To help you plan your layover or overnight sleepover, here is a quick run-down about what to expect during your time at Prague Václav Havel Airport.

What to Expect

Prague Airport (code: PRG) has four terminals, though most passengers will see only the public Terminals 1 and 2. Concourses A and B in Terminal 1 are dedicated to non-Schengen destinations. Concourses C and D in Terminal 2 service Schengen zone destinations. Both terminals are easy to navigate on foot.
As for amenities, you’ll find several restaurants and cafes, a range of shops, and a rest area in Terminal 2 with seats and footrests. A few eateries are open 24 hours. Pass the time with free, unlimited WiFi. Economy class passengers can pay to enter a few airport lounges, plus a Rest and Fun Center, and most have shower facilities.

Sleeping in Prague Airport

Sleeping at Prague Airport is generally tolerated overnight, although you may need to remain before security until you can access the departure area. Both terminals have 24-hour relaxation zones after security, and Terminal 2 has a traveller-recommended carpeted chill-out area with beanbags. Before security, seating is limited, while cold temperatures, bright lighting and armrests can make getting comfortable difficult. For detailed sleeping locations, conditions, photos and traveller tips, visit our Guide to Sleeping in Prague Airport or read the latest traveller reviews.

For uninterrupted sleep, hotels are located on and near airport grounds, and some offer shuttle service. See the Airport Hotels section below for more info.
