Getting from Prague´s airport
If you are heading for the Prague Main Railway Station (Praha hlavni nadrazi) for a train connection, we recommend you to use the special airport bus which provides a direct connection from 5:30 to 22:30 in 30 minutes intervals. Look for the Airport Express (AE). Special tickets are needed and should be purchased from the driver. The main railway station is the last stop on the route, and bus stops in front of the main hall. More information about AE here.
