There’s a certain thrill to turning a layover in Kunovice into a quick city adventure. From UHE, the Local Bus / Taxi can get you into town in around 45 minutes. Below, we’ll walk you through transport, budget, bags, and what’s actually worth seeing.
What to Know Before Leaving the Terminal
Stepping out of the airport during a layover takes a little preparation. Here’s what to keep in mind at UHE:
First, verify that you can enter Czech Republic — visa requirements depend on your nationality and can change. Second, know your timing: the Local Bus / Taxi takes about 45 minutes into Kunovice, so add that up for the round trip plus security buffer. Third, have your payment sorted — CZK is the currency here. Avoid exchanging money at the airport if you can — city-center ATMs usually give you a better deal.
How to Get Into Kunovice
You have two main options for getting from Kunovice Airport into town:
- Local Bus / Taxi: About 45 minutes, affordable, and consistent. This is what we recommend for time-conscious travelers.
- Taxi or ride-share: Around 65 minutes in normal traffic. More comfortable for groups or heavy luggage, but pricier and less predictable.
Whichever you choose, keep the return journey in mind. Build in extra time — you do not want to be rushing through security.
Luggage Storage at UHE
Luggage storage options at UHE can vary. Rather than arriving and hoping for the best, look up nearby storage on platforms like Bounce or Stasher ahead of time.
Another option: if you’re only in Kunovice for a couple of hours, a compact bag that you can carry comfortably saves you the hassle altogether.
How Much Money You’ll Need
Here’s a rough breakdown of what a quick trip into Kunovice might cost in USD:
- Transport (round trip): ~$6 USD
- A meal: ~$11 USD
- Miscellaneous: ~$10 USD
- Estimated total: ~$27 USD
Keep some small bills handy for tips, street food, and public transport in Kunovice.
Exploring Kunovice on a Layover
For a layover visit to Kunovice, we’d suggest Uherské HradiÅ¡tÄ Town Square and Archeoskanzen Modrá. Neither requires a full day, and both give you a real taste of the area.
Accessible and enjoyable even on a short visit. It’s a popular stop for visitors with limited time in Kunovice.
Staying airside? That’s fine too. Inside UHE, you can spend time at Kunovice Aviation Museum or try Aircraft Spotting & Observation. Sometimes the best layover is a calm one.
Where to Grab a Meal
Two dining recommendations if you’re heading into Kunovice: KonÃrna Uherské HradiÅ¡tÄ and Hostinec U MedvÄda. Both are accessible without a huge time commitment.
Staying at the airport? Look for Restaurace Kunovická Letka or Airport Café. Airport food may not be glamorous, but it’ll keep you fueled up for the next leg.
Staying Connected
You’ll find free WiFi at UHE for basic browsing. If you plan to navigate Kunovice or use ride-hailing apps, having mobile data is much more convenient. Consider setting up an eSIM through a provider like Airalo or Holafly before your trip — it takes a few minutes and saves you from hunting for SIM card kiosks.
Rest Areas & Lounges
Long overnight layover? Your options at UHE include terminal seating (look for areas away from the main walkways) and, if available, airport lounges with day passes. Some airports in Czech Republic also have transit hotels or sleeping pods — worth checking availability before your trip.
Final Thoughts
Not every layover leads somewhere interesting, but a layover in Kunovice genuinely does. There’s enough to fill a few hours with good food, interesting sights, and the kind of experience that makes a journey feel like more than just getting from A to B.
Make the most of it. You’ve got this.
