Helpful Tips
Buy a Lítačka card at any metro station and load it with day or 3-day passes for smooth travel on Prague's metro, trams and buses.
Use PID Lítačka mobile app to buy tickets and validate them digitally before boarding any public transport in Prague.
Airport Express (AE) bus departs from Prague main train station (Hlavní nádraží) every 30 minutes and reaches Václav Havel Airport in about 35 minutes.
Validate your paper ticket immediately in the yellow machines when entering metro stations or upon boarding trams and buses to avoid fines.
Common Scams to Avoid
Unlicensed taxi touts inside the arrivals hall quote inflated flat rates to Prague city center and may claim the meter is broken. Only use the official taxi dispatch counter in the terminal or pre-book through the airport's recommended partners.
Currency-exchange kiosks in the baggage-claim area advertise "0 % commission" but bury a poor exchange rate in the fine print, giving you far fewer koruna than you should receive. Walk past them and use an ATM or exchange downtown where competition is higher.
Baggage-carry assistants in the arrivals zone grab luggage without being asked, wheel it 20 m to the taxi rank, then demand a high fee. Politely decline any unsolicited help and keep hold of your bags.
