How to reach the Vila Lanna

From Václav Havel Airport Prague (PRG)

1) Public Transport (Recommended)

This route is reliable, affordable, and frequently used by both locals and visitors.

1. From Terminal 1 or Terminals 2–3, board the trolleybus line 59 (every 3–10 minutes) bound for Nádraží Veleslavín (metro station on Line A).
2. At Nádraží Veleslavín, transfer to green metro Line A and ride for three stops to Hradčanská.
3. From Hradčanská, it’s about 500 m on foot (roughly 6–10 minutes) to reach Vila Lanna.

Total travel time from airport: about 35–40 minutes, including transfer stops;  40 CZK for a 90-minute ticket allowing transfers within the network.

Do not forget to validate your public transport ticket before entering.

2) Taxi

The official taxi service at Prague’s Václav Havel Airport is now operated exclusively by Uber Airport (prg.aero/en/taxi). You can book your ride either via the Uber app, through self‑service kiosks in the arrivals halls, or at staffed service counters. After ordering, your driver will meet you at the designated pick‑up zone immediately outside the terminal. This system ensures transparent, fixed pricing and regulated quality of service—fully managed under the airport’s official agreement with Uber (valid through 2028).

As a reliable alternative, you may also consider Bolt (via their app – bolt.eu/en) or AAA Taxi Airport transfers at aaataxi.cz/en/prague-airport-taxi—both are reputable services with upfront pricing.

For the journey from the airport to Vila Lanna, the typical fare is around 400–500 CZK, depending on traffic and service used.

From Prague Main Railway Station

1. Exit the station through the main entrance and follow signs to the Hlavní nádraží tram stop, which is located just outside on Bolzanova Street. (Turn right and go through the park.)
2. Take tram number 26 (towards Divoká Šárka) and ride for nine stops, getting off at Hradčanská station.
   (A single ride costs approximately 40 CZK, valid for both tram and metro transfers within the ticket’s validity period.)
3. From Hradčanská, it’s a pleasant 6–10 minute walk (about 500 m) to Vila Lanna.

Make sure you validate your tram ticket as soon as you get on.

Prague Public Transport

Bus/metro/tram/trolleybus rides are subject to regular Prague public transport fares (including pre-paid tickets). Bus/metro/tram/trolleybus rides do not need to be booked in advance. Prague’s public transport runs on a proof-of-payment system. You must validate any paper ticket before entering a metro station or immediately after boarding a tram or bus, otherwise it is considered invalid.

If you have a paper single ticket (e.g. 40 CZK for 90 min), use a yellow validation machine (commonly located at the entrance to metro stations or on buses/trams) to stamp the ticket once—this prints the start time on the ticket and activates it. Do not enter the metro paid area without first stamping your ticket in the yellow validator—look for the white line on the floor and the yellow stampers nearby. Validate the ticket exactly once, on first usage—tampers or multiple validations will render it invalid.

You can purchase public transport tickets at yellow touchscreen vending machines, conveniently located at metro station entrances, major tram and bus stops, as well as in tourist information centres or newsagents throughout the city—including at Prague Airport and main train stations. These machines typically offer English language support and accept both coin and card payments.

Another option is to purchase a ticket on board a tram, bus or trolleybus via a contactless terminal (orange vending maschine). The ticket is then validated automatically, so no further stamping is required.

Typicaly you will need to purchase a public transport ticket for 40 CZK for this trip. The ticket is valid for 90 minutes.
Participants aged over 65 can verify their right to receive the free age-based fare/tariff through the use of any form of ID card or a passport.

Tickets can also be purchased via SMS or the Lítačka mobile app, which can also be used to search for the ideal public transport connection. The application is available for Android or iOS.
