Travel information

The public transport is recommended. It is quite reliable and safe, with the following prices (EUR 1,- = cca. CZK 26,-):
You can buy tickets in slot machines in the underground stations, in most newsstands, specialized public transport shops, Prague transport information centers at the airport and main railway station. You can use this link for searching public transport connections: spojeni.dpp.cz/ConnForm.aspx?cl=E5 . The closest underground stations to the main Venue are “Dejvická” (green(A) line) and “Hradčanská” (green line).
By plane
The comprehensive info how to travel from/to Václav Havel Airport (“Letiště Václava Havla”) can be found at www.prg.aero/en/transport-airport. You can either take an airport taxi (it should cost about CZK 600,-) or use public transport, which is way cheaper (and safe as well): take the bus line 119, direction Nádraží Veleslavín (“Veleslavín train station”) and change there to the underground green line A (direction “Depo Hostivař”), geting off at the station “Hradčanská” will bring you close to the main venue (10 min walk). The journey takes ca. 45 minutes in total.
By train
All the long-distance trains arrive to the main railway station (“Hlavní nádraží”), where you can find underground station connecting you with the rest of public transport system as well. You can get close to the venue by taking the red line C to the station “Muzeum”, there change to green line A, which will take you to the station “Hradčanská”.
