There is no problem to catch a taxi in front of the airport but we recommend to take an advantage of a reputable company AAA TAXI. It has own representatives in the arrival hall. Or you can call the operator at number 14 014. They speak also English.

When taking a taxi in front of the arriving hall, we recommend to ask the driver for the approximate price beforehand. If the price is unreasonable high take another cab.

Exchange offices at the airport are overpriced so it is better to use ATMs in the arrival hall to get Czech crowns.
