Travel

By plane

There is an international airport (Václav Havel Airport, PRG) approximately 10 km from the city centre, which is accessible by direct flight from most European cities. From the airport, you can reach the city using bus 119, which stops directly in front of the departure halls.

By train

Prague Main Station (Praha hlavní nádraží in Czech) is located in the very city centre, and Prague underground (red line C, stop Hlavní nádraží) can be entered directly from the station's main hall.

By bus

Prague Main Bus station is located at the crossing of yellow line B and red line C, one-stop far from the main train station.

Public transport

Prague has quite a dense system of public transportation. To plan your travels, we recommend the use of the official PID Litacka app, where also tickets can be bought. It is also possible to use Google Maps to check your connections. The price of a ticket is 40 CZK per 90 minutes, and there are also 24/72 hours tickets available with a discount. Public transportation tickets can also be bought at a ticket machine, which also accepts credit/debit cards. We cannot recommend using a taxi in Prague. If it is absolutely necessary, use some application such as Uber, where the price is known in advance.

Venue

The summer school will take place at the modern building of the Faculty of Information Technology at the campus of the Czech Technical University in Prague. The campus is located right at the metro station Dejvická which also has multiple tram and bus options.

Accommodation

As Prague ranks among the safest cities in the world, you can feel confident that almost any choice of accommodation will provide a secure stay during the conference. Additionally, Prague boasts an efficient and affordable transport network, ensuring easy access to the conference venue. However, it is advisable to book your accommodation in advance to secure your preferred option. Here are a few recommended choices:

• On-campus accommodation is available directly at the university. You can make reservations through the university's website at university webpage. We recommend considering the Masaryk Dormitory Hotel or any of the Prague 6 Hostels, as they are conveniently located within walking distance of the conference venue and easily accessible from the airport. This option tends to be the most cost-effective.
• Any accommodation in the Dejvice district will be within walking distance of the conference venue and even major attractions such as Prague Castle.
• The conference venue is easily accessible from the city centre using public transport, with a journey time of approximately 10 minutes.
• If you prefer to be closer to nature, consider selecting accommodation around Divoká Šárka or Stromovka. Both locations offer a serene environment, while still providing convenient access to the city centre and the university via public transport, which takes around 10 minutes.

Restaurants & Bars

There are many restaurants, cafes, bars, and breweries within walking distance of the university. Below, we provide some recommendations of nice businesses for different opportunities.
