Where each one leaves you
bus · DPP, on a PID ticketTrolleybus 59 and metro A
From
Stops "Terminál 1" and "Terminál 2", outside the arrivals halls; the ticket validators are on the platform
To
Nádraží Veleslavín in 17 minutes, then metro A: Staroměstská in 8 more, Můstek in 9 to 10, Muzeum in 11
Luggage
Free up to 25 × 45 × 70 cm; a larger bag needs a luggage ticket (CZK 25, or 23 in the app) with a 30- or 90-minute fare, and travels free with a 24- or 72-hour ticket. The 24-metre trolleybuses have a baggage area; the metro does not.
Runs
04:22–23:32
Journey
35 min

Buy the 90-minute ticket, not the 30-minute one: 17 minutes on the trolleybus plus nine or ten on the metro, plus the change, does not fit in 30.

Stamp a paper ticket once, at the airport stop before boarding — the validators are on the platform, not on the vehicle. An app ticket must be activated at least 60 seconds before you board.

Tickets: machines at the stops (cards accepted), the DPP info centres in both arrivals halls (daily 07:00–21:00), contactless terminals on board, or the PID Lítačka app.

A checked-size suitcase is over the free limit and needs a CZK 25 luggage ticket; PID's airport page says CZK 20. Either way it is the same time validity as your own ticket.

It was bus 119 until 6 March 2024, when the trolleybuses took over; older guides still say 119.

Change at Nádraží Veleslavín, the trolleybus terminus: the metro is beneath the same forecourt.

It is the cheapest thing leaving the airport between the last trolleybus at 23:32 and the first at 04:22, and until 01:05 it is the only ordinary-fare service.

It ends in the New Town, not at the main station or the Old Town: I. P. Pavlova is a ten-minute walk from Wenceslas Square. For Náměstí Republiky or Hlavní nádraží wait for the 907, or pay CZK 200 for the express.

Buy and stamp the ticket at the airport stop before boarding, as by day; the machines and the on-board terminals work at night.
