The best would be by a taxi - be prepared to pay about £20.

The cheapest would be by public transport. Less than £1.

You would need to take a bus number 119 to its terminal station at Dejvicka, then metro for 6 stops to Namesti Miru. As you get out of the metro and look down the square (sloping) you need to take a road at the bottom left corner of the square (Belgicka), walk down and take 3rd turning on the right to Jana Masaryka. Your hotel is few metres down the road.

Look at this website and put Jana Masaryka Praha in the search box (you need to use the Czech expressions) and you will see where it is.

What is best for you? Cheap or quick?

Maybe a cheap and quick transfer? :)

Well as Penny suggests you can take the bus that takes you to the metro station Hradcanska, then catch up the metro. Total expenses about 52 CZK.

...or, you can ask your hotel to arrange a taxi for you since almost all lodgings have contractual taxi drivers with whom they co-operate. The cost is around 400-650 CZK one way per cab. This price is a little higher than it might be through this

due to the contractual taxi drivers paying commissions to the hotel for recommendation.

Dejvicka, not Hradcanska

sorry, mea culpa, Dejvicka

Thanks for that, the bus doesen%26#39;t sound too complicated.

From research done to date I guess I buy a bus ticket on the bus and a metro ticket at the metro station? 24 hour ticket or just that actual fare? I am around for 2 full days afterwards so I assume 24 hour ticket is best the following morning

Is it the same in reverse when I go back? especially the bus and will Sundays make a difference to buses running?

Thanks

Newquygreen - please read my inside pages re Prague Public Transport.

You must buy your tickets at the arrival hall in the Public Transport Kiosk (opened till 10.30 p.m.)

You can buy as many tickets as you want and they will become valid only when you validate them on the bus/tram/metro.( a kind of stamping machine)

For your trip from the airport to Namesti Miru you will need a 26 Czech Crowns ticket per person. But for your other trips to the town centre, it will be enough to buy 18 Czech Crown tickets.

You could buy a day ticket for 100Czech Crowns, but may not be worthwhile for you.

Newquaygreen,

Another option is a Cedaz minibus. Door to door.

They have a kiosk on the right as you approach the airport exit doors ...close to the ATM machines.

The service is speedy and efficient for 480 CZK (or less if you purchase a round trip ticket).

Hello Martha - that%26#39;s a very helpful advice, I thought that Minibus cedaz only goes to V Celnici.

Can you be more specific about this route. Did you say door to door anywhere in Prague?

Yes Penny door to door if you go to their ticket office you can book and pay for reduced return transfer to pick you up at your hotel,very good service or you can book it all on line,
