Route from Prague Airport to Alchymist
The drive to Alchymist
Alchymist is at the top of Tržiště, the lane that climbs from Malostranské Square towards the embassies below the castle. The car comes up from Karmelitská and stops at the Baroque doorway; the lane is steep and cobbled, so the driver carries the cases in.
About Prague Airport
Until 5 October 2012 the airport was called Prague Ruzyně Airport, after the district it stands in. That day it was renamed Václav Havel Airport Prague in honour of the playwright and first president of the Czech Republic; locals still often just say Ruzyně.

The airport has three terminals. Terminal 1 handles flights from outside the Schengen area — the UK, the USA, Israel, Turkey and others — and has passport control. Terminal 2 handles flights within Schengen. Terminal 3, on the far side of the airfield, serves private and charter aircraft. Terminals 1 and 2 are joined by a walkway, about five minutes on foot.
In the public area of Terminal 2 there is a Billa supermarket, open 6:00–21:00 on weekdays and 7:00–21:00 at weekends — useful for water or a snack after the flight. Directly opposite Terminal 1 stands the Courtyard by Marriott Prague Airport hotel. For drivers there are the P1 and P2 Express car parks in front of the terminals (one free stop of up to 10 minutes a day), short-term parking at 80 CZK an hour, and long-stay car parks from 790 CZK for eight days booked online.
About Alchymist Grand Hotel and Spa

The hotel occupies a Baroque house known as U Ježíška, the House at the Infant Jesus, first recorded in 1548; according to the hotel, the lower part of its courtyard tower may go back to the fortification of Malá Strana in 1257, and the spa is set in the old cellars.
The name recalls the alchemists who gathered at the court of Emperor Rudolf II. One real resident is documented: the young historian František Palacký lived here from 1823 to 1825 when he first came to Prague.
