From Prague to Olomouc

The easiest way to get from the Václav Havel Airport Prague to the main train station (Praha, hlavní nádraží), is to take the Airport Express (AE) bus. AE Bus stops right in front of the arrival hall at the airport and terminates at the main train station. The ticket costs CZK 100 and it can be purchased from the bus driver.

Trains are currently the fastest way to get to Olomouc from Prague, because of the ongoing reconstruction of the highway, buses could be quite delayed.

There is an option to choose between the state-run České dráhy (Czech Railways), or private-run RegioJet and Leo Express.
