About Prague
After your trip from Munich Airport to Prague, you will find yourself in the vibrant capital of the Czech Republic, boasting a UNESCO-recognized historical Old Town and incredible castle as well as a fantastic food and beer scene. This lively city is known for its friendly locals and diverse cultural and historical attractions, there is something in Prague for every traveler.
Founded in the 8th century before transitioning to an imperial capital in the 14th century under Charles IV (Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia), Prague holds a storied history that visitors can learn more about by exploring its many museums and cultural experiences. The city’s architecture, particularly in the Old Town, offers a Baroque atmosphere that invites travelers to step back in time.
Centered around the banks of the Vltava River, Prague is home to many waterside restaurants and bars as well as ornate pedestrian bridges. The city’s iconic Charles Bridge, named after Charles IV, who reportedly laid its first stone, is one of the most photographed monuments in the world. Its Medieval arched structure and accompanying statues of saints are a testament to influential personalities throughout European history.
The pristine Prague Castle (the largest castle complex in the world at over 18 acres) overlooks the city and rewards visitors with breathtaking panoramas of the city and river below. Its landscaped gardens and series of chapels and cathedrals are stunning examples of preserved Romanesque and Gothic influences alongside more decadent Renaissance and Baroque elements.
From Munich Airport to Prague: travel tips
On your Munich Airport to Prague transfer, there are a few things you can do to ensure you have the best trip possible and start your time off in Prague on the right foot.
Stop for sightseeing
If you choose to cover the distance between the airport and Prague with a private driving transfer, it is a great opportunity to stop en route for sightseeing in order to make the most of your travel day.
You can visit powerful historical sites such as the Dachau Memorial, the first concentration camp in Germany. This somber site has been open to visitors since 2003, allowing people to walk the “path of prisoners” to learn more about the horrific realities lived there. While certainly heavy, this is an important memorial to the thousands who lost their lives in this camp and the others like it. If you’re only passing through Germany, it is a worthwhile stop to learn more about the region’s difficult history.
Keep your driver updated
As flights can often experience last-minute disruptions and delays, be sure to communicate with the Daytrip team throughout your journey to keep your driver apprised of your flight status and any issues that may come up. This helps the team to ensure your driver is there on time to greet you or lets them know you’ll need to make alternative arrangements.

Things to do when you get to Prague
After your Munich Airport to Prague transfer, you will be greeted by a range of activities in this vibrant city. In addition to the incredible food and beer scene, there are fascinating historical and cultural sites around every corner.
Walk Charles Bridge
Charles Bridge was once the only way to cross the river Vltava up until around 1870. Now, it is still used by pedestrians as one of the few Medieval bridges standing today. The bridge features remarkable statues and sculptures of saints and significant figures throughout European history, and its aesthetic appeal makes it one of the most visited and photographed bridges anywhere in the world.
Visit Prague Castle
Prague Castle is still the seat of the head of state, and it serves as a remarkable cultural and historical feature of the city. The sprawling complex features pristine gardens, chapels, and glittering cathedrals in a range of architectural styles that visitors can appreciate.
The castle complex has been named the largest in the world, and there is a ton of history and incredible architecture to witness, so be sure to leave yourself plenty of time to explore. On average, people tend to spend at least half a day here! You won’t want to rush through this vastly impressive site.
See the Prague Astronomical Clock
The Prague Astronomical Clock is one of the most iconic sites of the city, nestled at the heart of the Old Town. Each day from 9 am to 11 pm on the hour, the clock’s chiming sets into motion a mechanical procession of the 12 apostles.
The clock tower is part of the old town hall, which is well worth a visit for its historical significance. At the tail end of World War II, the area underneath the hall and the clock tower served as the center for the city’s uprising against Nazism.
What is the best time to visit Prague?

While this time of year does boast milder weather, you may be better off visiting in the summer months and enjoying the longer days with fewer crowds.
This time of year may also offer reduced fares on flights and accommodation, and the temperatures don’t tend to be as sweltering as summers can be in some other European city breaks.

Excellent service for transfers in Thailand
“I was unsure about this company but a few good reviews on Trip Advisor made me take the chance. I am so happy that we did. We needed a ride from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai. Our driver Saksun was an excellent driver - it's not a long distance to drive (by Texas standards!) but the road is challenging and there are a lot of places where improvements to the road are being made. It took around 3 hours with a stop at a place with very clean bathrooms, very interesting hot springs and a place to get a snack and cold drinks. Saksun had a vehicle that was fantastic for this type of drive - a very comfortable ride indeed and was obviously well maintained and very clean. I highly recommend this company. I used to post on trip advisor as "lakekariba" but got out of the habit of doing so. This company was so easy to use and the result was so enjoyable that I felt that the company Daytrip and the driver Saksun had earned our trust and a glowing review.

Dec 4, 2024Excellent option to get to Vienna to Budapest!
“We used Daytrip to travel between Budapest and Vienna with a 2 hour stop for lunch in Bratislava. Our driver Zsombor arrived on time at our hotel in Budapest and was very friendly and informative throughout our trip. His vehicle was roomy and clean and he was kind enough to provide us with some bottled water for the trip. Our quick visit stop in Bratislava was very nice as well. He gave us plenty of time to explore the city and have lunch before meeting him again when it was time to head for Vienna. Daytrip provided us with a happy and trouble free transfer between Budapest and Vienna. Many thanks to your team and especially to your driver Zsombor!”

“Our ondaytrip driver was the best - Jana! She picked us up promptly at Munich airport and off we zoomed to Prague. We were in a hurry because we only had 1 day in Prague. Jana was full of interesting info about Czech Rep. and Prague. She's very fluent in English and enthusiastic! Once we arrived in Prague, we were on our own, but she foresaw that we had no idea where and how to make the most of our precious 1 day SO she offered to show us Prague. We gladly accepted and, of course, paid her separately (not part of the driver fee) . Boy, were we glad she had time and wanted to share Prague with us. We saw everything on our list of "to do's" plus she took us to great local restaurants and sites we would not have known. 7 hours later she dropped us at our Air BnB, satisfied that we had covered so much territory. Jana gets 5 stars from us!”

“We booked a transfer from our hotel in Prague to the Munich Airport. Our driver Kornel.B was wonderful. He is a law student with a lot of knowledge on the history and politics of the region. He kept the long 4 hour drive very interesting. He was also prompt, courteous and helpful. I would highly recommend him and Daytrip for a hasslefree and pleasant experience.”
