How to reach the Vila Lanna
From Prague Airport
The connection between Václav Havel Airport Prague and Prague city is provided by public transport bus lines which operate at regular few-minute intervals. Bus stops are located directly in front of terminals.
From the airport to Vila Lanna we suggest to take bus no. 119 and geting off at its last stop Nádraží Veleslavín, then changing to green metro Line A to Hradčanská metro station. After that, it is only 500 m to Vila Lanna by walk. Do not forget to validate your ticket before entering public transport.
From Main or Holešovice train station
Both train stations are on the red metro Line C. We suggest going to the Museum metro station and changing to the green metro Line A to Hradčanská station. After that, it is only 500 m to Vila Lanna by walk. Do not forget to validate your ticket before entering public transport.
Prague Public Transport
Public transport bus/metro/tram rides are subject to regular Prague Public Transport Fares (including pre-paid passes). Bus/metro/tram rides do not need to be booked in advance. The passengers must buy a ticket before on-boarding and validate it immediately after boarding the bus/tram or before the entrance to the metro station by a small yellow stamping machine.
You will need to purchase a public transport ticket for 40 CZK for the trip from the airport or railway stations. There are also 24-hour and 72-hour tickets.
At the Airport tickets are sold in the Visitor Center, at the Prague Public Transit company counters in Arrival Halls, or from yellow ticket vending machines located throughout both terminals and directly at bus stops. The vending machines are located at each metro station before the entrance as well.
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.
