Brno Airport is just 8 km from the city center. The Czech Republic uses the Czech Koruna (CZK), with roughly 24.5 CZK = 1 EUR. Everything here is affordable.
The budget option: Bus 76
Bus 76 runs between the airport and the city center (Hlavni nadrazi). A 60-minute ticket costs 29 CZK (~1.20 EUR). You can buy tickets from machines at the stop or use the DPMB app. The ride takes about 25-30 minutes.
For two people: 58 CZK (~2.40 EUR). Absurdly cheap. The bus is clean, reliable, and runs every 20-30 minutes during the day.
The easy option: Taxi
A taxi from Brno Airport to the city center costs about 300-450 CZK (12-18 EUR). Brno isn't a tourist trap — taxi prices are fair and drivers use meters. You can also use the Bolt app for transparent pricing.

|---|---|---|
| Sedan | 1-3 passengers | 15-25 EUR |
| Minivan | 4-6 passengers | 25-40 EUR |
Honestly, the price difference between a taxi and a transfer in Brno is tiny. The transfer mainly adds the convenience of a driver waiting with your name and a fixed price.

Currency tips
- The Czech Republic is not in the Eurozone — you need CZK
- ATMs at the airport give fair rates. Avoid currency exchange counters
- Some taxis accept EUR but at a bad rate — pay in CZK
- Transfers are usually priced in EUR and charged to your card
Bottom line
Brno is incredibly affordable. Even a taxi is only 12-18 EUR. The bus is practically free at 1.20 EUR. Unless you're going to the Moravian wine country (Mikulov, Znojmo), there's no scenario where getting from BRQ to the city is expensive.
