A Glassmaking Town on the Sázava
Světlá nad Sázavou lies on the Sázava river in the Vysočina region, southeast of Prague. Its chateau, rebuilt from a Gothic fort into a Renaissance hunting lodge, stands in an English-style park with ponds and pavilions, and has been open to visitors since 2014. Glassmaking is the town's long tradition, and a local art school still teaches glass, stone and ceramics.
A short drive south, Lipnice Castle rises above the village where Jaroslav Hašek, the author of The Good Soldier Švejk, spent his last years. Ledeč nad Sázavou, with its castle on a rock above the river, is nearby too. Coming to canoe on the Sázava or to stay in the countryside? Your driver takes you straight to your campsite, cottage or hotel.

Fares, waiting and larger groups
We Offer Three Fares
Waiting Charge
If the driver waits for you or you book a multi-stop transfer, for example while you visit one city before continuing to another, a waiting charge is added to your fare.
Minivan Special Offer
Many airport taxis take only three passengers and may not fit large bags in a sedan. We take groups of up to four passengers with their luggage in a larger vehicle at a special price: choose “Minivan” (4 seats) when you book online. The offer does not apply to groups of five or more, who travel by minibus at the standard price.
