Book a taxi to or from Prague airport
Since Prague is one of the most popular European capitals and many people choose it to stay there all year round, the best choice to reach the center is undoubtedly to book a private taxi service from Prague Airport. Capital of the Czech Republic since January 1st, 1993, the year of its birth, has a population of just over one million inhabitants and covers 500 square kilometers. Its geographical position in the center of Europe makes it an excellent starting point for visiting the surrounding Bohemian region, of which it is also the capital, and numerous other European cities such as Nuremberg, Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest.
What to see in Prague
The Czech capital is an important tourist center, visited by about 6,000,000 people every year. Among the destinations not to be missed, we point out the following:
- the famous Charles Bridge: the symbolic monument of the city, which connects the Old Town to the Small District (in Czech Malà Strana). The bridge, transformed today into a pedestrian area, allowed the passage of four coaches side by side. Many of its statues are actually copies, in fact the originals are kept in the National Museum just to limit the damage of time.
- St. Nicholas Church: divides and dominates the two parts of the square of the Small District.
- the Prague Castle: founded in the ninth century, despite the fires and invasions, it has kept inside churches, chapels, halls and towers representative of all the historical periods crossed.

Prague airport
The Prague International Airport bears the name of Vaclav Havel, a great Czech writer and first president of the Republic. The airport is about 15 km from the city center, precisely in Ruzine. Although small, the airport is modern, clean, valid and functional. Built in 1936, it was modernized in the 1960s and is now equipped with all the facilities and equipment of a modern international airport: 24-hour exchange offices, duty-free shops, restaurants, post offices and luggage storage.
The connections to the city center are varied: the cheapest choice is obviously made by buses, in particular those marked by numbers 100 and 119 that lead directly to the metro stops. Instead, the bus called Airport Express arrives at the most important railway station in Prague, that of Hlavní Nádraží.
Prague Transports
The city center is quite small and most of the monuments and museums can very easily be reached on foot. Nevertheless, the Prague public transport system is quite articulate and consists of metro, city buses and trams, which serve both the centre and the suburbs of the capital.
The metro has 3 lines and reaches 55 stations scattered throughout the city; it runs from 4:00 am to midnight.
City buses marked 100 to 291 are diurnal; instead, the lines from the number 501 to 513 are nocturnal and start their runs starting from 24.00.
Trams operate day and night and reach places inaccessible to buses.
The public taxis in Prague are yellow, and the regular ones carry a flashing light with the writing TAXI in black letters on the roof of the car. However some Prague taxi drivers do not enjoy a good reputation as it seems that they take advantage especially of tourists, charging a higher figure because they have chosen to make a longer itinerary. A problem common to many European capitals is the illegal taxis, without a license, who take advantage of the good faith and inexperience of those arriving in the city especially for the first time.
