Prague Transportation

Prague is a very accessible city, not only via the city's busy international airport but also by the surrounding area's excellent road and rail networks.

Arriving by Air

The capital city of the Czech Republic is served by Prague Ruzyne Airport.

Getting Around Prague

Although Prague is not very big, the attractions are scattered across the city. Tickets for the metro, trams and buses are interchangeable and best bought in advance from newsagents (tabák), hotel reception desks or street kiosks. It is also possible to purchase a reasonably priced tourist pass, valid for between one and five days. For speed, the modern, Russian-built metro is the most successful. However, a tram ride, particularly the Vinohrady to Hradčany route, is a superb way of sightseeing. Taxis are available at clearly marked ranks. They can also be hailed in transit.
