How to get from Prague Airport to City Centre
There are several options available when travelling from Prague airport, officially called Václav Havel Airport Prague (PRG), to the city centre of Prague: Public Transport (Bus + Metro) and Taxi (Private transfers, Uber etc.). The most conveneint way is taking the Prague Airport Transport. The ride to the city centre of Prague costs 29EUR or 730CZK and it takes maximum 30 minutes. Cheaper alternative is the bus, however you have to change for the Metro in the middle of the way in order to get to the City Centre, but it would cost you only 32CZK (about 1.3EUR) per person and the journey takes just under an hour.
Getting from Prague Airport to City Centre

We offer a ''fair fixed price'' of 750 CZK for a single trip between the Prague Airport and the City centre for up to 4 passengers in a saloon car and 990 CZK for a minibus for up to 8 passengers.
2. Uber / Bolt
Another option of getting a car in Prague is to use the Uber or Bolt app. You pay around 80CZK less for Uber (prices vary according to the demand and go significantly up during rush hours), however most of the cars I have tried are small, low end and sometimes dated vehicles and most importantly, Uber ''drivers'' are not drivers and they have no clue where they going.
