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 “Můstek” (green(A)/yellow(B) line), “Staroměstká” (green line) and “Národní třída” (yellow 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 Staroměstská will bring you close to the main venue. The journey takes ca. 30–45 minutes in total. From the airport to main railway station in downtown you can also use non-stop AE (airport express) bus with special fare CZK 60,- (common tickets are not valid on this bus).
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.
