Transport between the airport / train station and the hotel
Taxi
The official taxi service of Prague Airport is Uber. The fastest way of booking is via the Uber application, which shows you where you are going and how much you will pay for the ride. You will have everything handy on your phone. Payments are accepted in cash or by card which you connect to the application. Select the Uber Airport product from the menu and you are good to go.
You can also use self-service kiosks with a similar user interface as in the application. With this option, payments are only possible by card through the terminal. After a payment is completed, you will get a receipt with all the necessary information for your ride. Printed instructions for booking a ride can also be found on the kiosk right next to the monitor.
If you need help with your order, a counter with staff is at each terminal. At the counter, they will tell you all the necessary information and help you order a taxi. There you can pay by card or cash.

General Information About Public Transport
For local public transport, passengers are required to buy tickets before getting on a bus, tram and/or metro. The Prague Public Transit Company (Dopravní podnik hlavního města Prahy) operates information offices at the airport (in the arrivals hall of both terminals) where tickets may be purchased. This option is highly recommended.
For the journey from the airport/train station always purchase a 90-minute ticket.
Ticket machines are also located at the tram/bus stops. It is necessary to validate your ticket as soon as you get on the bus or tram or before entering the metro transport area. More information about the fare pricelist is available here: https://www.dpp.cz/en/fares/fare-pricelist.
For easier orientation, we recommend downloading a PID mobile app in English (for tickets purchase, connection, transfers etc.): https://pid.cz/en/travel-information/pid-mobile-app/. Since January 2026, tickets purchased via the app are cheaper than SMS or paper tickets.
