In Prague
Where it starts
We start in Respirium at CIIRC, CTU in Prague.
České vysoké učení technické v Praze
Český institut informatiky, robotiky a kybernetiky
Room RESPIRIUM
Jugoslávských partyzánů 1580/3
160 00 Praha 6, Dejvice
There will be signs from the entrance guiding you upstairs via the glass staircase. Respirium is at the top of those stairs.
How to get there
By car
We have three reserved parking spaces: 12, 13, and 14. Please contact us if you need parking.
By public transport
Please use Google Maps for the best current public transport connection to CIIRC / CTU in Prague.
Public transport
You need a valid ticket when travelling on Prague public transport, including the metro, buses, and trams. You can buy tickets:
- As paper tickets at ticket sales points and ticket machines.
- In the PID Lítačka app.
- By SMS (requires a Czech SIM card with premium SMS enabled).
Validate a paper ticket before entering the metro paid area or immediately after boarding a tram or bus, unless it is already issued with a validity time. With an app or SMS ticket, make sure the ticket is valid before you travel.
If you plan to explore Prague more extensively, we recommend a 24-hour or 72-hour ticket, or a longer-term pass, instead of buying individual tickets for each journey.
If you need help buying a ticket, ask one of the Czech participants or organisers — they will be happy to help.
