                                             Saturday, July 6, 2002, at 16:30 (4:30 p.m.)

          from the place located near the building of

               Faculty of Mathematics and Physics,
               Charles University,
               Sokolovska 83,
               PRAHA 8 - Karlin

          The transportation from Prague to Trest and back is a part of the conference service.

          The building of the faculty will be opened from from 9 a.m., so you can leave your luggage there to have some walk, or just relax, have
          coffee, tea and cake, meet the organizers and ask questions, etc.

          See the map of the whole Prague below to get an idea of the part of the city in which the faculty building is located (marked by the red
          rectangle):
 
 








        On the following map, the part of the city marked by the red rectangle above is magnified to the full size. Another red rectangle gives you
        still better approximation of the location of the faculty building. As you can see, it is pretty near to the center of the city - the main square
        (Vaclavske namesti) is marked by yelow circle.
 
 





       Another enlargement of the red square onto the full size map gives you the overview of the local situation. The building of Faculty of
       Mathematics and Physics is located approximately 100 meters from the metro station KRIZIKOVA (line "B", or the "yellow line" of the
       Prague metro system):
 
 



 
 
 

          To get to the Faculty building from the airport you can take bus No. 119 from the airport to the metro terminal DEJVICKA, (line A - the
          green one), use line A to MUSTEK and change lines to the line B (the yellow line). Then you use line B, direction CERNY MOST, to
          the station KRIZIKOVA. The whole trip from the airport to KRIZIKOVA takes about 1 hour.

          All main railway stations are directly connected to the metro net, and you should reach the meeting point within 30 minutes from any of
          them. We recommend to consult city maps and other information available on metro stations. In case of any trouble please contact the
          organizers on the local phone number 21913220.

          The price of taxi from the airport to the center should not exceed 500,- CZK (approx. 16,- Eur). Ask for a preliminary
          estimate of the price and in case of any doubts also for receipt. Please do not pay any exorbitant amount. Our best experience is with ProfiTaxi
          (local phone 14035).

          For individual transport we give the following hints. If you go by car from Prague, follow highway D1 from Prague toBrno, exit to Jihlava and
          then follow road no. 639 to Kostelec u Jihlavy and then no. 406 and local signs toTrest. Your destination is Zamecky hotel Trest.

          By train from Prague you change twice: Once in  Jihlava or Veseli nad Luznici and then, in both cases, in  Kostelec u Jihlavy and the whole trip
          takes about 3 h 30 min. The interval of trains is approximately 2 hours.
