HOW TO GET TO UHERSKÉ HRADIŠTĚ?

TRAVELING VIA PRAGUE HOW TO GET FROM PRAGUE AIRPORT TO MAIN RAILWAY STATION (HLAVNÍ NÁDRAŽÍ): The best way of getting to the Main Railway Station is to take the Airport Express bus, which leaves approximately every 30 minutes from bus stops in front of the terminals. You can purchase a ticket online (cd.cz) or buy it at the DPP (Prague Public Transit Company) counter at the airport, or Visitor centre in the Arrivals hall. Please request the AE ticket specifically, as normal public transport tickets are not valid on AE. The basic ticket costs 44 Kč, but you can buy it for 11 Kč if you have an ISIC card.

The journey should take about 40 minutes.

HOW TO GET FROM PRAGUE AIRPORT TO FLORENC BUS STATION: To get to Florenc from Prague airport, it is best for you to take bus 100 to Zličín and take the underground line B from there straight to Florenc. If bus 100 does not suit your travel timetable well, you can take bus 119 to Veleslavín. From Veleslavín you can get to Florenc by underground trains, you take lane A from Veleslavín and switch to line B on Můstek.
