How to get there

Transport from Prague Airport to the Conference venue

Public transport

Bus stops are situated directly in front of both airport terminals. Take the bus 119 to the end stop Nadrazi Veleslavin, then take metro (green line A) to Muzeum station, then change to red metro line C and take it to Ládví station. The journey takes approx. 1 hour.

Prague public transport is fast, efficient and frequent. Metro and most daily trams and buses operate every day from 5 AM till midnight. Night trams and buses (line numbers beginning with 9) operate throughout the night. Similar to most capitals, the concentration of picpockets is elevated, be aware in the historical centre as well as on your route from/to the airport.

Tickets:

Basic fare of 32 CZK (approx. 1.20 EUR) entitles the holder to use all means of public transport (Metro, trams, buses and cable car to the Petrin hill) for up to 90 minutes including unlimited number of changes. Cheaper fare of 24 CZK (approx. 0.90 EUR) entitles the holder to use the public transport for up to 30 minutes (daytime only; cheaper rate does not apply in night trams/buses). The ticket must be validated using a yellow box while entering the first bus or tram, or while first entering designated area in Metro. After validation, just keep the ticket with you.

Tickets can be purchased at:

Public Transport counters in Arrivals Halls of Terminals 1 & 2 (from 7 AM till 9 PM). Recommended option.
Ticket machines situated at the airport bus stops. New machines accept cash or card payment, older ones accept CZK coins only. Recommended option.
From a bus driver (petty cash required). Please note that a ticket purchased from a bus driver costs 40 CZK and the passenger should pay by coins or nominally small banknotes. For cashpoint withdrawals, we therefore recommend setting an amount not ending with thousands CZK (200 CZK is a typical monetary quantum a cashpoint can dispense).
In the city, tickets can be purchased at newsagents, tobacconists, hotel receptions, ticket machines in Metro entrance areas etc.

When entering the bus, remember to validate the ticket.

Taxi (Taxi Praha, Fix Taxi)

The journey from the airport to Ládví takes around half an hour and should cost around 700 CZK. The taxi rank of both official airport companies (Taxi Praha and Fix Taxi) is situated directly in front of the airport terminal. For the journey back, we strongly recommend ordering a taxi from your hotel reception rather than finding a cab in the street.

Transport from the railway stations to the Conference venue

All principal railway stations are situated along Metro stations. There are only 3 Metro lines in Prague (A, B, C) so it is not difficult to reach Ládví station (red line C).
If you decide to take a taxi, we strongly recommend ordering one rather than finding a cab in the street. For Taxi Praha, just call 14007 and wait 5–10 minutes until your taxi picks you up.
