Prague travel guides
How to get from Prague to the places you actually want to go — every option compared honestly, with current prices and journey times. Including the ones we don't sell.
Getting around
How to get from Prague Airport to the city centre
Travelling light, on a budget, and landing during the day? Take bus 119 to Nádraží Veleslavín and change to metro line A — about 40 minutes and 50 CZK (roughly €2). Two or three of you with suitcases? An Uber or Bolt runs about €20–25 door to door and is usually the best value in Prague. A pre-booked private transfer makes sense mainly for families, groups of four or more, late-night arrivals, or anyone who wants a named driver waiting in arrivals at a price fixed before they fly.

How to get from Prague to Český Krumlov
For most independent travellers the bus is the answer: RegioJet, FlixBus and Leo Express all run it in around 2 hours 40 minutes for roughly €13–22, several times a day, and they drop you a short walk from the old town. The train is slower and only has one useful direct service a day. Go by car — private transfer or a day trip with a driver — if you are three or four people, if you want to stop at Hluboká Castle or a South Bohemian village on the way, or if you are returning to Prague the same evening and don't want the last bus dictating your day.

How to get from Prague to Vienna
For one or two people, take the train. ÖBB Railjet and RegioJet both run city centre to city centre in about four hours, advance fares start around €15, and there are services through the day. Flying makes no sense over this distance once you count airports. A private car is worth the considerable extra cost in three cases: you are three or four people with real luggage, you want to break the journey in Mikulov or Český Krumlov and turn a transfer into a day out, or you need door-to-door at a time the timetable doesn't offer.

How to get from Prague to Kutná Hora and the Bone Church
Take the train unless you have a reason not to. Direct services leave Prague's main station roughly hourly, take about an hour, and cost around 100–130 CZK (€4–5) each way — this is a cheap and genuinely easy trip. The thing to plan for is the arrival: Kutná Hora hlavní nádraží sits in the Sedlec suburb about two kilometres outside town, a ten-minute walk from the Ossuary but nowhere near St Barbara's Cathedral. A car makes sense mainly if you are short on time, travelling with people who don't walk far, or want to combine Kutná Hora with somewhere else in one day.

Cruise transfers
How to get from Prague to Passau, Vilshofen and the Danube cruise ports
Check first whether your cruise line already includes the transfer — Viking, AmaWaterways, Avalon and Uniworld usually offer a coach from Prague as part of a pre-cruise extension, and if it is bundled, take it. If you are travelling independently, be aware that the public transport here is genuinely weak: there is no direct train from Prague to Passau (about six hours with changes, €70–140) and only one direct FlixBus a day, around four hours for €14–35. Vilshofen has no practical rail option at all. For a fixed sailing time with luggage, a pre-booked private car — three to three and a half hours door to ship, from €319–359 for the whole car depending on the port — is the option that removes the risk, which is why most independent cruise passengers end up taking one.
