Taxi and other direct transfers
A direct car journey is an alternative to a route involving public transport. The available facts do not give taxi fares, a fixed journey time from the airport to the hotel, or details of private transfer providers, so compare those details with the operator before booking.
At the airport, use the designated pickup arrangements for the service you choose. Check the operator’s instructions for where to meet your driver, what the fare includes and how to handle changes to your arrival time.
Planning for luggage and late arrivals
For a late arrival, check which connection is operating before choosing a route. Prague metro service runs approximately from 5:00 until midnight, and night bus lines 907 and 910 connect the airport with regular fares.
Night bus 910 runs between the airport and the city centre without a transfer, every 30 minutes. The journey from I. P. Pavlova takes 42 minutes.
If you have luggage, consider the transfers between bus or trolleybus stops and metro stations when comparing routes. Check the official site before you go for current fares, service times and departure details. Relevant operators include Prague Public Transit Company (DPP), Prague Integrated Transport (PID), České dráhy and Prague City Tourism.
Getting from the hotel to the airport
For public transport in the reverse direction, use the airport-bound connections and check the departure information for your chosen route and terminal before you travel.
To plan the return leg, compare the route’s operating hours with your flight schedule and allow for any transfer between services. Airport Express has its own fare and timetable, while lines 59, 100 and the night buses use regular Prague public-transport fares.
