It is extremely important to call the moment you arrive in the country so that we can be sure that there is someone to greet you when you arrive: if we don't hear from you we may assume that you are not coming. There are plenty of call boxes which take coins at the airport. If you have a GSM phone please bring that and give us your number so we can contact you if necessary. Our numbers are:
257531941 (land-line)
731087899 (mobile)
To call from a foreign mobile just add +420.
After you have called please buy a 20Kc ticket from the booth just by the exit. This will take you all the way to The Castle Steps. Please don't forget to validate your ticket in one of the yellow machines as soon as you get in. If you have luggage bigger than 25cm x 45cm x 70cm you have to buy a separate 10 Kc ticket for each piece.
When you walk out of the main exit of the airport you will see a road in front of you. The airport bus stops here. Take bus number 119 to Dejvicka (the end-stop).
When the bus stops walk in the direction it was going in for about 20m and you will see the entrance to the metro. Take any train two stops to Malostranska. When you get up to the street you will see some trams stops in front of you. Take tram 22, 20 or 12 one stop to Malastranske Namesti (this is in the direction going to your right).
When you get out of the tram you will be next to a carpark. Walk up across the car-park and follow the road which leads up the hill. This turns into Nerudova. Go to number 7 (on the left) and press the doorbell marked "The Castle Steps". If you forgot to call from the airport, there might not be anyone to greet you. In this case carry on up the hill another 100m and you will find call-boxes which take coins. Please call them and they will come within a few minutes.
If you like we can arrange for you to be picked up from the airport: this costs £15/$28/€22 for up to four people. Somebody will be waiting for you with a sign with your name on it, and they will stay there even if your flight is delayed. Just let us know on the booking form and we will make all the arrangements.
However it isn't difficult to get into town using public transport.
