TRAVEL INSTRUCTION –FROM PRAGUE AIRPORT TO PARDUBICE
Dear students, here you can find complete information how to get from Prague Václav
Havel Airport to Pardubice, directly to the dormitories, where you are going to live during
your stay in Pardubice. This document describes you the public transport in Prague, the train
to Pardubice as well as the public transport system in Pardubice.
Very shortly:
1.
Bus line AE from Prague Airport to Prague Main railway station
2.
The EuroCity or Express train from Prague to Pardubice
3.
Trolleybus line 3 or 33 or bus line 10, 16, 17 or 23 or night service no. 98 from
the railway station to the main campus where your dormitory is located (bus
stops Polabiny,Hradecká, Univerzita and Polabiny,hotel)
The ticket for the AE bus and the train can be purchased by train operator online. The
ticket for the public transport in Pardubice can be bought from the ATM machine at the
railway station.
Detailed description of all the above steps follows:
1. From Prague Airport to the main railway station
It isn't hard to get from Prague Airport to the railway station. Basically you land,
collect all of your luggage, you can change some money at an exchange office at the airport
terminal and find the bus stop. In case of not buying the ticket in advance in the e-shop buy
your ticket in Prague Tourist Information Centre kiosk in arrival hall of Terminal 1 (photo is
in the last chapter describing the ticket issues).
The flights outside Schengen area and also few low-cost flights inside Schengen area
are operated from Terminal 1, the flights inside Schengen area are usually operated from
Terminal 2 (Prague Airport has 3 terminals, Terminal 3 is designed for private flights).
It is very easy to find the bus stop. The bus stops by both terminals, the bus stops are
located in front of the buildings. The arrival hall is in the ground level so you only need to get
outside the building and you’ll see the bus stop while having the cigarette break.
If you arrive to Terminal 1, you have to use the bus stop named Terminál 1 marked by
G. As you can see in the picture, it is the rightmost bus stop when leaving the terminal
building.
If you arrive to Terminal 2, the bus stop Terminál 2 has 3 bus stops marked A, B, C.
You have to choose the one marked B, it is the second one. The situation is clearly shown in
the picture below (your route and bus stop painted by red color in the picture).
The bus stops are marked with red color, every bus stop is equipped with the overview
of lines serving this bus stop. The Terminál 1 and Terminál 2 bus stops have also the digital
table showing the times of upcoming buses (the departures of your recommended line AE are
marked with different color, orange one, because special tariff terms and conditions are
applied in this bus).

You can see the situation of the bus stop Terminál 2 in following picture:

Airport Express line
From that particular bus stop you have to take the bus to the main railway station. The
bus is marked as line AE (abbreviation for Airport Express). The AE bus runs daily every 30
minutes. First bus leaves Terminál 1 stop at 5:30 a.m. (Terminál 2 stop at 5:32 a.m.), last one
leaves Terminál 1 stop at 9:00 p.m. (Terminál 2 stop at 9:02 p.m.).
The headway of 15 minutes will be operated after June 1st from 9:00 a.m. till 8:00 p.m.
This headway will be operated till September 30th.
The AE bus goes through 2 stops between Terminál 2 stop and the Main Railway
Station stop. You don't have to count the stops, the Main Railway Station stop is the terminal
stop of the bus (and the stops on the routes are request stops, so you maybe won’t even stop
there), the name of the terminal stop is Hlavní nádraží (Czech for Main station). The route
takes about 30 – 40 minutes depending on the daytime and traffic intensity. The ticket for the
AE line can be bought in advance online together with the train ticket from Prague to
Pardubice (the cheapest way is to buy the ticket from Prague Airport directly to Pardubice, the
ticket is then accepted in the bus as well as in the train, the tickets are described in the last
chapter).
http://www.fotodoprava.com/images_mhdpraha/ph3431v.jpg
The bus and the marking are shown in the above picture. There is the sign of the train
as the connection to the railway station as well as the texts in English (Main Station) and
German (Hbf.). The line is usually served by the buses with grey-blue color and big texts
Airport Express and buses with standard Prague colors – combination of red and black), but
the information about the line in the information system of the bus is the same.
The bus stop Hlavní nádraží is located in front of the building of railway station. You
enter the building, get downstairs (there are escalators on both sides - about 5 meters
-3-
distanced from the building entrance). The escalator takes you to the railway station hall. You
shouldn't have problems from this moment, all the signs and announcements at railway
stations are in Czech as well as in English language.
