The conference will be held on the campus of the Czech University of Life Sciences (Česká zemědělská univerzita, CZU) in Praha - Suchdol on the northern edge city of Praha (50.1302 N, 14.3699 E ). The road distance to the Václav Havel Prague Airport is about 12 km, and it can be easily reached by public transport (bus, metro) and/or by taxi (inluding Bold, Livago, etc).

*

The Václav Havel Airport is located 15 km west of the city centre. You can make your way to our university from the airport via public transport or taxi.

A public transport ticket costs 46 CZK. You have to buy it in advance, it’s not possible to buy it on the board (only in selected vehicles, payment only by credit card). The tickets are valid for transfers to all public transport in Prague (buses, trams, metro, some trains in Prague and the cable car to Petřín) for 90 minutes (see details on the ticket). From the Václav Havel Airport, take trolley bus 59, which will take you to the Metro A Veleslavín station. From the Veleslavín station, take the metro two stations towards Skalka/Depo Hostivař all the way to the Metro A Dejvická station.

The complete price list of the public transport can be found at pid.cz/tarif-web/?lang=en

If you are travelling in a larger group and you decide to go by taxi, ask about the price before you get in and insist that the driver drives to Suchdol via Horoměřice (it should cost about 350 CZK), instead of going twice as far via Dejvice (700 CZK). Refuse any taxi that wants to go via Dejvice.

Metro and Buses in Prague

The Prague Metro has three lines: A (green), B (yellow), and C (red). To reach our university, take line A (green) to Dejvická station. From here, using the same ticket you purchased or the metro, get on bus 107 (heading to Suchdol) or 147 (heading to Výhledy). Both stop at Kamýcká or Zemědělská univerzita. The bus ride takes about 10 minutes.

Travelling by train

Most passengers coming to Prague via train will arrive at one of Prague’s two large central stations: The Main Train Station -Hlavní nádraží (Wilsonovo nádraží), or the Holešovice station. Both stations are on Metro Line C (red). The Main Train Station is usually the terminal station for trains arriving from the west or from the east (Paris, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Zurich, Warsaw, Moscow), and the Holešovice station for trains from other directions (Berlin, Dresden, Vienna, Budapest, Zagreb). To get to the Dejvická station, first take the C line (red) metro to the Muzeum station and then transfer to the A Line (green) and make your way to the Dejvická station.

*

Travelling by long-distance bus

Passengers travelling via long distance bus from any direction, country or part of the Czech Republic will arrive at the Florenc bus station, which is right next to the Florenc metro where two metro lines intersect (B = yellow and C = red).

It is a very short trip to the Dejvická station via the metro line B first to the Můstek station, where you will transfer to line A (green), and from there you will make your way to the Dejvická station.
