Václav Havel Airport Prague (PRG) is the city’s main international gateway and typically serves a mix of legacy carriers and full-service European operators, alongside several low-cost airlines on budget routes. Located roughly 17 km northwest of Prague’s city centre, it can be reached by AE express bus to the central station in about 35–40 minutes, regular public buses and metro connections in 30–45 minutes, or taxis and ride-shares in around 25–35 minutes depending on traffic; expect transport fares to range from modest public-transport tickets to mid-range taxi fares. The airport usually offers a comfortable terminal with a range of services and transfer options, though peak hours can be busy; cheaper flights may be found on low-cost carriers but checking multiple carriers can help compare value vs convenience.
Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport (BUD) is Hungary’s main international gateway and typically serves as the country’s primary hub for both legacy carriers and low-cost airlines, so you’ll find a mix of full-service and budget flights. Located roughly 16–20 km southeast of the city centre, transfer options include shuttle buses and public buses (about 35–50 minutes, low fares), taxis and ride-hailing services (30–40 minutes, mid-range fares), and airport coaches to major hubs. Trains are limited from the airport itself, so buses are the most common public choice. Pros: relatively compact terminals and a wide route network; cons: can be busy during peak seasons and transfers into central Budapest take longer than some European capitals.
