Karlovy Vary
The country's best-known historic spa town, renowned for wellness stays and its international film festival.
Václav Havel Airport is the main gateway to Bohemia. From here, travellers can arrange both the short journey into Prague's historic centre and longer transfers to spa towns, destinations across the Czech Republic, and neighbouring cities in Germany and Austria. This page brings them all together, with each route linking to its own dedicated information.
Václav Havel Airport is around 18 km north-west of Prague city centre, with a journey time of approximately 25 to 40 minutes by car depending on traffic. There is no metro station at the airport, so public transport requires a bus connection to the Metro Line A at Nádraží Veleslavín. A private airport transfer, however, takes you directly from the terminal to your accommodation.
The Czech koruna (CZK) is the country's official currency, as the Czech Republic is not part of the eurozone. This can be useful when calculating tolls or local expenses, although with a fixed-price airport transfer the fare is agreed in advance.
Unlike many airports, arrivals at Prague Airport are assigned according to the origin of the flight rather than the airline. Knowing which terminal you will arrive at helps avoid unnecessary waiting, even though both terminals are only a short walk apart.
Handles intercontinental services and flights arriving from countries outside the Schengen Area, including the United Kingdom and other non-EU destinations. Your driver will meet you in the arrivals hall.
Handles flights within the Schengen Area, including services from Spain. It is connected to Terminal 1 by a pedestrian walkway that takes only a few minutes.
Providing your flight number when booking allows the correct terminal to be assigned and your arrival to be monitored.
Prague's historic centre includes extensive pedestrianised areas around the Old Town Square and Charles Bridge, where vehicles are not permitted. If your accommodation is located within these streets, drop-off is arranged at the nearest accessible point, with the final section completed on foot.
Since 2024, Prague 1 has restricted vehicle access to parts of the Old Town between 22:00 and 06:00. For late-night arrivals in this area, it is advisable to agree a suitable drop-off point outside the restricted zone in advance, as this depends on the exact location of your accommodation.
Prague is an ideal starting point for journeys that extend far beyond the city itself, including Bohemian spa towns, UNESCO-listed Czech destinations and neighbouring capitals. These are the routes with their own dedicated pages, together with the approximate driving times.

Approximate driving times excluding stops and traffic conditions. Each long-distance transfer is planned according to your flight arrival time and exact destination.
A 30-minute transfer into Prague city centre is organised very differently from a journey of several hours to Vienna or Český Krumlov. Luggage requirements, vehicle selection and journey planning all depend on the distance, so it is worth considering these details when booking.
For shorter journeys, the key details are the correct arrival terminal and the nearest accessible drop-off point within the pedestrianised Old Town. The vehicle is selected according to the number of passengers and luggage.
For longer journeys, luggage capacity and comfort become more important. On routes such as Dresden or Vienna, where another country is crossed, it is advisable to specify any planned stops and your exact destination.
The number of passengers and suitcases determines the most suitable vehicle. You can view the available options in the Zonetransfers fleet, and check waiting times and stop policies in the service conditions.
The journey usually takes between 25 and 40 minutes for a distance of around 18 km, depending on traffic. The airport is located north-west of the city, and a private transfer takes you directly to your accommodation.
It depends on where your flight arrives from. Terminal 1 handles non-Schengen flights, while Terminal 2 serves Schengen arrivals, including flights from Spain. Providing your flight number ensures the correct terminal is assigned.
