Directions and Local Transportation

Upon arrival at Prague Ruzyne Airport:

You can use one of the following means of transportation

Airport cabs (these are taxi's that can only be found at the airport) operated by a private company are parked outside the arrival hall and are clearly marked with VISA signs on the sides. These will charge between 350 CZK and 850 CZK depending on what part of the city you travel to. The way to the Diplomat hotel will cost 500 CZK. As with other similar services there are good drivers and bad drivers and we would recommend this service only to people prepared to pay over the odds for the transfer to the centre.
We recommend to use CEDAZ shuttle van which runs every 30 minutes from 06:00 to 21:00 between the airport and metro (DEJVICKA) for 60 CZK. This stop is located just in fron of the Diplomat hotel. It takes about 30 minutes and the van is comfortable. Tickets are available on board. CEDAZ company also provides door-to-door service for 1-4 persons for a fixed price of 480 CZK for one way into the city centre. The CEDAZ stand is located just in front of the Airport arrival hall.

CITY Transport Authority runs bus No 119 (approx every 15 minutes from

4:30 am to 11:30 pm) between the airport and metro station DEJVICKA, where is the Diplomat hotel located (119 - LETISTE RUZYNE (Ruzyne Airport BUS STOP) - U HANGARU - NA PADESATNIKU - SPRAVA LETIST (TERMINÁL JIH) - K LETISTI - DEDINA - DIVOKA SARKA - SIDLISTE CERVENY VRCH (back) - HOROMERICKA (forth) - DEJVICKA (Metro station) green line - it takes about 20 minutes). Don't forget to buy a 20 CZK ticket from the news-stand or from the yellow machine at the airport. You should also buy and validate a 14 CZK ticket for any suitcase.
