Prague Airport Transfer (PRG)

Prague Václav Havel Airport (IATA: PRG) is the Czech Republic's international gateway and one of Central Europe's busiest airports. It is 17 kilometres northwest of the Old Town, with no metro connection — the gap that makes private transfers particularly useful here. Bus to metro then metro to the centre takes 40–55 minutes with a change; a private transfer is 25–40 minutes door-to-door. A LocalsRide driver meets you in the arrivals hall with your name sign at a price confirmed before you boarded.
