We arrive in Prague (not sure which station) at mid-day from Vienna and are staying at the Hilton Prague Old Town, V Celnici 7.
Also, are the taxis at the Prague train stations honest and work on a meter? I've heard/read that it's not good to take taxis that you simply hail on the street there.
Thanks for any further advice.
Note that you will leave Vienna from the Sudbahnhof and arrive in Prague at Holesovice. From here you can take a red metro line to Florence and walk from there or transfer to the yellow line at Florence and go to Namesti Republicky. Don't.. do NOT...take a taxi other than AAA taxis which you need to call for.
A metro ticket to Florence will be 18 CZK (short non-transfer), and 26 CZK for
full ticket.
