Václav Havel Airport Prague (PRG)

Getting Around

How to get to and from Václav Havel Airport Prague — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.

Transport Options at PRG

Václav Havel Airport Prague is connected to Prague and the wider Czech Republic transport network by multiple ground transport options.

Bus & Shuttle

No direct rail link exists yet, so buses are the core public-transport option: trolleybus 59 to Veleslavín (connecting to Metro Line A) is fastest at about 15 minutes; bus 100 goes to Zličín (Metro Line B); bus 191 runs a longer route via Petřiny and Anděl (both metro lines); night buses 907/910 run after metro hours. Standard Prague Public Transit (PID) tickets apply, bought before boarding via machine, app (Lítačka), or counter.

Taxi

Official airport taxi services (marked counters/ranks in arrivals) are the safe option; fares to the city center are commonly described as running from roughly a few hundred up to around 700 CZK depending on destination and traffic, but this varies enough that it should be treated as a rough estimate rather than a fixed price. Currency: CZK.

Rideshare

Uber and Bolt both operate at the airport with designated pickup areas, and are widely used as a cheaper, more predictable alternative to airport taxi ranks.

Car Rental

Yes — major international rental car counters are available in the terminal.

Insider tip

A long-planned direct rail link (the Prague-Kladno line via the airport) is under active construction but is not expected to be fully operational until around 2030, so don't expect a train option for years yet. Separately, avoid unofficial drivers who approach travelers in the arrivals hall offering rides — this is a well-documented, longstanding scam at this airport; use the official taxi stand or a rideshare app instead.

Transport routes, fares and operators change frequently. Verify current options on the official Václav Havel Airport Prague website before travel.
