Czech Republic » Getting to Prague

Prague is less than 2 hours flying time from London.

By Air

Prague is served by Ruzyne International Airport, which is the hub of the flag carrier, Czech Airlines. There are several cheap flights per day from the UK and from other countries.

Most flights leave Ruzyne International Airport from the North Terminal. The South Terminals, South and South2, handle a few irregular flights, as well as VIP Flights, special flights and small aircraft.

In 2005, the airport served 10.8 million passengers.

By Train

The city forms the hub of the Czech railway system, with services to all parts of the Czech Republic and to neighbouring countries. Prague has two international railway stations, Hlavní nádraží (sometimes referred to as Wilsonovo nádraží) and Praha Holešovice. Intercity services also stop at the main stations Praha Smíchov and Masarykovo nádraží. In addition to these, there are a number of smaller suburban stations.

By Road

Public transport infrastructure consists of an integrated transport system of three metro lines, trams (including the "nostalgic tram" no. 91), buses, a funicular to Petra­n Hill and a chairlift at Prague Zoo. All services have a common ticketing system, and are run by Dopravní podnik hl. m. Prahy (The Capital City of Prague Transport Company).
