    After deciding to go to Ostrava by car and choosing "your" car in many car rentals in Prague use the highway D1 - Prague - Brno - Vyskov - then take the speedway R46 Vyskov - Prostejov - (Olomouc). Before you arrive in Olomouc, follow the direction Ostrava.
    There new pieces of highway to Ostrava are being built and the entire part Vyskov - Ostrava D1 should be finnished and given to use in 2010.
    I don't know if you use this highway, because it can happen you will leave the highway for visiting the town around. :-)

    Ostrava has got the international airport by the village of Mosnov, 25 km WS from Ostrava.

    On December 14,2006 the airport for Ostrava got a new name Leos Janacek Ostrava Airport and since December 19th you can enjoy the new terminals where all the flights are checked in at.

    The map is here.
    The Leos Janacek airport Ostrava is marked by No. "1".

    There are four domestic flights situated to the capital of the Czech Republic - Prague. The flight takes one hour to get there.
    There's also a route to (and back from) Vienna, Austria. Also four regular flights per day.

    Starting June 2007 the passengers will have the opportunity to use the direct lowcost charter flights to Girona in Spain and Thessaloniki in Greece run by smartwings.com.

    Town of Ostrava will offers you these types of tickets:
    15 mins, 45 mins, 90 mins, 105 mins, 120 mins, 24 hous.
    I mostly use tickets for 15 (one trafic zone) and 45 mins (or two trafic zones). You will buy them for 10,-Kc (15 mins),15,-Kc (45 mins) and 20.-Kc (60 mins).

    A bus/tram driver will only sell you a 45-minute ticket for 20,- Kc as "an additional sale".

    The local tram network will take you all over town quick and easy. It's working also very late at night or actually to the very hours in the morning.

    You can fly from Prague or Vienna. The new airport terminal is under construction and soon it will be even nicer to fly here.

  • Ostrava is divided into four main zones:
    1 - centre
    2 - slezska Ostrava
    3 - Ostrava Zabreh
    4 - Ostrava Poruba
    In these zones the tickets are limited only by time, outside these zones the tickets are limited both by time and by number of zones you are going through.
    Tickets:
    15 minutes/1 zone
    45 minutes/2 zones
    60 minutes/3 zones
    90 minutes/4 zones
    105 minutes/5 zones
    120 minutes/6 zones
    From main railway station to the very centre it takes about 10 minutes (1 zone), from railway station Svinov to the centre about 15 minutes (1 zone).
    When travelling in Ostrava you can use bus, trolleybus or tram. It is cheaper to buy tickets in tobacco stores or in automatic machines then at the driver's.

    Trams, buses and trolleybuses are plentiful around the city and run regularly to the city centre for the main railways station. To use the trams you really need to purchase tickets in advance from either a machine or one of the many kiosks around the city. They are also available from the Tourist Information office. Tickets cover either: 15 minutes, 45 minutes or 60 minutes and the price increases accordingly. The same tickets can be used on all forms of public transport within the city.

    When you enter the vehicle make sure you validate your ticket in the machine.
