Prague Airport (PRG), officially Václav Havel Airport Prague and formerly Prague Ruzyně International Airport, is the main international gateway for travellers arriving in the Czech Republic. Renamed in 2012 to honour Václav Havel, the first president of the Czech Republic, Prague Airport connects travellers with over 180 destinations across Europe and beyond via direct flights and transfers. The airport is located roughly 12km west of Prague’s historic (and UNESCO-listed) city centre, so you’ll be wandering across the iconic Charles Bridge, exploring Prague Castle and enjoying a glass of that famous Czech beer in no time after touching down in this fairy-tale European city!
