About Prague

Prague is the capital of Czechia and home to about 1.4 million people, set on a bend of the Vltava river that gave the city the medieval name “Praha”. The Old Town Square, Charles Bridge and the 9th-century Prague Castle complex form a UNESCO World Heritage core that survived the Second World War with little damage, leaving roughly 1,400 years of architecture standing side by side. The wider city stretches across ten administrative districts and remains compact enough to cross on foot in an afternoon.

Getting around

Prague Integrated Transport runs three metro lines, 25 tram routes and a dense bus network on a single ticket, with a 90-minute pass at CZK 40 and a 24-hour pass at CZK 120. Trams 22 and 23 climb to the castle, and the metro is the quickest way between Wenceslas Square and the main rail station. There is no direct metro from PRG, so road transfers cover the airport-to-centre leg. Pre-booked drivers handle the fare in advance, which avoids meter disputes.

Best time to visit

April to June and September to October combine 15 to 24 degree afternoons with lower hotel rates than peak summer, and the parks at Petrin and Letna are at their greenest. July and August are warm and busy, with daily highs around 25 degrees and queues at the Astronomical Clock. December brings Christmas markets at Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square, with night temperatures dropping below zero and a chance of snow on the castle roofs.

Transferring from Prague’s airports

Prague is served by a single commercial airport, Vaclav Havel (PRG), with two passenger terminals: Terminal 1 for non-Schengen and Terminal 2 for Schengen flights. The D7 expressway feeds the airport from the north, and the Evropska arterial road carries most transfers into the centre. Drivers wait inside arrivals with a sign at the named meeting point, include 60 minutes of free waiting after landing, and bring vehicles licensed under Czech passenger transport rules.
