By taxi

The route by taxi takes approximately 40 min. There are two official taxi providers from the airport, see https://www.prg.aero/en/taxi for contact details. The cost should be around 1200 CZK (45 EUR).
Alternatively, you can call a taxi of your choice by phone or use Uber or Bold (Taxify) but keep in mind that only the two official providers can use the taxi rank in front of the main building. Short-term parking lots are convenient for meeting alternative taxis: one is located directly in front of Terminal 2 Departures (2nd floor, use lift or escalators), another in front of Terminal 1 Departures at a distance about 30 m from the main building (behind the official taxi rank and a bus stop).

By public transport

It takes typically 80 minutes and you have to change three times. The total cost is 40 CZK (1.50 EUR), a 40 CZK ticket can be bought from a ticket-vending machine or at the public transport information desk at the airport. The ticket should be validated on entering the first carriage. More information can be found at https://www.prg.aero/en/public-transport-buses.
