Bus stops are situated directly in front of both airport terminals. Take the bus 119 to the end stop Nadrazi Veleslavin, then take metro (green line A) to Muzeum station, then change to red metro line C and take it to Ládví station. The journey takes approx. 1 hour.
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 9) 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.

The journey from the airport to Ládví takes around half an hour and should cost around 700 CZK. The taxi rank of both official airport companies (Taxi Praha and Fix Taxi) 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.
All principal railway stations are situated along Metro stations. There are only 3 Metro lines in Prague (A, B, C) so it is not difficult to reach Ládví 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 Taxi Praha, just call 14007 and wait 5–10 minutes until your taxi picks you up.
