Practical Hints

Arriving by plane

The Prague-Ruzyně Airport, located 15 km from the city center, is served by many international airlines. The cost of a taxi from the Ruzyně Airport to the City is at present about 20 EUR. The shuttle bus service operates as well. City bus No. 119 will take you from the airport to the metro terminal Dejvicka, which is near the campus of the Czech Technical University.

Arriving by train or by car

Prague can be easily reached by rail as well as by car. If you arrive by train, you will find a metro station on line C at the Central Railway Station as well as at the Holesovice Railway Station.

City transportation

Prague has a comprehensive network of public transportation consisting of three metro lines, trams and buses. Single tickets or travel passes can be purchased at most newspaper stands and from the coin machines at metro stations.

Car rental

Most of the major car rental companies (e.g. Hertz, Avis, Sixt) have their offices in Prague. Detailed information is available from the conference secretariat. We strictly recommend making reservations in advance.

Parking

The Czech Technical University in Prague has its own parking lot free of charge.

Visa policy

Participants from most European countries and the USA can enter the Czech Republic without a visa. Other participants are advised to check the requirements at the closest Embassy or Consulate of the Czech Republic and to make their own arrangements. An official letter of invitation can be sent on request. It must be understood that such a letter cannot grant any financial support.

Insurance

The Organizing committee will not accept any liability for personal injuries or loss or damage of property belonging to conference participants and accompanying persons. Kindly check your personal insurance.
