Traffic Information
For those arriving via plane, the journey into the city centre of Prague is simple and straightforward. It takes roughly 40 mins on Route 7 to drive from the Vaclav Havel Airport (12 miles). Taking the D0 is likely to shorten the journey however this road does have tolls. The central train station (1 mile) is a leisurely 10 min drive away while the bus station (2 miles) takes roughly 15 minutes. Entering the city via the airport is relatively easy because of the one major road leading into the centre, as well as, the new signage on the way. Once inside the city, a Sat Nav can be helpful to navigate the small network of streets. If you require any other add ons for your car rental in Prague, check out all the options online.
Sixt Tip
Prague is a favourite holiday destination thanks to its rich history, awe-inspiring architecture, natural beauty and friendly locals. Prague Castle towers over the city and is a must-see when visiting. Its gothic architecture is in stark contrast with the beautiful surrounding scenery. The Old Town is the perfect place to explore. The winding streets and small alleyways transport you back to another area. The stunning Charles Bridge connects the Old Town with the Lesser Town (Malá Strana). For lovers of literature, no trip to Prague could be complete without a visit to the legendary Franz Kafka's house. Prague also boasts impressive restaurants, bars, nightclubs, designer and vintage stores, as well as, permanent and temporary art galleries.

For those who love history, architecture and stunning scenery the Karlstejn Castle is unmissable. It dates back to the 14th century and was founded by the King of Bohemia and the Holy Roman Emperor.
