Prague Ruzyne Airport is located 18km west of the city centre. The easiest, quickest and also a very comfortable way how to get to the center is to use our professional and friendly transfer.

There is also Airport Express No. 100 which ends on Zličín metro station (yellow Line B) but this is farther from the city centre. A typical journey takes about 40 minutes.
