This is a short information for those participants of the EP2DS-14, who will come to Prague either by an airline or by train and who want to use public transport to reach the hotel PYRAMIDA by a safest and cheapest way. All the routes described below can be covered by one ticket, i.e. by the basic fare of 12,- Kč. The ticket is valid in all kinds of public transport for 60 minutes (90 minutes on Saturdays and Sundays) and you can change lines as you wish. You have to buy the ticket before entering the vehicle and cancel it immediately after entering a vehicle for the first time (at the moment, time and date is stamped on the ticket).
| A1 : | Take bus 119 to the other end of the
line near the Metro station DEJVICKÁ. Walk about 150 m to
the terminal of another bus 217 (or 149). Leave the bus
in the station MALOVANKA next to the hotel PYRAMIDA. |
| A2 : | Use the bus 179 and do not leave it until it stops at the station VYPICH. Nearby you will find a tram station (direction to the centre ). Take tram 8 (heading for NADRAŽÍ VYSOČANY) or tram 22 (direction NÁDRAŽÍ HOSTIVAŘ) to the station MALOVANKA. |
Two most important railway stations in Prague are HLAVNÍ (means CENTRAL) and HOLEŠOVICE. Both lay on the same line C of the Metro and the instruction below holds for both.
Take Metro C and go to the station Museum, where you have to change for Metro A, direction Dejvická. You have then two nearly equivalent alternatives. First, you go out at the station MALOSTRANSKÁ. Take tram 22 (dir. BÍLÁ HORA) or tram 23 (dir. MALOVANKA) until the station MALOVANKA. Second, go with Metro A one more station, leave it at HRADČANSKÁ and change for the tram 8 (dir. BÍLÁ HORA). It takes you again to the station MALOVANKA next to the hotel PYRAMIDA.
Note: Please, beware of pickpockets who sometimes appear in Metro and in tram lines 22 and 23.
