Recommended connection: SC train "Pendolino" from Prague to Olomouc (direction Ostrava). We recommend to use a shuttle bus "Airport Express" between Prague Airport and the main train station Praha Hlavní nádraží. At the Airport and on train stations the passengers can buy a ticket for SC Pendolino that is valid both in the bus Airport Express from (and to) the Prague Airport and in the Pendolino train. The price of the ticket including the bus is the same as that of the SC train only!
