SheepieTartanArmy Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 Been emailed by my apartment offering a transfer when I arrive for 600 koruna or 24 euro. Is that a good deal considering I don't arrive into Prague til the back of 10 at night?
wanderer Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 That is about the going rate. As I am getting the train in and flying out on a morning flight the morning after the match, rather than use public transport I booked a transfer with "Prague Trips & Tickets" through "getyourguide" which was £18 (so roughly the same price give or take a couple of quid) but as I had a discount code for "getyourguide" I was able to get £5 off the price (sign up for their email newsletter and wait a week or two as they do have a habit of sending out discount codes every now and again)
scottincarlisle Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 We are using Prague airport transfers. 550 CZK each way for the 3 of us. Used them last time also.
SheepieTartanArmy Posted February 4, 2016 Author Posted February 4, 2016 That's good advice cheers just don't fancy trying to navigate a way into central Prague at that time at night.

wubbs Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 Depends where your accommodation is situated. If it's near a tram or metro stop then public transport is easy, and will take same time as private transfer
Robroysboy Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 Depends where your accommodation is situated. If it's near a tram or metro stop then public transport is easy, and will take same time as private transfer Cheers wubbs. Do the train ticket machines take visa m8?
SheepieTartanArmy Posted February 4, 2016 Author Posted February 4, 2016 Depends where your accommodation is situated. If it's near a tram or metro stop then public transport is easy, and will take same time as private transfer it's just off wencelas square mate think it's near a metro stop
macy37 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Use this company. They are superb. I use them each time and never had any issue at all in fact they have been 100% brilliant. Yank owns it and English speaking drivers with a boy from Reading being a regular driver. http://www.praguetransport.com/index.htm
wubbs Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Cheers wubbs. Do the train ticket machines take visa m8? At the moment it's only coins, but have seen machines in other parts of Czech where you can use contactless payment. Guess it's just a matter of time. There is also a kiosk selling tickets in both airport terminals (which closes around 10 pm) it's just off wencelas square mate think it's near a metro stop Getting off at Mustek metro station will take you to the bottom or middle of Wenceslas Sq, depending on which exit you take. For the top of Wenceslas Sq take the Muzeum metro station. If the ticket kiosk is closed when you land, you'll need coins for the ticket machine, or you can buy a ticket from the driver if you have a 100 or 200 kc note.

I land at 10.20pm so I would imagine they would be closed
wubbs Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Interesting viewing. It's shocking how some drivers exploit tourists. Think the maximum charge is 28 kc per km within city limits.
Tartan Queen Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 For 4 of us we have been quoted 30 euros each way but that is through hotel which is 2 minutes from Old Town Square. We are the same we don't arrive until after 10pm and can't be bothered with public transport at that time of night and we are on the 06.25 am flight back on the Sunday morning so it was easier just to book this through hotel

scottincarlisle Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Ours are 550 CZK each way from airport to Novotel. Think its about £16 each way for the 3 of us.

Got the 2 kids with us so it just makes it easier as we don't get in until after 10 at night and we will need to leave at a stupid o'clock Sunday morning. The driver lives at the hotel so there won't be any problems with him being there on time. We done that the last time we stayed at that hotel with no issues. Hotel just 2 streets back from Old Town Square so no need for buses or trams in the centre as most things are walkable. Probably is a bit dearer but save elsewhere. Apartment works out at £16.50 each per night with brekkie so not too bad

Been on enough trips to know better!! If we didn't have the kids with us we probably would have just used the bus into the centre but can't be bothered with that at that time of night with the 2 of them. Bear this in mind if we ever go back there. Thanks for all your tips guys
scott7 0 Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 for taxi service i suggest. UBER now operates here in Prague. for more reputable taxis: Speedcars, Sedop, AAA, TickTock or Umbrella.
Graham of Montrose Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 I use www.suntransfers.com wherever I go. £30 return from airport to City centre hotel for this one. used them many times and never been let down.
kumnio Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 http://www.taxi-from-prague-airport.co.uk/price.shtml 900 CZK return, that will do us.
