How to get from Prague Airport to Pilsen

The journey covers around 90 km west of Prague and usually takes about one hour via the D5 motorway, the direct route between Prague and Pilsen. It is the shortest long-distance transfer from Prague Airport, with no border crossings and almost the entire journey on a single motorway, including pick-up at the terminal and drop-off at your exact address in Pilsen.

Thanks to the short journey time, many travellers combine it with a half-day visit before returning to Prague. It is also a convenient first stage for those continuing into Germany, as the D5 motorway extends all the way to the border.

The brewery is the main destination for many travellers

The birthplace of Pilsner beer

Arrive at Pilsner Urquell in time for your tour

The historic Pilsner Urquell Brewery in the Prazdroj district is the main reason many visitors travel to Pilsen. Guided tours finish with a beer tasting straight from the cellars and are booked for specific time slots, so it is best to plan your transfer around your tour rather than the other way round.

If the brewery is your destination, providing your tour time when booking allows your airport pick-up to be scheduled accordingly, ensuring a direct drop-off at the brewery entrance.

Pilsen, the gateway to Bavaria

The D5 motorway continues west from Pilsen to the Rozvadov border crossing and then into Germany towards Nuremberg and Munich. For this reason, some transfers do not end in Pilsen, using the city instead as a stopover or as the Czech section of a journey into Bavaria.

If your final destination is in Germany, the route crosses an internal Schengen border with no routine border checks. Be sure to enter your final destination when making your booking.

Arriving in Pilsen city centre

Republic Square and St Bartholomew's Cathedral

Pilsen's historic centre is centred around Republic Square, dominated by St Bartholomew's Cathedral and its impressive tower, with pedestrian streets surrounding the square. If your accommodation is in this area, your driver will stop at the nearest accessible point, so it is best to provide the full address rather than simply stating "Pilsen city centre".

Vehicles, groups and same-day return journeys

As this is a relatively short journey, many travellers book a return transfer on the same day, visiting either the brewery or the city centre before travelling back to Prague Airport or Prague itself. In these cases, it is advisable to agree your return pick-up time when making your booking.

The number of passengers and the amount of luggage determine the most suitable vehicle. You can view all available options in the Zonetransfers fleet. If you would like the driver to remain at your disposal during your visit or continue onwards into Germany, our car with driver service in Prague is available. Any waiting time or additional stops are subject to our terms of service.
