Where each one leaves you
59A · 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.

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.
