- leboralLille, France1,411 contributionsThe museum is located at a military airport outside Prague. It is accessible by metro plus bus. It is free and offers an impressive collection of aircraft on display in hangars or outdoors. I couldn't find a second misindicated area, which is next to the main area. Allow at least two hours to go around. Too bad it is not highlighted and endowed with explanations.Visited August 2024Traveled soloWritten August 21, 2024
- dleung57Toronto, Canada438 contributionsMy senior husband is crazy about aviation museum and we travel to different ones. So far he likes this one the best. Not easy to maintain one and they don't charge for admission fee. This shows how they respect the aviation history!! It's very easy to take public transportation to reach the museum, subway and bus with few minutes walk. There are few buses and run very frequently. OH, senior over 65 ride FREE in Prague public transport!!!!!!!!!!Visited October 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten October 23, 2024
- Gianluca MMilan, Italy282 contributionsImpressive collection of aircraft partly outside and partly in the shed. Truly remarkable pieces the 109 and 262 single and two-seater produced by Avia. Many obviously Soviet aircraft. Unfortunately, there is little space and therefore they are somewhat sacrificed. Maintained by enthusiasts to whom my praise goes.

Well, first of all, entrance is free. And secondly, children and adults will enjoy the visit.
The aviation museum is on the outskirts of Prague, it can be reached by public transport or by car. It is located on the outskirts of the military airport. Some of the exhibits are in the open air, some in hangars. The exhibits describes the development of military aviation from the beginning of the 20th century to the turn of the millennium. Many old airplanes are set in dioramas that are very nicely done.
The old part of the museum, located a little further away, is currently closed and undergoing renovation.
I see the vastness of the collections and free entry as a big plus. Especially the exhibits from the First and Second World War are very well described. As a minus, I see insufficient facilities for visitors (there is only one snack stand in the black area) and we found only one toilet.
I definitely recommend visiting the souvenir shop at the end. Although I was skeptical, the service was very nice and the selection and quantity of goods, quality and price are unexpectedly great.

I visited here last week during my visit to Prague, and enjoyed the experience. The museum sits on the outskirts of Prague, so is far removed from a lot of the other attractions within the City. Nevertheless, I found it a worthwhile and fairly enjoyable visit.
There are lots of planes and artefacts from WW1 up to present day, including the re-entry capsule of Sojuz 28.

Decent amount of aircraft spanning from WW1 to 1980s. If you love gliders and trainer aircraft, this museum has the most I've seen! If you're interested in history of Czechoslovakian aviation, this is a must. If you think this is going to be comparable to the Museum of Flight in Seattle, very much not in the same league. Worth an easy trip from Prague, free entrance. Be aware the museum is split into two areas and street signage to the other part is lacking, just go by the map at the main entrance. Glad I went.

This museum is free to enter and will reward any visitor who cares to visit it. The staff are friendly and helpful and the place is well maintained. A large number of aircraft can be viewed here, including a Soviet Hind helicopter, Me-262’s and a Gloster Meteor, as well as MiG early jets. Obviously newer machines are currently in use, but it’s an excellent place to visit to see aviation history from early biplanes of the 20’s, up to the Soviet jets of the 80’s. Even those who are not aviation buffs will get enjoyment from this place and it is a welcome break outside of the hustle and bustle of the city centre of Prague.

An interesting place with not small variety of aircrafts. Most of the aircrafts located in tiny hangars, separated by time periods and some are outside. If you are a family with some boys who like big machines and military stuff or aviation enthusiasts - this museum is your place.

Being a modeller and an air enthusiast, this museum was in top position in my must list. It’s in the outskirts of Prague and preserves more than 200 airplanes, unique to my eyes. Air history in European skies before WWII and beyond is deployed right in front of you. IL-2 or IL-10, La fighters, I could not believe my eyes in getting so close to aircrafts that I knew from books and photographs. I enjoyed every single moment in this museum.

The Letecke museum of aviation in the Kbely section of Prague is located on the grounds of Prague's original airport. The museum is every day but Monday during April through October. It is about 5 miles from city center and it can be reached by taxi or Metro and bus. I took the Metro to the Ceskomoravska stop and took bus 185 outside. The museum entrance is about a 3 to 4 mile ride and there is a bus stop right outside. When I returned, I realized that I could take another bus to the Letany Metro station which was a shorter ride.
The museum consists of four building containing aircraft with the pre-WWII collection more complete than recent models which were primarily Russian vintage. Admission to the museum is free and there was a scarcity of English signage or airplane descriptions. There were a total of roughly 60 aircraft with a great many stuffed into the largest building which had propeller driven, gliders, heliocopters and an early model drone. A number of the aircraft had wings or other parts cut off in order to fit in the exibition.
I spent about 90 minutes at this museum and I found it interesting, but disappointing at the same time. It would help if they had more information in English and if they took better care of the larger aircraft that are parked outside.

First of all it't FREE! A bit far, take the metro red line till the end (Letnanny) and go by bus 8/9minutes. There is a restaurant and place to make a picnic. In the museum you have indoors exibitions of planes from the beginning of aviation history till the space race. You have a lot of fighters from the WWI, WWII and cold war (american, british, german and soviets). You also have some helicopters and cargo and passengers planes. It was nice to see a capsule from the Soyuz program and the first jet fighter Messerschmitt Me 262.
