Situated in the western part of Prague, in the district of Ruzyně, it stands as one of Central Europe's busiest and most pivotal airports. Prague, the Czech Republic's jewel, is a city of spires, winding alleys, and a history that captivates every traveller.

  • Distance to Prague City Center: Vaclav Havel Prague Airport is roughly 15 km from the city center. Via Evropská, it typically takes 20-30 minutes, contingent on traffic.

  • Parking: Prague offers both street parking (paid) and various parking garages. Always adhere to the designated zones and time limits to avoid fines.

  • Charles Bridge & Old Town Square: Located in the heart of the city, these are iconic landmarks not to be missed.
