TRANSPORT

Public transport

In Prague, an integrated transport system (underground Metro, trams, and buses) operates without conductors. Tickets must be purchased in advance (exceptions given below) and stamped inside tram or bus, or before passing the gates of the Metro.

Most Metro stations are equipped with ticket machines. In buses, the most common 60-min tickets can be bought at the driver, but with additional charge of 3 Kč and for the exact change only. Tickets for 8 Kč for a single 15-min journey by tram or bus, or four-stop journey by Metro as well as transfer tickets for 12 Kč for a 60-min journey (90 min at night and on weekends) by all means of transport are on sale at the airport, at railway stations, newspaper stands and tobacco shops, at hotel reception desks, etc. The Metro runs from 05:00 till midnight.

How to reach the Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry (Prague 6, Petřiny area)

From the Hvězda student dormitory, take any of buses No. 179, 184 or 191 (direction of Petřiny or Letiště Ruzyně) to the ”Petřiny” stop (3 stops). You can also walk through Zeyerova Alej St. along the high-voltage line to the Institute (600 m).

From the Masaryk hall of residence of the Czech Technical University (Thákurova 1, Praha 6), take tram No. 2 (direction of Petřiny) as far as the terminus ”Petřiny” (11 stops, 15 min).

For more detailed and topical description, see the WWW page (http://www.imc.cas.cz/sympo/ginfo/). The map of Prague is available at http://mapy.atlas.cz.

How to reach the Hvězda student dormitory (Prague 6, Petřiny area)

The Hvězda student dormitory is located at the crossing of Ankarská, Zvoníčkova, Brunclíkova and Zeyerova Alej streets. The nearest bus stop is ”Nad Markétou”, which is located 50 m from the dormitory (150 m from its reception). The nearest tram stops are ”Vypich” (500 m), ”Větrník” (700 m), ”Obchodní dům Petřiny” (500 m).

From the Institute, you can either walk through Zeyerova Alej St. along the high-voltage line to the student dormitory (600 m), or take any of buses No. 179, 184, 191 (direction of Nové Butovice or Na Knížecí) to the ”Nad Markétou” stop (2 stops). The student dormitory is opposite to the stop.

How to reach the Masaryk hall of residence

From the Institute, take tram No. 2 in the direction of Červený vrch to ”Thákurova” stop (11 stops, 15 min).

From the city centre, take the Metro green line A to ”Dejvická” station, leave it through the direction of Evropská (that with escalators), exit Šolínova and walk 300 m westwards through Evropská or Zikova St. as far as Thákurova St. You can also take any tram in the direction of Červený Vrch - Divoká Šárka for 1 stop

Taxi

Taxis can be hired at the airport or the railway stations. The fare is max. 22 Kč per kilometre and 30 Kč is the boarding price within the city boundaries (2003 prices). We recommend checking the fare before entering a taxi.

Special transport

A special bus brings the participants from the Masaryk hall of residence of the Czech Technical University to the Institute in the morning only; the departure times are given on the notice board at the Registration Desk.

Air and railway transport

Prague has direct air links with most capitals in Europe and with many overseas countries. The international airport Praha is situated about 20 km from the city centre (9 km from the Institute). To reach the airport, we recommend bus No. 179 from the Institute and Hvězda student dormitory, bus No. 119 for connection from the "Dejvická" Metro station (line A) or bus No. 100 from the "Zličín" metro station (line B). Bus fare: 12 Kč (see Public transport above).

Buses operated by the CEDAZ Co. run to the airport from the city terminal near the Metro station "Náměstí Republiky" (line B) in 30-min intervals. Bus fare: 90 Kč.

International trains arrive at and leave from the following stations: Praha, hlavní nádraží (Main Station; Metro line C), Praha – Holešovice (Metro line C, "Nádraží Holešovice"), and Praha – Smíchov (Metro line B, "Smíchovské nádraží").
