Transportation
Ostrava-Mosnov International Airport is about 30 minutes away from Ostrava by bus. Most visitors, though, arrive to the city by train from Prague, which takes about 4 hours, Brno (2 hours), Olomouc (1 hours). It is also relatively close from Vienna, Bratislava and Warsaw. Despite several attempts to begin building of the D47 highway, Ostrava still lacks a modern highway and visitors coming by car have to choose regional roads instead.
Getting around the city itself is easy using the public transportation. Ostrava is one of the few Czech cities to have all the three types of public transportation common to Czech republic: buses, trams, as well as trolleybuses.
