How you get from Prague airport to the railway station:

The best way is to take the AirportExpress bus. You find the stop in front of the airport (2nd curb, slightly to the right). The bus leaves every 30 min. You need to buy a ticket from the bus driver; the cost is 60 CZK (you need Czech currency, which you can get at the airport). You may be interested to know that the final stop of the bus is the main railway station ("Hlavni nadrazi", = > hl.n.). The bus stop is situated at the opposite side of the station and you will use a lift to go down to the main hall.

 

How you get from Prague to Olomouc:

You will take an express train from the main train station. Please, find appropriate ticket
counter and buy one way ticket to OLOMOUC (the right pronunciation is “Olomoutz”, not “Olomuk”).  

Please, note that the LEO Express and RegioJet trains have different ticket offices than the Czech Railways (ČD). You may buy some food on the train, but you may wish to buy something to eat and drink at the station, where you have a bigger choice.
