Hi we are arriving in Prague later this month - in most cities we like to take public transport from the airport - could anyone please help with the best ways from airport to Sporkova Lesser Town (hotel Appia) by bus please. Thanks everyone!

hi,
bus 119 leaves from the airport every 10 minutes and takes you to devicka where you can change for another bus/tram/metro to just about anywhere in prague. 3 and 7 day tickets are available in the arrivals hall and represent great value.
|||
Just came back from a trip there. At the arrival hall there is indeed a public transit booth, where you can buy those single-ride, 24hr or multi-day tickets (220 crowns ie ~$10 for 3 days-and that includes luggage; for single use ticket you need to get separate ticket for your bag) for public transit. Person in the public transit booth at the airport does speak english and will explain how you can get to where you need to go. But she refused to take 1000 crown note as too large (~$50)- and that is what you usuallly get from the ATM there). Buses, trams and subway metro are clean, frequent and comfortable. Taxi may be much more expensive (easily $30 equivalent or more) and may be stuck in traffic in the city...

would recommend the travel pass. you can hop on and off whevere you like then..
• Short-term (tourist) passes
24-hour pass: 80 Kč
3-day pass: 220 Kč
7-day pass: 280 Kč
15-day pass: 320 Kč
Covers tram/metro bus throughout the city
|||
if you have got any luggage apart from a simple wheely, I would take a taxi - you need to get on a tram after taking a bus and then the metro and then either drag your suitcase up a steep hill on a cobbled street or carry it down steps from the top of the hill

im 50 my travel companion 65 and we stayed 9 nights and used public transport all the time we were there never took taxis we rec erched our hotel and found it easyand got about every day on the easy to use transport with very cheap tickets and please beware the police do patrol the city looking for people without tickets on the spot fines
|||
Interestingly we too have always used the trams and metro a lot whilst in Prague but have never seen any ticket inspections . I have always sensed that most people ride on trams without tickets as there seems to be few places to buy them and you seldom see tickets being validated. I am not sure how much the fines are but I don%26#39;t think they are excessive
|||
one of the reasons why you don%26#39;t see many locals validating tickets is that nearly all locals which do ride legally have monthly, quartlerly or annual season tickets, which give very generous savings.
Tram tickets are sold in nearly all tabacco kiosks and shops as well as in metro stations
fines for not having a validated ticket should be 500 crowns.
the ticket inspectors tend to operate more on the metros than on the trams (as on the trams in peak time, they can%26#39;t walk down the carriage - on the metros they tend to stand at the top of the escaltors, especially at the museum green / red line interchange)

We used the Cedaz van line from the airport to the hotel - intermediate in cost, convenient, right to the hotel The vans are small, hard to be more than third dropoff even if you are last. Might be a nice compromise.

we bought a weeks transport ticket and on the day we went to airport we bought a 90 min ticket which cost 50 p and that got us all the way to airport hows that for value
