At PRG, remain airside—small airport but slow processing, so snack and stay near the gate.
We recommend you stay airside: Prague Airport has limited rapid transit options for short exits.
A brief city visit is possible if traffic is light and lines are short.
Choose one compact area and enjoy food, baths, and walking along the river. Transit is easy, but nightlife areas can pull you far apart, so stay focused.
