Day trips from Prague with a private driver

Solid Transfers — solid-transfers.com

We pick you up at home or at your hotel in the morning, drive you there, the driver waits and you are back in the evening. No hunting for parking, no timetables, and no walking between two sights that happen to be at opposite ends of town. These are the day trips we drive most often.

How a day trip is priced

You pay the outward journey at our normal rate, and the way back on the same day costs half. Within the Czech Republic waiting is not charged by the hour; it is included, however long the day takes. The same applies abroad as long as the driver waits no more than six hours, and trips abroad are paid in advance. The price is per car, not per person: a Mercedes E-Class for one to three passengers, a V-Class for up to seven. The figures below are from central Prague; the calculator works them out for your address when you choose a same-day return.

Kutná Hora

The Sedlec Ossuary, decorated with human bones, St Barbara's Cathedral and the silver history of a town that once minted the Prague groschen. An hour and ten minutes' drive; the whole day in an E-Class costs 4 710 CZK. Day trip to Kutná Hora

Karlštejn

Charles IV's castle, forty minutes from Prague. A short trip that even fits into an afternoon. The whole trip in an E-Class costs 2 010 CZK. Day trip to Karlštejn

Terezín

The fortress town the Nazis turned into a ghetto, and the Small Fortress with its Gestapo prison. A trip that needs time and a quiet mind. The whole day in an E-Class costs 3 360 CZK. Day trip to Terezín

Saxon Switzerland and the Bastei

Sandstone cliffs above the Elbe and the stone Bastei Bridge, just across the border, an hour and forty minutes' drive. The whole day in an E-Class costs 8 220 CZK. Day trip to Saxon Switzerland

Other ideas

We also drive day trips to Český Krumlov, Karlovy Vary and Dresden. The same rule applies everywhere: back the same day for half the outward fare.
