In 2026, the backbone of airport transport is a modernized network offering excellent value for money.- Trolleybus line 59 (from Nádraží Veleslavín – Metro A): Currently the most popular option. Operated by high-capacity articulated vehicles with low-floor access and USB charging ports.
- Price: 46 CZK (via PID Lítačka app) / 50 CZK (paper ticket).

🚖 Taxi & Private Transfers (Door-to-door)

- Fixed price: Unlike standard taxis, you know the price in advance. No extra charges for traffic delays.
- Minivans for groups: For families or groups up to 7 people, one larger vehicle is often cheaper than ordering multiple Uber cars.
