Getting to Prague
- By Plane:
- we recommend to take bus 100, which takes you to Metro Zličín, yellow line B, or bus 119, which takes you to Metro Dejvická, green line A. With both lines you get easily and faster to the center. It's faster and cheaper than to take a cab mainly thanks to the traffic. You have to buy the ticket for Public transport - 32 CZK for 90 mins or for 24 CZK for 30 mins. There is Info centre where you can buy the tickets at the Arrivals at both Terminals. More info about Public transport and fares, please, read bellow.
- By train or coach:
- it will be easy for you too as there is always Metro station nearby to get where you want
- By car:
- make sure your hotel or hostel has parking, if not, check out if the hotel is not situated in paid parking zone (centre)

Money Exchange Recommendation
The official currency of the Czech Republic is the Czech crown (koruna), abbreviated as Kč, with the international abbreviation CZK. 1 crown consists of 100 hellers (haléř), abbreviated as hal. Heller coins have not been in use as of 1st September 2008, but hellers are still incorporated into merchandise prices. The final price is always rounded off to the nearest crown value.
The approx value of 100 CZK is 4 EUR/6 USD.
Coins: 1 Kč, 2 Kč, 5 Kč, 10 Kč, 20 Kč, 50 Kč
Banknotes: 100 Kč, 200 Kč, 500 Kč, 1000 Kč, 2000 Kč, 5000 Kč
As the official currency, the Czech crown is the best and often the only possible currency to use when paying. Although the Czech Republic is part of the European Union, the euro is not widely accepted here yet. Some stores, restaurants and hotels accept payments in euros but the exchange rate may not be very good.
