In-Depth Information
If you're heading to the southwestern part of the city, take bus 100, which
goes to the Zličín metro station (line B). There's also an Airport Express bus
(50Kč, 35 minutes, every 30 minutes, 5am to 10pm) which runs to Praha hlavní
nádraží (main train station), where you can connect to metro line C (buy ticket
from driver, luggage goes free).
Alternatively, take a Cedaz ( 220 116 758; www.cedaz.cz ; 7.30am-7pm)
minibus from outside either arrival terminal to the Czech Airlines office near
náměstí Republiky (130Kč, 20 minutes, every 30 minutes, 7.30am to 7pm); buy
a ticket from the driver. The minibus service also runs in the opposite direction
for returning to the airport.
AAA Radio Taxi ( 222 333 222, 14014; www.aaataxi.cz ) operates a 24-hour
taxi service, charging around 500Kč to 650Kč to get to the centre of Prague.
You'll find taxi stands outside both arrivals terminals. Drivers usually speak some
English and accept credit cards.
Negotiating the Main Station
Prague's main station, Praha hlavní nádraží (Main Train Station; 840 112 113;
www.cd.cz ; Wilsonova 8, Nové Město) , is a cacophonous space that's in the midst
of a long-overdue, multi-year renovation. On arrival, take the underpass from
the platforms to the busy main concourse, where you'll find shops, restaurants
and ATMs, as well as a branch of the tourist information office, Prague Wel-
come ( 221 714 444; www.praguewelcome.cz ; Wilsonova 8 , Nové Město;
10am-6pm Mon-Sat; Hlavní Nádraží) , a 24-hour left-luggage office (úschovna; per
bag per day 15Kč or 30Kč) and luggage lockers (60Kč) that accept 5Kč, 10Kč and
20Kč coins.
Wenceslas Square is a 10-minute walk south of the station; alternatively
take metro line C one stop (direction Háje) to Muzeum. Public-transport tick-
ets are available at ticketing machines (have coins ready) or at newspaper
kiosks in the station. There are taxi ranks at either end of the concourse. To
find the nearest tram stop (for trams 5, 9 and 26), exit the main concourse and
turn right; the stop is at the far end of the park.
