Getting to the city
Getting into Prague from Ruzyne is straightforward, but the options are not equal. Public buses run from the terminal to the metro, where you change for the centre; they are the simplest way in and the slowest at peak times. Taxis and ride-hailing apps take you door to door — use the official ranks in the arrivals hall and agree the fare or check the meter before you set off. Airport express coaches suit travellers with heavy bags. Allow extra time on weekday mornings and in winter weather, and never accept a lift from a driver who approaches you inside the terminal.
