How to get to Prague: Best ways for England fans to travel for Czechia Nations League clash

England fans travelling to Prague for the Three Lions' UEFA Nations League clash with Czechia have several options to get to the Czech capital.

Thomas Tuchel's side will face Czechia at Fortuna Arena on Tuesday, September 29, with kick-off at 8.45 pm local time.

For supporters travelling from England, flying is the best option and Prague's excellent public transport network makes getting to Fortuna Arena relatively straightforward.

Here, FootballGroundGuide explains how England fans can travel to Prague and get to Fortuna Arena for the game.

Getting to Prague by plane

Flying is comfortably the best option for most England fans travelling to Prague.

There are regular direct flights from London to Prague Airport, while supporters travelling from elsewhere in England can also find direct services from a number of regional airports.

The flight from London to Prague takes around two hours, making it a much quicker option than travelling by train or coach.

With the match taking place on a Tuesday evening, flying out at least a day in advance is recommended as it gives fans plenty of time to get settled and avoids the risk of a delayed flight ruining the matchday experience.

Prague Airport is around 16km from the city centre and there are several travel options for fans.

The Airport Express bus connects the airport with Prague Main Railway Station, while regular public transport services offer a cheaper way into the city.

Bus 59 connects the airport with Nadrazi Veleslavin, where supporters can change onto Metro Line A, while Bus 100 connects with Metro Line B at Zlicin.

Prague's standard public transport is also excellent value, with a 90-minute ticket currently costing around CZK 50 (£1.78). The Airport Express is a separate service and requires a different ticket.

Taxis and Uber are also available, although traffic can make journeys into central Prague slower at busy times.

Getting to Prague by train

Travelling to Prague from England by train is possible, although it is a much longer journey. There is no direct London to Prague service, so supporters will need to travel via mainland Europe and make further connections.

For fans who want to make a longer European trip out of the fixture, travelling by rail could be an enjoyable alternative as Prague is well connected to major European cities including Berlin, Vienna and Munich.

For supporters simply looking for the quickest way to get to the game, however, flying is the better option.

Getting to Prague by coach

Coach travel could appeal to England fans looking for a cheaper way to travel.

Long-distance services operate between London and Prague, although the journey takes around 22 hours. The main advantage is the price, with an overnight journey also reducing the amount spent on accommodation.

How to get to Fortuna Arena

Fortuna Arena is located in Prague's Vrsovice district and is the home of Slavia Prague.

The stadium has excellent public transport connections, making it relatively easy to reach from central Prague.

Getting to Fortuna Arena by tram

The tram is one of the easiest ways to travel to the Fortuna Arena.

The Slavia stop is located close to the stadium and several tram services operate in the area, with additional connections usually available on matchdays.

Getting to Fortuna Arena by train

The Fortuna Arena also has is its own railway station, Prague-Eden, which is right next to the stadium. It is served by the S9 line, connecting the stadium with Prague Main Railway Station.

This makes the train another excellent option for England fans, with extra trains typically running on matchdays.

Getting to Fortuna Arena by Metro

There is no Metro station directly outside Fortuna Arena, but taking Metro Line A is an option if fans do not mind a short walk.

Supporters can travel to either Zelivskeho or Strasnicka, with the stadium approximately a 20-minute walk away.

Getting to Fortuna Arena by taxi or Uber

Taxis and Uber are readily available in Prague and this could be a convenient option for supporters travelling in a group.

However, traffic around Fortuna Arena will be particulaly busy before and after the match and is worth bearing in mind.

Getting to Fortuna Arena by car

Driving to the stadium is possible, with two main parking spots located at the ground called P1 and P2. However, those are expected to be in high demand on matchday.

There are some other places to park nearby, including the shopping centre Eden, Atrium Flora and Vivo! Hovistar.
