Public transport

From airport to Prague.

The connection between Václav Havel Airport Prague and Prague city centre is provided by public transport bus lines which operate at regular few-minute intervals. Bus stops are located directly in front of terminals. To get to Prague city centre the fastest by public transport, we recommend taking the 59 bus (Terminal 1/Terminal 2 – Veleslavín train station) and changing to metro Line A.

Prague subway scheme

Public transport bus rides are subject to regular Prague Public Transport Fares (including pre-paid passes). Bus rides do not need to be booked in advance. The passengers must buy a ticket before onboarding. Prague Airport is not the provider of the service.

From airport to main train station.

Václav Havel Airport Prague is directly connected to Prague Main Railway Station (Praha hlavní nádraží), from where a direct transfer to train services running to destinations within the Czech Republic and abroad is possible. This connection is provided by Airport Express buses.

Trains to Pardubice leave about once per hour, for detailed schedule please check electronic timetables. Although there is a possibility to use a rapid (R) train, which is cheaper, it is recommended to take Supercity (SC), Eurocity (EC) or Intercity (IC) train for comfortable and fast journey. The cost of the ticket is under 300 CZK. Many discounts apply to groups of travelers (groups as small as 2 people). Be aware that there are three rail companies - Czech Rail (most trains), Regio Jet (yellow trains) and Leo Express. All of them are good, however carriers compete with each other and the ticket is therefore always valid only on the train of the given carrier.
