Fast & Cheap: From Prague Airport to the City Centre for just 1.2 EUR (2025 Honest Guide)

Well, hello there! My name is Janek

and I will be your Prague guide.

We're at the Prague airport, Vaclav Havel airport

and on this episode we're going to show you

how to get from the airport to the city center of Prague.

Most likely you will arrive at Terminal 2 here in Prague.

The situation is roughly the same as the Terminal 1,

which is really close by walkable distance.

From here, you have couple choices how to get to the city center of Prague

The first obvious one would be to take taxi or an uber or some other app,

which would cost you between 15 or 20 Euros.

But we think you should take the public transport

because it's fast, cheap, reliable, and only costs like 1.5 Euros!

I set the price in Euros but in Czech republic we use Czech crowns

so the price for the ticket to go to the city center

is 32 Czech crowns.

You don't have any Czech crowns,

so you got to exchange them at the exchange office

or get them out of an ATM.

Don't do that! That's a big rip-off.

At the airport, you can just go

to the machine to buy the ticket there with your card.

Buying a ticket here is super simple.

You hit the English flag.

Buy tickets.

You select you want it for 90 minutes, which is 32 crowns.

You can even buy a full day or a three day ticket.

And you pay with card, and that's it!

And you just tap your card right here.

Now, we have our ticket!

But there's a common mistake among tourists in Prague.

They sometimes forget to validate the ticket.

And you do that on the bus.

There's a machine-

you put the ticket as the arrow shows,

it does a click, and it prints the time on the ticket.

And since then, your 90 minutes are running.

Really, don't skip buying the ticket
