TRAVELLING FROM/TO THE AIRPORT
1. Taxi – whenever using taxis in Prague (both at the airport and in the city), please be careful as taxi drivers sometimes try to scam tourists and charge them higher prices than they would locals. The airport offers both regular taxi service (taxi sign on car) and Uber airport. The price from the airport to the conference venue should be 300-600 CZK. You can also use a Czech app “Liftago”, which functions as an aggregate for licensed taxi drivers.
2. Public transport – to get to the venue by public transport, please take bus n. 59 from the airport. This bus terminates at the green metro line (“Nádraží Veleslavín”). The stop closest to the venue is then “Dejvická” on the same line. The venue is then approximately 5 min walk away. You can also use bus n. 59 and exit at “Divoká Šárka”. Here you can switch to tram n. 20, which will take you to “Thákurova” stop, just 1 min away from the venue. Both trips will take just over 30 min.
The public transport tickets cost 40 CZK (1.5 eur) for 90 minutes and 30 CZK (1 eur) for 30 minutes. You can check the approximate length of your trip on google maps or on the public transport website. There are also tickets for 24 and 72 hours should you wish to travel more throughout the day. Tickets can be purchased at all metro stations (by cash or card), some trams (by contactless card), as well as some newsstands. Please be advised that the printed paper ticket must be validated when you enter the vehicle or the metro corridor (utilising the small yellow boxes), otherwise it’s not valid and you can be fined.
At the airport, tickets can be bought (by cash or card) right by the stop in ticket machines.
