TRAM

The best way to get to the conference from the hotels will be to take tram 9 from Wenceslas Square.  The tram stop is on Vodickova Street (about half way down Wenceslas Square, on the left as you head away from the Museum).  The tram runs from Wenceslas Square to VSE about every five minutes.  Get off the tram at Husinecká and then walk a short way back the way you came on Seifertova Street toward Namesti Winstona Churchilla (Winston Churchill Square).  Here you will see the entrance to VSE.

 

Here is the timetable for the 8:54 tram, arriving at Husinecká at 9:00:

You will need a 12 CZK ticket, available in the metro stations or from most kiosks on the street that sell magazines.  I recommend that you buy a multi-day pass for your entire stay.

 

Once you get to VSE, go in the front entrance, then up the stairs to the glass entry to the hall where this room is.

 

WALKING

The walk to VSE is uphill half the way and downhill half the way, and should take 20-30 minutes.  Here is a map with the walking route highlighted.

 

Directions: Walk up Wenceslas Square toward the Museum.  Enter the Museum metro station to go under Wilsonova Street, and exit next to the Museum on Vinohradska.  Follow Vinohradska away from the Museum to Italská Street.  Turn left on Italská and follow Italská until you reach Namesti Winstona Churchilla (Winston Churchill Square) and VSE.  Once you get to VSE, go in the front entrance, then up the stairs to the glass entry to the hall where this room is.