Other possibilities - taxi
The other possibility how to get to the railway station is the taxi. There are marked
places for the taxis at the airport, the airport is served by the company AAA taxi. If you order
a taxi at the AAA radiotaxi information desk in the arrival hall, you will get a preferential
service with a discount as well as a discount coupon for your next ride back to the airport. The
price for the taxi from the airport to the main railway station is 500 – 550 CZK (approx. 20 €)
plus 6 CZK (approx. 0.22 €) per every minute of possible waiting. The taxi drivers allowed to
take the passengers at the airport must speak English.
Other possibilities – public transportation services
If you come to Prague too early or too late (first AE bus goes at 5:30 a.m., the last one
at 9:00 p.m.) and you don’t want to use the taxi (which is quite expensive in comparison with
the public transport), then you have to use the other lines of public transport, you can see the
departure schedule in following table. Be carefull abou the weekdays and weekends
connections, especially during night (for example weekend connection at 00:17 goes on
Saturday and Sunday, that actually means Friday and Saturday night):

Night bus line no. 510 (23:50 – 04:01 from the airport)
The night line no. 510 (direction Na Beránku) goes every 30 minutes during the
weekday night and every 20 minutes during the weekend night, it is operated approximately
from midnight until 4 a.m. It stops in the bus stop marked as E at the Terminál 1 stop and in
the bus stop marked as A at the Terminál 2 stop (see the picture above).
Take this bus to the stop I.P.Pavlova (it’s a transfer stop for few night bus lines), the
previous stop for getting ready is named Štěpánská and the route from Terminál 2 stop to
I.P.Pavlova stop takes 42 minutes. At this stop you have to change for the line no. 505 in
direction to Sídliště Čimice. You have to get to the stop in the opposite direction (the bus no.
505 which stops in the same stop like you left the bus is the opposite direction than the one
you need). It’s a little bit tricky, because the street you have left the bus in is an one-way
street. You have to go 40 meters back to the crossing, go to the right and in the next street
there is a bus stop.
Bus no. 505 in the direction to Sídliště Čimice leaves I.P.Pavlova stop also every 30
minutes during the weekday night and every 20 minutes during weekend night, there is 4 - 7
minutes time for changing after arrival of every bus no. 510. You have to go just one stop
with the bus no. 505, the first stop is Hlavní nádraží (Main station).

http://www.mapy.cz (the descriptions added by the author)
In case that you go with the last night line connection at 3:56 a.m. (weekdays) or 4:01
a.m. (weekends) then you have to go also to the I.P.Pavlova stop and change here for the bus
line no. 505, but these last connections leaving I.P.Pavlova stop at 4:46 a.m. (weekdays) or
4:51 a.m. (weekends) are not going to Sídliště Čimice, but they are ended in Hlavní nádraží,
that is the next stop and also the stop you need to get. In case that you miss the last connection
with the bus no. 505, do not worry, at this time, you can already change for metro
(underground). You follow the same described route to the bus stop of the line no. 505, but
before the stop you will see the entrance to the metro station – it is downstairs and marked
with red letter C. Here you take the metro in the direction to Florenc – Nádraží Holešovice
– Ládví – Letňany. Your destination is named Hlavní nádraží (Main station) and it is a second
stop after I.P.Pavlova.
The same tickets as for the daily public transport can be used in Prague, so the ticket
for 32 CZK is suitable too, it can be bought in the ATM at the bus stop and you have to
validate it when entering the bus no. 510, the revalidation in bus no. 505 isn’t needed.
The situation is little bit complicated, if you come in the gap between first/last AE bus
and first/last night connection, this means between 4 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. and between 9 p.m.
and 12 a.m., then you have to use the other public transportation line no. 119 from the airport.
Bus line no. 119 (4:00 – 5:30 and 21:00 – 23:45 from the airport)
The bus no. 119 stops at the bus stop E at the Terminál 1 stop and at the bus stop A at
the bus stop Terminál 2.
