Anyone who thinks an airport is merely a place to board and disembark has probably never joined one of the special experience tours at Prague Václav Havel Airport. These tours reveal a behind-the-scenes world that amazes even frequent flyers.
Offered regularly, the tours give visitors the chance to see areas normally accessible only to authorised staff. You’ll be guided through the operational heart of the airport: from the bustling apron to the intricate baggage handling system and the most advanced airport fire station in the Czech Republic. A particularly thrilling moment is watching large aircraft take off or land just a few metres away – a guaranteed goosebump experience.
Fly Like a Pro
Another highlight for technology and aviation enthusiasts is the ‘Fly Like a Pro’ programme. Here, participants can step into the cockpit of a fully manoeuvrable, certified flight simulator. Whether it’s a Boeing 737 or an Airbus A320 – under the guidance of experienced airline pilots, the dream of flying becomes reality for an hour. These state-of-the-art simulators are among the best in the Czech Republic and are even used by professionals for training.
