Transport From The Airport
Posted: Sun January 9, 2005 01:45 PM UTC
Apologies if this is a repeated question.

I am travelling to prague in two weeks time and would like to know what is the best way to get from the airport to Hotel Fenix, just off Wenceslas square.

I've heard that Taxi's can be expensive.

Many thanks

hello there, i have just answered a similar post, and am more than happy to repeat it.
i also am going to prague in two weeks time and this is what i am probably going to do.
the below is quoted from a site.........http://www.andel3w.dk/antuser/groups/hotel-apollon.htm
though biased to my hotel i am staying in, it still gives you a rough idea.

If you don't wish to be picked up by a private driver but still want to enjoy a good quality transfer service we suggest you to take one of the airport taxis in front of the arrivals hall. There are always enough of them, they're reliable and bring you all around Prague. The cars used are white Volkswagen Passats with air conditioning and can be recognized by the VISA stickers on the doors. But, although there is a VISA sticker, you cannot pay with a VISA card. The fares are reasonable and the drivers trustworthy:

- In Prague: ranging from 120 to 870 CZK (according to the zone)
- Outside Prague: 25 CZK / km

If your destination is within one of the zones on the map, used by the taxis, a discount of 20% is offered for the return journey. A map of price zones is available at the FIX-AIRPORT CARS counter in the arrivals hall, on the information column at the taxi stand, and in each of the vehicles.

AIRPORT TAXI (NO BOOKINGS CAN BE MADE IN ADVANCE)

Service will be paid directly to the driver.

Type of Car:
Passengers
From
To

Volkswagen Passat Up to 3-4
120 CZK - 870 CZK


approx £2-3 - £ 18-20 despending on where, so not a major rip off, just remember to agree on a fee prior to moving off. (always barter)
best wishes, lee

Hi there,

We usually take on of the Cedoz shuttle mini-buses that run between the Airport and namesti Republicky. The cost is 90kr per person and they run every half hour. From namesti republicky it shouldn't be too far to walk to your hotel. We have always found this service reliable, easy and cost-effective

Cedoz also offers a shared-ride service which will take you direct to your hotel, Prices for this are about 360kr for 1 to 4 passengers.

When you leave the Airport you'll see the mini-buses with the Cedoz logo outside. Just ask for either the namesti republiky shuttle or the hotel service and you should be directed to the right stop.

Have a great time in Prague!

Cheers, Mightywease x

The 119 (I think) bus from the airport to Djevicka and them the metro to Wenceslas Square would take less than 1 hour and cost less than 1 euro. Easily the best way.

If you are staying close to the yellow metro line then the 100 bus to Zlicin is faster. Last bus is around 2350. After that you have to take the 510 nightbus to Divoka Sarka and change onto the Tram 51.