Take the bus no. 119 and use it till the terminal station named Nádraží Veleslavín
(Veleslavín railway station). Nádraží Veleslavín is the transfer station for the metro
(underground) A line going to the city center. After leaving the bus go underground following
-6-
the information system to the green letter A with an arrow symbol (it symbolizes the A line of
the metro). Take the metro on the right side of the platform (direction Dejvická – Můstek –
Muzeum – Želivského – Skalka – Depo Hostivař). Use the metro for 7 stations till the station
named Muzeum (approx. 12 minutes). Muzeum is the transfer station and you change here for
the metro line C (follow the arrows to the red marked letter C). Take the metro line C in
direction Florenc – Nádraží Holešovice – Ládví – Letňany. The next stop is Hlavní nádraží
(Main station).
The bus no. 119 is operated during the whole day, but using of the Airport Express
line (AE) is much easier and more comfortable for you.
Tickets
The public transportation ticket for all described versions of journey (except the AE
line with special tariff) can be bought in the ATM machine or at any newspaper shop at the
airport. Use the ticket for 32 CZK / 1.19 €. This ticket is valid for 90 minutes, the validity
time is started when you enter the bus and mark the ticket in the validator (put it inside
validator so the printed information is printed on validation stamp place). You don’t have to
revalidate it when changing the bus to metro (the ticket is fully transferable within the 90
minutes).
In case that your luggage exceeds the dimensions of 25 x 40 x 70 cm, then you’re
supposed to buy a ticket for the luggage too; the price of that ticket is 16 CZK / 0,58 €.
Validate it in the same as the ticket for you. The ticket for luggage is valid together with your
ticket for the same time and you have to validate it when entering the bus in the same way as
your ticket.
2. From Prague Main railway station to Pardubice
All the trains are shown on the digital information boards at the railway station. The
international ones are announced by the voice system in English, too. You need to get a train
to station Pardubice hlavní nádraží (Pardubice main station), but if you go with the train from
Praha hlavní nádraží (Prague Main railway station), all the trains to Pardubice stop in
Pardubice only at the Pardubice main railway station. The trains are usually operated daily.
Here is the list of trains going from Prague Main railway station in direction to Pardubice with
all restrictions if applied (see the footnotes in case of travelling in the national holiday on

The trains leaving Prague main station at xx:52 highlighted by yellow color will be
changed due to construction works. Started by January 3rd these trains will leave Prague main
station 3 minutes earlier at xx:49. This measure will be applied until April 2016.
Train tickets purchased by České dráhy (Czech railways – Czech national carrier,
abbreviated as ČD in the table) aren’t connected to certain train, they can be used in every
train on the route during the whole 24 hours of the day, the same for the bus line AE from the
airport, the ticket can be bought from the airport directly to Pardubice and then it is valid in all
AE bus connections during that day as well as in all trains operated by České dráhy between
Prague and Pardubice during that particular day. There are some exceptions, these trains are
marked with the non-bold text. The non-bold texted trains are Pendolinos and few IC trains,
where the ticket can be used, but you have to buy the additional seat reservation for every
particular train (price is changeable, usually 35 CZK / 1.26 € per person, very often you can
get seat reservation for free for this IC trains when purchasing tickets online from their eshop), and the second group of non-bold texted trains are the trains of another carriers –
RegioJet, Leo Express (abbreviated as RJ and LE in the table) and Arriva. These carriers work
in other way, you have to buy the ticket for particular train connection and tickets bought by
České dráhy aren’t accepted.
The trains of category SC (SuperCity) are Pendolinos, the trains of category rj (railjet),
EC (EuroCity), EN (EuroNight) and IC (InterCity) are the trains with wagons of higher
quality. The trains of category R (fast train – “rychlík” in Czech) are the normal trains, the
quality is lower than by the other ones and the price is the same so I wouldn’t recommend you
to use R train if not necessary.
3. From Pardubice railway station to the university dormitories
Firstly talk to your buddies before the journey; they will await you at the railway
station most likely. In unlike situation when your buddy is not waiting at the railway station
for you, please follow these instructions.

Your dormitories are located in the main campus 2.5 km from the railway station, the
brave ones can try to go by foot using the GPS locator, the location of the dormitories
reception is 50°2'56.080"N, 15°46'2.881"E. The address is University of Pardubice – Halls of
dormitory, Studentská 201, Pardubice. The other ones can use the public transport.
Firstly go to the ATM machine and buy the tickets for the public transport, you will
need the ticket for 15 CZK / 0.56 €. If you use the night service no. 98 the tickets are sold
only by the bus driver and the price for tickets is 25 CZK / 0.93 €.
http://www.mapy.cz (the descriptions added by the author)
The connection between railway station and the main campus is provided by
trolleybus lines 3 and 33 and bus lines 10, 16, 17 and 23. In the late evening night line 98 is
operated. The buses are going from different stops at the railway station terminal; you can see
the locations and directions on the map.
