How to get there
The location of Computing and Information Centre is really suitable. There is a good connection from/to the airport in less than 30 minutes. When using public transportation, bus 119 plus metro, or tram is available. CESNET premises are very near the venue. See the map and instructions on Google Maps.
- From the airport:
- Bus no. 119 (stop is in the middle of the car park outside the arrival hall, just walk straight and look for the signs) will take you to the Metro station “Nadrazi Veleslavin” (15 minutes). Bus 119 ends here, so don’t worry. Change to Metro (subway) and go two stations in direction “Depo Hostivar” to the station “Dejvicka”. The bus comes quite frequently—see the time table. You have to buy a general public transport ticket and stamp it inside the bus. The tickets are sold at yellow vending machines in all metro stations or tram stops and newspaper kiosks for 32 CZK (about 1.2 Euro).
- From anywhere else:
- Use subway (Metro). Go to the line A and then to the Dejvicka station. Plans of Metro lines are available on stations and inside trains (above every door).
