Vaclav Havel Prague Airport
In 2007 Vá clav Havel Prague Airport was recognized as the best among the airports in Central and Eastern Europe. And this is not surprising, because Prague is a tourist cultural center, where millions of tourists arrive, and designers and builders did their best to start their arrival in Prague from a chic airport. The first airport terminal opened in 1937.
The airport is not big, it is very easy to navigate, everything is intuitive. Direction signs are well placed so you can't miss.
On the territory of the airport there are various restaurants, snack bars and shops, you will not stay hungry even at night.
In general, quite organized in all respects, the airport, where tourists arrive from all over the world!

As for public transport, the best bus route is number 119. The bus stop is located 20 meters from the exit of the terminal. Will the bus take you to the final stop of the Ná dra metro? í Veleslaví n, where you need to change to the metro.
Where to buy tickets
We recommend buying a ticket for 90 minutes (in the Czech Republic there is a time payment).
Tickets are sold at special MHD (city public transport) terminals or at information offices. They work from 7:00 to 22:00.
If you change money, ask for 200 crowns in coins to buy a ticket from the street vending machines at the bus stop.
Tickets can also be purchased directly from the driver. It will cost a little more.
Taxi or transfer campaign
The airport in Prague can be reached both by taxi and by transfer services.
We recommend foreign tourists to use the services of a professional transfer. Dozens of taxis will meet you at the Prague airport, for example, the AAA company or 1.1. 1. , but their cost is fabulously high. It's good that there is a great opportunity to transfer from / to Prague airport for a fixed price - 400 crowns (15 euros).
Transfer cost
Letiste Express offers transfers to and from Prague Airport at a fixed price of 400 CZK. Which is 15 euros. The cost is fixed and does not change depending on the distance from the starting / ending point in Prague, does not depend on the traffic situation and the time of the trip. For 15 euros you can get from the airport to the following places:
Center of Prague;
Old city;
District Vinohrady;
Vyshegrad;
Nysle area;
Zizkov;
All these are popular tourist areas, where hundreds of hotels are located.
But the cost of 400 crowns also applies to other areas of Prague, including such remote ones as Rzepy or Hloubetin. As a result, you can get from Prague airport to your hotel for 15 euros. The cost is the same for the return trip to the airport. Together with Letiste Express, you can get from the airport not only to an address in Prague, but also to other cities in the Czech Republic. Here are just a few examples of prices:
Prague-Karlovy-Vary: 2000 crowns;
Prague-Brno: 2800 CZK;
All fares are fixed and the cost does not change depending on the traffic situation. If necessary, for an additional fee of 50 CZK, the car can be equipped with a child seat. This transfer is especially beneficial for those who need to get to a remote area of Prague, including not only tourists, but also local residents.
How to book a transfer
You can order a transfer at home, via the Internet, or by phone:
Phone: +420775159053
Through the form on the website: http://letisteexpress. cz/ cz/en/
It's convenient because you don't have to spend time in Prague, and you don't have to overpay. Transfer in any direction must be booked in advance (at least 2 hours in advance). So you can order a transfer while still in your homeland. When ordering an airport transfer, you must provide your flight number. This is convenient as your driver will follow the flight and arrive at the airport on time. And you do not need to worry that the transfer will leave without you, if your flight is late.
The driver can meet you with a name sign in the arrivals hall. If necessary, you can receive a check at the end of the trip. This is important for those who travel to Prague on a business trip and need a transfer with a receipt.
Alternatives
It is pointless to compare the fixed cost of a transfer with the cost of official airport taxis, the difference can be 2-3 times.
The only serious competitor to this offer is Uber. A popular driver search service works great in Prague, but it can't compete with a transfer for 400 crowns. For comparison, we chose the Vyš erad area, which is popular among tourists. Estimated cost of the trip: 436-574 kroons, and this does not take into account traffic congestion:
Although traffic jams are rare in Prague, it is unlikely that you will get there for less than 500 crowns, given that the path runs through the city center. But Uber loses not only in cost, but also in comfort. Especially if we are talking about the way from the airport. By ordering a transfer in advance, you no longer need to worry about how to call a taxi in Prague or find an Uber car upon arrival.
All this makes the transfer from Letiste Express one of the most profitable options for getting from / to Prague airport.
