Havířov, being a relatively compact city, offers travelers a pleasant walkable environment, particularly in its central areas. Most daily errands and visits to main attractions can be accomplished on foot, as they're conveniently located near each other. While the city's modern design provides accessible amenities, some areas are less pedestrian-friendly, and finding specific resources like coworking spaces or cafes may require short commutes.

Havířov provides a decent public transport system with buses and trams that cover the city and link it to larger Czech cities. Its connection by train to Prague is also noteworthy. However, the frequency and coverage of the local public transit might not be extensive, which means travelers could occasionally need to rely on walking or taxis for reaching more remote destinations.

For those who prefer biking, Havířov supports this mode of transport well, with schemes like Nextbike offering shared bikes readily available across the city. The city’s layout makes cycling manageable, particularly in the lowland areas, although the terrain slightly increases in difficulty towards the south into the foothills. Shared bike availability from March to November encourages a sustainable travel option.
