Václav Havel Airport Prague ground transport
Václav Havel Airport Prague is the Czech Republic's busiest, about 12 km west of the centre in Ruzyně — and it has no train or metro station of its own. The public backbone is the air-conditioned trolleybus 59 (which replaced bus 119) to Nádraží Veleslavín on metro line A, or bus 100 to Zličín on line B, both on one 90-minute DPP ticket (€2) that also covers the metro transfer. The direct Airport Express (AE) coach runs to the Main Station for €8, and Uber/Bolt and pre-booked transfers cover the door-to-door trips. This guide compares price, time and frequency for every popular destination.

Step-free access in Prague
Prague has no rail link to the airport, so everything starts with a bus — and the buses are the accessible part.
- The airport services are low-floor, so boarding is step-free. Trolleybus 59 (which replaced bus 119 in March 2024) runs to Nadrazi Veleslavin on metro line A; bus 100 runs to Zlicin on line B.
- Both of those metro stations are wheelchair accessible and have lifts, so the bus-to-metro transfer works without steps.
- Most city buses in Prague are low-floor and take wheelchairs and pushchairs.
Note that not every metro station in the centre has a lift, so check your destination station rather than assuming the whole network matches the airport route.
