HOW TO GET TO BRNO FROM PRAGUE OR VIENNA AIRPORT
1. FROM PRAGUE BY BUS
There are several bus companies operating buses from Prague to Brno. The yellow Student Agency (RegioJet) buses also leave directly from Prague’s Vaclav Havel airport (you will have to transfer at the main bus station Florenc in Prague, but one ticket is valid for the whole journey to Brno by both buses). There is a ticket office of Student Agency at Terminal 1 in Prague, but you can also buy your ticket in advance and pay by credit card – it is really convenient. Flixbus, Eurolines and other companies operate buses from the bus station Florenc – you can get there by another bus operated by Student Agency or ask for directions at the airport. Student Agency and Flixbus will drop you off at the Grand Hotel bus station in Brno, while other companies usually stop at Zvonařka bus station.
2. FROM PRAGUE BY TRAIN
To get to Brno by train, you will first need to get to Prague’s main railway station – you can go by Airport Express, by public transport or ask for the directions at the airport. You can buy your ticket online on the website of the České dráhy company, of the Regiojet Company, or at the train station. Please do not forget to count at least 2 hours extra time to get to the railway station from the airport – it does not take that long but since you do not know the way, you must count some extra time to find it and time to buy the ticket at the railway station to be on the safe side!
