Travel directions

Overview

Prague has an excellent and fairly inexpensive public transportation system that is rather intuitive to understand. Tickets and fares: A single ticket (32 CZK) covers all means of transportation in the whole area of Prague (except the Airport Express bus) and is valid for 90 min from the time of validation. Tickets are available at the airport, at railway stations, at all metro stations, and at some tram/bus stops (counters or orange ticket machines). Průhonice is a few kilometers outside of the Prague city limits and needs an additional ticket (12 CZK) which can be bought in the bus (the driver needs to see the used ticket for Prague city, because the tariff zones are overlapping).

Taxis are readily available; prices are comparable to those in other European countries. We recommend companies AAA (phone [+420] 14014) or City Taxi (phone [+420] 257257257) which have the best reputation. These are also present at the airport in front of the terminals. A ride from the airport to Průhonice takes about 45-60 min depending on the traffic situation.

By airplane to Prague Airport (PRG)

Several airlines offer direct flights to Prague (including overseas). There are also some low cost airlines that connect to particular European cities.

From Prague Airport to Průhonice by public transport:

• Bus 119 (in front of the terminals, every 5-10 min, about a 25 min ride) to 'Dejvická' (terminus, entry to green metro line A)
• Metro A to 'Muzeum' (every 4 min, a 7 min ride, 5th stop)
• Transfer to the red metro line C
• Metro C to 'Opatov' (last but one station in direction to 'Háje', every 3 min, about a 16 min ride)
• In Opatov, follow the signs to Průhonice. Bus lines 363 or 385 to Průhonice (see timetable) leave at the end of the platform (every 15-30 min, a 15 min ride). Get off at bus stop 'Průhonice' (at a small square, one stop after 'Průhonice, Hole', see maps).

General information how to get to and from Prague Airport can be found here. Please note that this refers only to getting to downtown Prague, which is only about half the distance to Průhonice. You can download a Prague city map with an overview of the public transportation system here.
