From Prague Airport to the City Centre
The quickest public transport is trolleybus 59 to Nádraží Veleslavín, then metro line A: about 35 minutes to the centre in total. Buy a 90-minute ticket before you board: 46 CZK in the PID Lítačka app or 50 CZK on paper. The airport's official taxi is Uber Airport; the Uber app shows the price before you book.
Prague Public Transport: Tickets and Fares
One ticket covers trams, metro and buses for a set time, with unlimited changes. Full fare in 2026: 30 minutes 36 CZK in the PID Lítačka app (39 CZK paper), 90 minutes 46 CZK (50 CZK). Stamp paper tickets once; no valid ticket costs 1,200 CZK on the spot in Prague.
Public Holidays in Prague: What’s Open
On seven public holidays, including 25–26 December and 1 January, shops larger than 200 m² must stay closed; on 24 December they close at noon. Small shops, pharmacies, petrol stations and shops at the airport and main stations may stay open.
Money in Prague: Crowns, Euros and Exchanging Safely
Prague uses the Czech crown (CZK), not the euro. Many shops and restaurants accept euros, but change, especially in shops, comes in crowns. If an exchange office gives you a bad deal, you can cancel the exchange at the same office within three hours (counted only while it is open), for up to €1,000.
