Like previous ones, the IENE 2024 conference is a rare and important opportunity for the European and international transport ecology community to come together. In our concern to preserve biodiversity, we are aware of the strong impact of climate change on humanity and ecosystems and we are aware of the contribution of transport to climate change. Therefore, the IENE Governing Board and the organizers urge participants to choose their means of transport to Prague in such a way to limit personal contribution to climate change.
Vaclav Havel Airport Prague is located 10 km west of the city centre. You can make your way from the Airport to our campus by city bus, airport shuttle, or taxi.
The city bus number 119, which brings passengers from the airport to Nádraží Veleslavín metro (underground) station is the cheapest option. The bus ticket costs only CZK 40 and is valid for 90 minutes (see details on a ticket), including any connecting public transport in Prague (buses, trams or metro). The 119 bus ends at Nádraží Veleslavín metro station, travel time to Nádraží Veleslavín is about 17 minutes, with interval time 5 to 20 minutes (depending on the hour). At Nádraží Veleslavín station, you get on a metro and travel two more stations until Dejvická metro station. Select the subway exit in the direction of the train travel (for better orientation = the side without escalators). After climbing the stairs, follow the signs to Suchdol (on the left). At Dejvická take a bus number 107 or 147 and travel to the bus stop Zemědělská univerzita (Czech University of Life Sciences). The stop is announced on the bus public address system and you can also read it on the digital display. This journey takes around 10 minutes.
Taxi is the most expensive though fast way of getting to our university. The price for the way from Airport to the congress venue should be about 350 - 400 CZK (16 Euro). If you choose to travel from the Airport to our university by taxi, insist that the taxi driver travels via the town of Horoměřice (the fare is around 350 CZK). The other way is via Dejvická (Dejvice), it is much longer and costs about double!
