Where each one leaves you
bus · DPP, on a PID ticketBus 100 and metro B
From
Stops "Terminál 1" and "Terminál 2", outside the arrivals halls
To
Zličín in 18 minutes, then metro B: Anděl in 16 to 18 more, Můstek in 20 to 22, Náměstí Republiky in 22 to 24
Luggage
The same rule as the trolleybus: free up to 25 × 45 × 70 cm, a luggage ticket above that. A standard city bus.
Runs
05:36–23:16
Journey
45 min
Ten minutes slower than the trolleybus and metro A to the same ticket price, because the metro leg is longer. It is the right route if you are heading for Anděl, Smíchov or anywhere on the western half of metro B.
The 90-minute ticket, not the 30-minute one, and stamped once at the airport stop before boarding.
It starts later than the trolleybus: 05:40 on weekdays, 05:36 at weekends.
shuttle · DPP, on its own fareAirport Express (AE)
From
Terminal 1 only, directly outside the arrivals hall — toward the city it does not call at Terminal 2
To
Hlavní nádraží, the main station, at a temporary stop in Opletalova street; the night trips also set down at Náměstí Republiky
Luggage
Free; a coach with luggage space, and the tariff lists hand luggage up to 90 × 60 × 40 cm as carried free.
Runs
All night
Journey
30–47 min
The express takes 47 minutes on weekday daytime runs (37 early/late, 34 late evening, 30 at night) — no faster than the trolleybus-and-metro's roughly 35 minutes, for four times the price.
Nothing you already hold works on it: not a 24- or 72-hour ticket, not a pass, not an SMS ticket. Children under 15 pay CZK 100 here and nothing on the ordinary network.
It runs all night, hourly: 00:37, 01:37, 02:37 and 03:37 from Terminal 1, then 04:35 and 05:35, then every 20 to 30 minutes by day. The longest wait is the 62 minutes between 23:35 and 00:37.
At the main station its stops are in Opletalova street, about 50 metres past the Jeruzalémská junction, until the Wilsonova roadworks end — expected November 2026. The airport's page still describes the old stop outside the Fanta building.
The night departures set down at Náměstí Republiky 20 minutes out, where the night trams meet; the daytime ones run non-stop.
Boarding is through the front door only; buy from the driver if you have no ticket.
The timetable in force is dated 31 August to 4 October 2026; a new one applies from 5 October.
