The Metro transport system of Prague is quick and easy to navigate around. There are 3 metro lines (A, B, and C) and each are colour coordinated. Buy your metro ticket at the station and then stamp it on entry. The trains are regular and generally clean and safe to use. Use the main stations Muzeum, Mustek and Staromestska for Old Town Prague and for Wenceslas Square. For Mala Strana and Prague castle use Malostranska.

Getting to the CITY:

 

You can easily get to city using one of public buses, No.100, No.119, No.254 and No.179. You must buy a ticket before travelling at the arrivals lobby, at ticket machines or at the newsagents. Tickets cost just 12 CZK (35p). If you take the No.119 or No.254 bus (every 15 to 20 minutes, journey takes about 20min) you should get off at the last stop called Dejvicka where you can transfer to the metro (subway) line A. In just a few metro stops and you will be in the city centre.

 

When buying 12 CZK ticket for public transport you will receive a transferable ticket allowing you to travel for a 90 minute period. Note that if you are carrying any large pieces of luggage i.e. a backpack or suitcase you will need to purchase an additional ½ price ticket. You can also take the No.100. bus which will take you from the airport to Zlicin – the underground terminal stop of the yellow line (B) that leads to the town centre (Mustek station).

 

If travelling in the night, catch a night bus No 510 (between midnight and 3.30) from Prague airport to the tram-bound at Divoka Sarka, then go by tram No 51 to Dejvicka metro station or further to the city centre (Namesti Republiky or Wenceslas Square). Alternatively there is a taxi rank and private shuttles which take you directly to the city from Prague airport. Be aware that Prague taxi drivers, though less than before, may try to rip of tourists.
