International Airport Praha-Ruzyně is the air gateway to the Czech Republic. It accommodates flights from the majority of European cities. However, overseas flights are operated only to selected destinations. Therefore it is highly probable, that if you are travelling from a different continent, to get to Prague you will have to change at Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam or Paris. The airport is located 10 kilometres north-west of the Prague’s city centre and it takes approximately 30 minutes to get there. A wide range of services, such as post, cash-machines (ATM), pharmacy, left-luggage, ex-change, car hire, hotel and accommodation services as well as many restaurants can be found at the arrival terminal. The departure terminal offers a vast number of duty-free shops, restaurants, fast food services and check in counters of various flight operators.

Before travelling to the Czech Republic, you should check if any entry requirements are needed and arrange all necessary documentation. If you are a citizen of a country that does not have Visa Waiver Regime with the Czech Republic, you will need to obtain a valid visa in order to enter the Czech Republic. Contrary to some other countries, which issue visas on arrival, the Czech visa can be obtained only at a Czech embassy or the premises of authorities representing the Czech Republic in that particular country.

Duty and tax free allowance is set to 175 Euros of the value of imported goods. This limit applies only if you travel from outside of the EU. There are no customs limits if your journey was entirely within the EU. Use the red point/zone to declare goods in excess of the allowance and commercial goods, but use the green zone if you have nothing to declare.
