From: Ken Blake on 9 Mar 2010 20:31 My wife and I will land in the Prague airport in November. We will need to get from there to the Old Town Hilton Hotel. I've read some dire warnings about taxi drivers who cheat their passengers, so I'd appreciate any recommendations as to how we should get transportation to our hotel. -- Ken Blake Please Reply to the Newsgroup

Look for the signs all over the airport. (change Arabic number to Roman numeral to email)

Ken Blake How public transport minded are you? It is a few years (six say) since I was there but public transport was extremely cheap, something like five or six pounds bought a ticket which worked on metro, bus and tram and lasted a week. Tickets were avalable for other durations. The cost of transport for the whole four or five days was less that one taxi ride. There was a booth in the arrivals hall. I asked for the weekly ticket, crossed to the third or so stance from the door, and got the (119 ?) bus to DeviÄka, the end station on line A of the metro. Looking at the metro map you can go five stations to Mustek, change onto line B then Namesti Republica is one station away.The Old Town Hilton is situated between the two exits of the station. Returning it is important to stay on the bus until the last stop, as one of the earlier stops looks as if it could be the terminal. HTH

Get the bus and change to the metro at the end of the line. It's cheap and pretty easy to negotiate. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 <http://www.campin.me.uk> Twitter: JackCampin

I don't recall being cheated on a recent business trip to Prague, in fact I found it a friendly city, but I tended to use the Metro to get everywhere. The bus #119 links the Airport to the underground network via Dejvick� station. Otherwise, you can pay in advance for a taxi, at an official stand in the Arrivals hall, I think the cost was ~500 CZK - about 20 Euros (I think you can even pay in Euros, but my mind is starting to go hazy).
