runway had to be significantly shortened. In addition, it was even necessary to change the axis of the strip.
