Private Airport Transfers in Prague

Prague Václav Havel Airport is 17 kilometres northwest of the city centre. The metro does not serve the airport — the closest connection is bus to the Dejvická metro station (30–40 minutes, then onward). For hotel addresses in Old Town (Staré Město), Malá Strana, or Vinohrady, a private transfer of 25–40 minutes is often faster and more practical than two transport changes with luggage. A LocalsRide driver meets you in the terminal arrivals hall with your name sign.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a direct metro from Prague Airport to Old Town?

No — Prague Airport does not have a metro connection. Bus 119 runs to Nádraží Veleslavín (Metro Line A), and Airport Express runs to Prague Hlavní nádraží (main railway station). Both require onward metro or tram connections for hotel addresses. A private transfer is door-to-door without changes.

Can I book a transfer from Prague Airport to Karlovy Vary or Český Krumlov?

Yes — Karlovy Vary is 130 kilometres west (90–110 minutes via the D6). Český Krumlov is 180 kilometres south (2–2.5 hours via the D3 and D4). Both are popular day-trip and point-to-point destinations from PRG.