All the regular daily lines go from the bus stops at the same side of the street as the
railway station is located. The night line line no. 98 goes from the other side of the street as
you can see in the picture below.
Buses go almost all the time especially in the peak hours. You just need to get to the
bus stop and enter the bus. Don’t forget to validate your ticket in the validator inside the bus.
There is the rule of entering the buses only using the front door after 8 p.m. In that case enter
the bus and validate your ticket in the validator by the driver. In case that you come in the late
night and you have to use the night line other process is applied. You have to enter the bus
and buy the tickets from the driver (the price is 25 CZK).
There are three stops in the university campus. Lines 3, 17, 33 and night line 98 go to
the stop named Polabiny,Hradecká, bus lines number 10 a 16 go to the bus stop Univerzita
and line 23 goes to the bus stop Polabiny,hotel. The travel time from the railway station to the
- 12 -
dormitories is 7 – 8 minutes with the daily lines. There are 5 stops between dormitories stop
and railway station. The previous stop before dormitories is named Stavařov.
The night line no. 98 uses other way, there are only 4 stops between railway station
and university campus. Use the bus stop Polabiny,Hradecká (the previous one is
Polabiny,hotel). The travel time is about 5 minutes.
Here you can see the overview of all the buses you can use, it goes very often all the
day, but you can check it especially in the evening. The overview of buses and trolleybuses
going from the railway station to the university campus on weekdays (from Monday till
Friday):

4. Price list and tickets purchasing
This part is about where and how to buy the tickets. It contains a very detailed
description of buying the ticket in the e-shop of České dráhy. Then you will need the ticket
for Pardubice public transport that can be bought in the ATM at Pardubice railway station. In
case of not using AE line but other urban public lines in Prague the tickets can be purchased
in the ATM at the airport or in any newspaper shop.
The ticket from Prague Airport to Pardubice
Train tickets to Pardubice may be purchased at the Prague Tourist Information Centre
kiosk right at the Terminal 1 arrival hall or in the e-shop of České dráhy. You can see the
kiosk at this photo. They speak English:
Martin Trpišovský
The tickets bought either in the kiosk or e-shop have the same validity no matter
where you buy them, and you can use them also in the Airport Express bus line from the
airport to the railway station. I recommend you to buy the ticket online in advance, you can
buy the ticket for the Airport Express bus line (AE) as well as for the train to Pardubice. The
ticket for the whole journey is cheaper and it is not connected to a particular bus or train, you
can use all of them during the day. The ticket is valid in all trains operated by České dráhy,
the ticket is valid also in Pendolinos (SuperCity trains) and Opava train (InterCity no. 513),
but the seat reservation must be bought, too, however this reservation can be bought later at
the cash desk at the railway station. This ticket bought from the company České dráhy isn’t
valid in the trains operated by the other carriers RegioJet, Leo Express and Arriva vlaky.
- 17 -
The ticket can be bought
from
the
webpage
https://www.cd.cz/eshop/default.
aspx
Fill in the field From
with the text Praha letiste and
the system will offer you the
station
Praha
letiště/Airport
(BUS), accept it. Unfortunately
the e-shop is fully translated into
English, but the names of cities
and places aren’t yet, so you
can’t write just Prague Airport
(letiště is Czech for an airport).
Fill in the field To with
the text Pardubice (you can
leave the text Pardubice or
choose the possibility Pardubice
hl.n., this is the shortcut for the
main station, but if you won’t choose this one, the system will automatically connect the
ticket with the main station).
You don’t need to put any places you want to go through (field Via) and you need
only the one way ticket (the return ticket is valid only within 48 hours).
Choose the right day. You can fill in the time, it will offer you then some transport
connection during that time and it will give you also the place reservation for the chosen train
from Prague to Pardubice, but the ticket is valid in all AE buses and all trains operated by
České dráhy started from Prague main railway station from the 12 a.m. till 11:59 p.m. that
day. So if you plan to go from Prague with the train R 719 Jan Kašpar at 12:09 a.m. in the
night, you need to buy the ticket for the date started after midnight (you won’t use the AE bus
in that particular case because the last AE bus leaves the airport at 9:02 p.m., so you will buy
the tickets only for the route Prague main station – Pardubice). In that case fill in only Praha
(not Praha letiste)
You don’t have to change any other field. You want the ticket with possible
reservation (it is for free except the Pendolinos), 2nd class ticket and you’re juniors (15 – 25
years) and you don’t have any discount card for Czech train (ISIC cards or any other foreign
student cards aren’t accepted).
