Ruzyne Prague International Airport (PRG)

On my recent trip to Prague, I flew into Prague Ruzyne airport, which is a lot bigger than I imagined it would be. I had visions of a small eastern European airport with very little shops or facilities, but I was very wrong. When I landed at the Ruzyne airport, I discovered that it was a large airport, with many planes lined up next to the departure lounges. It was probably a 5 minute walk to passport control and then another 5 minutes to the baggage claims area. Within a few minutes my bag was amazingly the first to appear on the conveyor belt. Now that I had my bag, I looked for the exit, which was well signed and headed out of the airport. The ...  Read the complete review

Ruzyne is the airport that you will fly into if you are going to visit Prague (one of my favourite cities!). I flew into Prague with easyjet so I know that they use this airport. Ruzyne is close to the city centre, and it is easy to get to the centre from there- I took a transfer when I arrived in Prague, and feeling more confident when I left, just took a bus.

So having decided not to go out, we were faced with several hours in the ...  Read the complete review

It's been quite a while since I passed through Prague's Ruzyne airport. I went to Prague in 1996. I'm sure the airport has changed a bit since then. But I was impressed at the time so I felt I'd just like to give the airport a thumbs up on dooyoo. Feel free to add your comments! I'm sure some of you out there have been there more recently and can give a more up to date report. The airport is located in the Ruzyne district, approximately 12km from the city centre. There is very good local transport to get to and from the airport. There are local taxis but we found the best way into the city was on the bus services. Cedaz buses run ...  Read the complete review
