About Prague

Prague (Praha) is the ancient capital of Charles IV's Bohemian Kingdom. The River Vltava splits this wonderful city into two halves while Charles Bridge links them together. Prague Castle and the Little Quarter are situated on one side, and the Old and New Towns and the Jewish Quarter on the other.

Getting there and around

Timetables are available at the airport information office in the main hall.

Bus and Tram
Bus No 100 will take you from the airport to Zlièín – the underground terminal stop of the yellow line (B) that leads to the town centre (Mùstek station). Catch night bus No 510 (between midnight and 3.30) to the tram-bound at Divoká Šárka, then go by tram No 51 to Dejvická metro station or further to the city centre (Námìstí Republiky, Wenceslas Square).

Taxi
Before entering the car, check the price with the driver. 

By train
Domestic services are provided by ÈD (Czech Railways). There are a number of daily connections to Prague from major European cities.

Train Stations: Hlavní nádraží is the biggest and busiest railway station in Prague. Other train stations in Prague: Masarykovo nádraží, Holešovice Station, Smíchov Station.

A supplement for fast express trains (rychlík) has to be paid. It is possible to buy plain tickets (jízdenka) or tickets with reservation (místenka) for a seat, couchette or sleeper. Information on rail connections are available on Tel: 02 / 242 242 00.
 
By car
Most foreign driving licences are honoured, Australian and New Zealand drivers should get an International Driving Licence.
If entering the Czech Republic by car you will need:
a valid driving licence, a vehicle registration card, a hire certification, Green Card (an international motoring certificate for insurance), a highway sticker (can be purchased at the border).

It is very difficult to find a suitable parking place and break-ins are very common. Only residents having a parking card can park their cars in the central area of Prague. If you happen to visit Prague by car, the best places to leave your car are guarded parking lots, especially the underground ones. New or expensive cars are vulnerable to break-ins, so do not leave anything valuable inside the car visible from outside, including car radios. 

By bus
The city main bus terminal is Florenc situated on the eastern edge of the New Town easily accessible by tube (yellow line B and red line C) and trams. The majority of internal coaches are run by ÈSAD. Numerous international coach services are run by Bohemia Euroexpress International (Køižíkova 4-6, Prague 8 - Florenc, Tel: 02 24814450, 24218680).

Generally, coach travel is cheap but long distance travelling can be uncomfortable and slower than going by train or plane. To make sure you get a seat it is advisable to obtain your tickets in advance.
