'From the airport the distance to the city centre is about 17 km (11 miles). Transportation to and from the airport to the city centre can be done by using one of the designated taxi services which serve the airport. These have a fixed price and the journey time should be no more than 20 to 25 minutes. However at times the route can be very busy and lengthen the journey time significantly.

The Prague public transport system runs a very regular service to the metro and also to the main train station. Using this method to get to or from the airport may take approximately 50 to 55 min. The fastest connections to the city centre (Wenceslas Square) would be to take Bus 100 from the airport to metro station Zlicin (about 18 min) and then by metro (from Zlicin) about 25 min to the main central square.
