When departing for Václav Havel Airport Prague (PRG), your journey begins at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD). Most flights on this route depart from Terminal 4, the hub for Iberia, though budget carriers like Ryanair typically use Terminal 1. A free shuttle bus connects all four terminals, taking around 15 minutes between T1 and T4.

To reach the airport from central Madrid, take Metro Line 8 from Nuevos Ministerios or the Cercanías C1 rail line. The Exprés Aeropuerto (Route 203) bus provides a 24-hour service from Atocha station. Facilities at Barajas include dedicated play areas for children, nurseries, and a range of shops and dining options across the terminals.

Flights from Madrid land at Václav Havel Airport Prague, located 17km from the centre. As the Czech Republic is in the Schengen Area, travellers arriving from Spain generally do not face passport control. To reach the city, take Bus 59 to the Nádraží Veleslavín station on metro line A, a journey of about 15 minutes. Alternatively, Bus 100 runs to the Zličín station on metro line B.

For a direct route to the Prague Main Railway Station, use the Airport Express (AE) bus. If you prefer a private hire vehicle or taxi, pick-up points are located directly outside the arrivals halls of Terminal 1 (non-Schengen) and Terminal 2 (Schengen flights).

Prague is defined by its stunning Gothic and Baroque skyline. You can walk across the historic Charles Bridge, explore the sprawling Prague Castle complex, or watch the astronomical clock in the Old Town Square. For a taste of local life, visit the traditional pubs in the Jewish Quarter to sample famous Czech pilsner.
