Prague public transport is fast, efficient and frequent. Metro and most daily trams and buses operate every day from 5 AM till midnight. Night trams and buses (line numbers beginning with 5) operate throughout the night. Similar to most capitals, the concentration of picpockets is elevated, be aware in the historical centre as well as on your route from/to the airport.

Tickets:

Basic fare of 32 CZK (approx. 1.20 EUR) entitles the holder to use all means of public transport (Metro, trams, buses and cable car to the Petřín hill) for up to 90 minutes including unlimited number of changes. Cheaper fare of 24 CZK (approx. 0.90 EUR) entitles the holder to use the public transport for up to 30 minutes (daytime only; cheaper rate does not apply in night trams/buses). The ticket must be validated using a yellow box while entering the first bus or tram, or while first entering designated area in Metro. After validation, just keep the ticket with you.

Tickets can be purchased at:

Public Transport counters in Arrivals Halls of Terminals 1 & 2 (from 7 AM till 10 PM). Recommended option.
Ticket machines situated at the airport bus stops. New machines accept cash or card payment, older ones accept CZK coins only. Recommended option.
From a bus driver (petty cash required). Please note that a ticket purchased from a bus driver costs 40 CZK and the passenger should pay by coins or nominally small banknotes.
In the city, tickets can be purchased at newsagents, tobacconists, hotel receptions, ticket machines in Metro entrance areas etc.

When entering the bus, remember to validate the ticket.

Taxi

The journey from the airport to Na bojišti street (I. P. Pavlova metro station) takes approx. half an hour and should cost around 600 CZK. The taxi rank of both official airport companies (AAA radiotaxi and Fix) is situated directly in front of the airport terminal. For the journey back, we strongly recommend ordering a taxi from your hotel reception rather than finding a cab in the street.

Transport from railway stations to the Conference venue

All principal railway stations are situated along Metro stations. There are only 3 Metro lines in Prague (green A, yellow B, red C) so it is not difficult to reach I. P. Pavlova station (red line C).
If you decide to take a taxi, we strongly recommend ordering one rather than finding a cab in the street. For AAA radiotaxi, just call 14014 and wait 5–10 minutes until your taxi (yellow colour) picks you up.
