 Transport from the airport

Participants are asked to make their own travel arrangements. From the airport, the National Technical Library is comfortably reached by bus or taxi.  

By bus

The buses of the line 119 leave the Airport approximately every 10-20 minutes between 04:00 and 23:30 from bus stations at both Terminal 1 - exit F and Terminal 2 - exit E and takes you next to the entry to the metro (underground line A terminus Dejvická). The ride takes about 25 minutes. You have to buy the ticket before boarding the bus at ticket vending machines in the terminal hall or at the newsstand at 26 CZK. You can use also the Airport Express - AE line that terminates at the same place, departs from the airport each 30 minutes and rides non-stop from the airport to the metro; tickets at 30 CZK at the driver.

By taxi

We recommend you to take a yellow taxi (AAA or 111) that can be found immediately outside of both terminals. It takes about 10 minutes to arrive to Dejvice at about 400 CZK.

 Transport to the city centre

Travelling to the centre is most convenient by metro (line A, three stops to the downtown station Staroměstská“ and five stops to the top of Wenceslas square station Muzeum). Alternatively, you can use tram number 20, from which there are nice views when passing the Prague Castle

 

There are two kinds of tickets: all-day ticket is valid for 24 hours and single-trips ticket for 60 minutes following its validation in the stamping device in a tram or a bus or at the entry to the metro transit area. The tickets are valid in all kinds of public transport - metro, bus or tram. They can be purchased in the vending machines, at some metro stations, at tobacconist's and some newspaper kiosks.

If you stay in a distance from the conference place, it might be a reasonable choice to buy a 3-day (330 CZK) or 5-day (500 CZK) transport pass. Do not forget stamping it on the first boarding bus or entering metro, without stamp it is invalid!