You’re allowed to use the preferable group ticket if you are in a group of at least two
persons. The first passenger will pay the full fare, the second passenger receives an automatic
25% discount, the third and each additional passenger receive a 50% discount. So if you plan
to travel together just change the number of persons in the field next to the Age and category
field. Prices in the following text are counted for single travelers.
- 18 -
After clicking the Search
button choose one connection from
the list, the price is 180 CZK / 6,5
€. The price 214 CZK / 7,77 € is
shown for connection using
Pendolinos (the seat reservation
fee is added to the price).
Once you choose one
connection click the Purchase
button in the column of that
connection.
The next screen is offering you
supplementary services, you can choose the free
seat reservation, if you want, this reservation
will be valid only in the particular train from
Prague to Pardubice you chose (but the ticket is
still valid in all trains).
After clicking yes for the seat reservation
additional information will be shown under this
field.
- 19 -
The text “It is not possible
to make a reservation for certain
trains” is added because one part of
your connection is the journey with
the AE bus, the reservation aren’t
done in the bus, but the e-shop
doesn’t distinguish between trains
and buses. You can also click the
link Choose a seat on the carriage
map to choose a specific place in
the wagon.
The free SMS text information service
is available only for the phones with Czech
number. You can continue the process with
clicking the Continue button.
- 20 -
The
next
step
is
recapitulation of ordered services.
Scroll to the bottom part and fill in
your passport or ID card number
and your name (remember to fill in
the number of the ID document
you plan to travel with; you will
have to show the ID document to
the conductor).
Differently
to
the
information in the text under the
mobile phone field, you have to
print your ticket; the six-digit
transaction code is accepted in the
trains, but not in the AE bus.
Click the Place in your
shopping cart button to get to the
next step.
In the Purchase method field
choose the option One-off purchase
without registration and fill in your
e-mail into Email field. In the bottom
part tick that you accept the terms and
conditions and continue to the
payment clicking Pay button. You
can pay by your payment card and
you will get your ticket as a PDF file.
Don’t forget to print you ticket, you
will have to show it to the bus driver
in AE bus as well as to the conductor
in the train.
The ticket can be also bought
at the railway station, but then you
have to get another ticket for the AE
line. The ticket for the AE bus from
the airport can be purchased in cash
by the bus driver, the ticket is for 60
CZK / 2.22 €.
- 21 -
After proceeding the payment you
can download the PDF ticket and you will
receive it to your e-mail address filled in in
the previous step before payment. Print the
ticket and show it together with your ID
card (the ID with number you have used)
to the bus driver in AE line and to the train
conductor. Your ticket will look out
similar to this one.
If you don’t plan to use the AE bus,
for example because you will land in
Prague too early or too late, then you can
use the other ways in Prague public
transport described above. The ticket for
the journey from Prague to Pardubice can
be bought online in the same way like
described, only the field From will be
filled with the text Praha.
Prague urban public transport when not
using AE line
The public transportation ticket for
all described versions of journey (except the AE line with special tariff) can be bought in the
ATM machine or at any newspaper shop at the airport. Use the ticket for 32 CZK / 1.19 €.
This ticket is valid for 90 minutes, the validity time is started when you enter the bus and
mark the ticket in the validator (put it inside validator so the printed information is printed on
validation stamp place). You don’t have to revalidate it when changing the bus to metro (the
ticket is fully transferable within the 90 minutes).
In case that your luggage exceeds the dimensions of 25 x 40 x 70 cm, then you’re
supposed to buy a ticket for the luggage too; the price of that ticket is 16 CZK / 0.58 €.
Validate it in the same as the ticket for you. The ticket for luggage is valid together with your
ticket for the same time and you have to validate it when entering the bus in the same way as
your ticket.
Prague urban public transport when not using AE line
If you plan to use the train of the other carriers between Prague and Pardubice, you
can buy their tickets online. You can buy the tickets for RegioJet services online in their eshop (see http://jizdenky.studentagency.cz the language can be changed clicking the flag or
