We don´t provide the accommodation service. Accommodation has to be directly reserved by the participants via official websites, e.g., www.praguewelcome.cz / services / accommodation. We also list several hotels and students dormitories near to the conference venue.

Transport in Prague

Information about  all means of transport is published on Prague official web: http://www.praguewelcome.cz/en/travel/
Information about public transport: http://www.ropid.cz/?Lang=en.
Due to closures at the time of the conference, Metro, tram and city buses will operate differently from than your city maps and guides show. Direct connection between airport and the conference venue (bus 179) remains unchanged. If you need travel from railway stations (Praha hlavní nádraží, Praha Holešovice) to the conference venue or from the airport or the conference venue to the City, please check the info about changes.
From the last day of the conference (5 July), Metro service will be restricted, what does not affect connection from the conference venue to the airport, but complicates connection from the City to both the conference venue and the airport.

Special congress tickets for reduced price for 2 - 5 July will be available to the participants.
