How to Get from Prague Airport to City Center
The most affordable and also quite fast option is the T-bus number 59. The T-bus will take you to the green line of the Prague metro, Nádraží Veleslavín station, from where you can get to any part of the city. For example, when you reach Muzeum or Můstek station, you will find yourself in Wenceslas Square.
Prague Public Transport
Most of Prague’s main attractions are located within walking distance of each other, and many of the city’s most beautiful streets and squares are pedestrian zones. So be sure to pack a comfortable pair of shoes and get ready for plenty of walking.
