Bus Hire in Prague

Prague is one of Europe's great medieval cities, its Old Town, Lesser Town, and Prague Castle surviving the Second World War almost undamaged. The Charles Bridge, Old Town Square with its Astronomical Clock, and the castle complex above the Vltava river form one of the most photographed skylines in Europe. With over 8 million visitors a year, the city has a highly professional group coach market to match.

Prague Vaclav Havel Airport (PRG) is 17 km north-west of the city centre. The most direct coach route is the D8 slip road to the airport express motorway, typically 25 to 40 minutes depending on time of day. Czech coach hire rates are competitive: typically 30 to 45 percent below equivalent bookings in Germany or Austria.

Old Town and Charles Bridge

The Old Town (Stare Mesto) pedestrian zone restricts vehicles on its central lanes. Coaches drop on Namesti Republiky (Republic Square) or along the Vltava riverside quays (Dvorkuv Nabrezi). The Charles Bridge is a 5-minute walk from both drop points. Prague Castle is on the west bank of the Vltava: coaches approach via the Mala Strana (Lesser Town) and park at the Hradcanske namesti coach bay.

Bohemian Countryside Day Trips

The most popular day trips from Prague are Cesky Krumlov (170 km south, 2 to 2.5 hours -- UNESCO castle town), Kutna Hora (80 km east, 1 hour -- Sedlec Ossuary, St Barbara's Cathedral), and Karlovy Vary (130 km west, 1.5 hours -- spa colonnades). Kutna Hora in particular is a standard half-day or full-day add-on for groups with limited time.

Corporate Events and MICE

Prague has a major conference and incentive (MICE) sector. Key venues include the Prague Congress Centre (PCC, 9,300 seats, Vysehrad district), the O2 Arena (18,000, Liben), and the Prague Exhibition Palace (Holešovice). Delegate transfers from PRG to the congress district take 25 to 40 minutes.

What Bus Hire Costs in Prague

As a rough guide, a minibus (up to 19 seats) in Prague runs around 6,500-12,000 CZK per day, a midi-coach (around 35 seats) around 11,000-20,000 CZK per day, and a full-size coach (49 to 55 seats) around 16,500-30,000 CZK per day. Prague commands the highest rates in the Czech Republic; summer peak season (June to September) and Christmas market period (December) see premium pricing.
