Entry Visas: The requirements for entry visas were changed at
the end of 2003. The most up-to-date information is available

By air: Ruzyne, Prague’s
airport, is situated 10km northwest of the city and is where all international
flights arrive in and depart
from. The cheapest way to get to the city is by buses which
leave every 10-15 minutes. These buses take you either to the Dejvická metro
station (Line A) or Nove Butovice station (Line B). An express minibus
going
to the same station leaves every 30 minutes and is a bit
more expensive than public trasport.
Taxis:Taxi
prices in Prague are not regulated. Cab drivers can charge
whatever they like, as long as they post their price-per-kilometer, usually
on the door.
It's a good idea to agree on a price with the driver
before committing to the ride. As in many big cities, cab drivers sometimes
prey on foreigners
who are unfamiliar with the language or currency. Whenever
possible it's better to call for a taxi in advance. An approximate price
for the ride
can be provided over the phone by the dispatcher. Two
usually reliable companies whose dispatchers speak English are AAA Taxi
(Tel: 10 80) and
ProfiTaxi (Tel: 2213 5555). These companies also charge
less than the Airport taxi service for the way from the airport.
By train: Trains coming in from
the west of the country set down in Praha Hlavni nadrazi
(Main Station) at Nové Mesto in the city centre. Express trains passing
through Prague stop off at Praha-Holesovice on the north side of
the city centre, which
is the last station of the metro (Line C).
By bus: If you travel to Prague on a bus you will finally
reach your destination when you get to Praha-Florenc, the main bus
station
on the east side of Nové Město (City Centre).
