Prague: Getting There, Getting Around
Arriving in Prague Praha Ruzyne Airport
is located about 12 miles from the city although travelers should
budget half an hour to 50 minutes for the trip. Express minibus
shuttles as well as taxis and bus service connects the airport
to the city center. The cost for a taxi from the airport to city
center is about US$15. We arrived at the
main train station in Prague which has good connections to major
European cities. Be prepared for a hectic atmosphere in the train
station; departing passengers are met by a sea of hotel touts
offering to show you rooms throughout the city. Getting
Around We suggest walking
for the best view of Prague and to get a real feel for the city.
Many attractions are in easy walking distance from each other.
One of Europes best-preserved cities, Prague invites exploration
by foot. As much as specific sights, the city is an attraction
in itself with its winding streets, ancient buildings and picturesque
bridges along the Vltava River. Prague also has an extensive public transit system, the Metro. The network consist of three lines running from the Dejvicka station, Zlicin station, and Muzeum. The Metro operates from 5 a.m. to midnight, running every two or three minutes during peak rush hours and four to 10 minutes at other times. You'll also find an extensive taxi network. Be sure to get a sanctioned taxi (look for the yellow rooflight). If possible, have your hotel call for one of their taxis for you; the city is notorious for taxi scams.
