Václav Havel Airport Prague

Václav Havel Airport Prague is about 18 km from the center of Prague, on the northwestern edge of the city in the Ruzyně district. Trolleybus 59 reaches the metro at Nádraží Veleslavín in about 15 to 17 minutes, and the AE Airport Express bus reaches the main railway station in about 40 minutes.

Yes. The airport is inside Prague's city limits, in the Ruzyně district on the northwestern outskirts, about 18 km from the center. It is served by the city's public transport system, with buses and a trolleybus running from stops directly in front of both terminals to metro stations.

Prague airport has two passenger terminals. Terminal 1 handles flights to and from countries outside the Schengen Area, such as the UK, Turkey, the Middle East, Asia and North America. Terminal 2 handles flights within the Schengen Area. The two are joined by a connecting building, and smaller Terminals 3 and 4 serve private and VIP flights.

At Prague, the terminal depends on where the flight goes rather than on the airline. Flights to the UK, Ireland, Turkey, the Middle East, Asia and North America use Terminal 1. Flights within the Schengen Area use Terminal 2. Airlines such as Smartwings, Ryanair, easyJet and Wizz Air use both, so check the terminal for your specific flight.

Prague Airport's official taxi service is Uber Airport. You can order it in the Uber app, at a self-service kiosk or at the service counter, which is staffed daily from 7:00 to 21:00. You receive a six-digit PIN to give the driver, and pick-up points are directly in front of the Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 arrivals halls.

Trolleybus 59 runs to Nádraží Veleslavín on metro line A in about 15 to 17 minutes, and bus 100 runs to Zličín on metro line B in about 18 minutes. The AE Airport Express goes from Terminal 1 to the main railway station in about 40 minutes. Night buses 907 and 910 run after the day lines stop.

Yes. Uber Airport is the airport's official taxi service, so Uber is the standard way to get a car at the terminal. Choose the Uber Airport product in the app, or order at a kiosk or the service counter. Drivers pick up in front of the arrivals halls, and dispatchers help between 7:00 and 21:00.

The Czech Republic is part of the Schengen Area. If you arrive from outside Schengen, you go through passport control in Terminal 1, where non-EU visitors on short stays are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System with fingerprints and a facial photo. The planned ETIAS travel authorization was not yet in operation as of October 2026.

No. The AE Airport Express bus to Praha hlavní nádraží, the main railway station, stops only at Terminal 1. It runs daily from 5:30 to 22:00 every 20 to 30 minutes and takes about 40 minutes. If you land at Terminal 2, walk through the connecting building to Terminal 1 to catch it.

RegioJet intercity buses run from the airport to Karlovy Vary every 30 to 60 minutes. For Český Krumlov in southern Bohemia, most travelers go by road with a private transfer or rental car, or travel into Prague first and continue by bus or train.

Prague uses Central European Time, UTC+1, and switches to UTC+2 from late March to late October. The Czech Republic uses the Czech koruna (CZK) rather than the euro, so prices and most payments are in koruna. Winters are cold, and summers are warm.
