Transportation between Prague Ruzyne Airport and Prague Centre
Prague has only one international airport - Praha Ruzyne Airport - that is located
to the north-west of the city, about 17 km from the city centre. The airport has
no metro or train connection with the city centre and is only served by buses and taxis.
Two local buses connect the airport to metro stations.
The buses operate between 4.20 and 24.00, approximately every 20 minutes and cost CZK 26 (CZK 30 if bought from the driver).
There is also a relatively cheap airport bus MINIBUS CEDAZ which will get you to Dejvická metro station (CZK 90) and to V Celnici street (CZK 120) in the city centre. These buses run roughly from 7:30 until 19:00 every 30 minutes.
Another option is an airport taxi. A taxi from the airport to the downtown should cost about CZK 520 (not more than CZK 700).
