Vaclav Havel Airport Prague (PRG)

Last verified: October 2026 · Confirmed by travelers this month: 0

The answer
Take trolleybus 59 from outside either arrival hall to Nádraží Veleslavín, then metro line A — one 90-minute PID ticket covers both, 50 Kč on paper or 46 Kč in the PID Lítačka app. About 15 minutes on the trolleybus, 35 to the centre.
The airport sits inside Prague's ordinary fare zone P: no airport surcharge, no special ticket — the same 90-minute ticket carries you and one suitcase through the metro into the centre.
Tight budget? The 30-minute ticket at 39 Kč is not enough once you change to the metro — a ticket check costs 1,200 Kč on the spot.
In a hurry? The Airport Express runs non-stop to the main railway station in about 40 minutes for a separate 200 Kč; PID tickets and 24/72-hour passes are not valid.

🚎 Every way out — real prices

Trolleybus 59 + metro line A BEST FOR MOST
50 Kč
Line 59 replaced bus 119 on 6 March 2024 and runs every few minutes from the kerb outside both arrival halls to Nádraží Veleslavín in about 15 minutes, where you change to metro line A. One 90-minute ticket covers both legs — 50 Kč paper, 46 Kč in the app, 55 Kč by SMS. Validators stand on the platform, so stamp a paper ticket before boarding.
Airport Express (AE) to the main station
200 Kč
The coach leaves Terminal 1 only, non-stop to Praha hlavní nádraží (metro C and mainline trains) in about 40 minutes, every 20–30 minutes by day, hourly at night. Adult 200 Kč, children 6–15 and dogs 100 Kč, under-6s and luggage free. No PID ticket is valid; buy from the driver or at the DPP counter in either arrival hall. Terminal 2 has no AE stop.
Bus 100 + metro line B
50 Kč
Bus 100 runs from the same kerb to Zličín in about 18 minutes, where metro line B reaches Anděl, Karlovo náměstí, Můstek and Florenc. Same 90-minute ticket, about 45 minutes to the centre, best if your hotel is on the yellow line.
Night buses 907 and 910
50 Kč
The metro stops around midnight. From roughly 00:00 to 04:30 lines 907 and 910 run from the centre to the terminals every 30 minutes in about 45–50 minutes, picking up at Hradčanská, Náměstí Republiky, I. P. Pavlova and Karlovo náměstí. Same tickets as by day.
24-hour or 72-hour PID ticket
150 Kč / 350 Kč
150 Kč on paper or 140 Kč in the app for 24 hours, 350 Kč or 340 Kč for 72 hours. Both cover the airport trip and then the metro, trams, buses, ferries, the Petřín funicular and Prague's suburban trains. Validate once on the first ride — a second stamp voids the ticket.
Uber Airport (the only official taxi)
600–900 Kč
There is no walk-up taxi rank: the airport's own page names Uber its official service, booked from the app, from self-service kiosks (card only) or from a counter in each arrival hall, 07:00–21:00 daily. Cars wait in front of the T1 and T2 arrival halls and the price is fixed in the app before you ride — expect roughly 600–900 Kč to the centre in 25–40 minutes, a range rather than a published fare.

⚠️ The traps (walk past these)

The 200 Kč Airport Express takes no PID ticket — and sells you the wrong one

The AE is a special-tariff line: ordinary PID tickets, the 24-hour and 72-hour passes and app tickets are all not valid, though the airport sells you all of them in the same hall. Worse, the card terminal inside the AE bus sells only the 24-hour (150 Kč) and 72-hour (350 Kč) city tickets, and the PID tariff states that a ticket bought on the AE bus cannot be used on the AE.

Do this: pay the 200 Kč AE fare itself, or take trolleybus 59 for 46 Kč
The 39 Kč ticket that ends in a 1,200 Kč fine

A 30-minute ticket (39 Kč paper, 36 Kč app) looks right for a 15-minute trolleybus ride but expires on the metro; the airport run needs the 90-minute ticket at 50 Kč, or 46 Kč in the app. No valid ticket costs 1,200 Kč on the spot, 1,500 Kč within 15 days or 2,000 Kč later.

Do this: buy the 90-minute ticket in the PID Lítačka app and activate it 60 seconds before boarding
Nobody is the airport's taxi any more — and touts work the arrival hall

Guides still call Fix Taxi or AAA Radiotaxi the official Prague airport taxi. The airport's own page names Uber its official service, with the kiosks, the counters in both arrival halls and the pick-up points outside. Anyone approaching you at the baggage belt with a "taxi?" card is neither contracted nor price-capped, and quotes several times the 600–900 Kč the official service charges.

Do this: order at the counter, a kiosk or in the Uber app and walk past anyone who approaches you first
Line 119 is gone, and the Airport Express stop at the station has moved

Bus 119 has not existed since 6 March 2024 — the airport trolleybus is line 59, same stops, same ticket, more luggage space. At the city end the AE's Hlavní nádraží stop moved on 3 August 2026 for the Wilsonova Street rebuild: it now loads in Opletalova Street about 65 m past the Jeruzalémská junction, until about November 2026. Citybound, the AE does not call at Terminal 2.

Do this: look for line 59 on the departure board and check the PID app for the current AE stop at Hlavní nádraží
There is still no train to the airport

The rail link to Masarykovo nádraží is still only being prepared by the railway authority, and PID's current airport page lists no train service at all: only trolleybus 59, buses 100 and 191, the AE and night lines 907/910. The nearest station reachable from a terminal is Nádraží Veleslavín, at the end of trolleybus 59, where metro A starts.

Do this: plan on trolleybus 59 to Nádraží Veleslavín and pick up metro A or a train there
