How to get there:
- By plane – take the bus no. 119 from the Letiste Ruzyne bus stop at the airport to Dejvicka metro station, then by metro line A to Jiriho z Podebrad.
From there it's several minutes of walk downhill to the tournament place. You can get a free map at the airport.
If you don't feel like walking, you can take a tram from Jiriho z Podebrad to Vinohradska trznice.
The whole trip should take 45 to 60 minutes. One public transport ticket costs 32 CZK (about 1.3 EUR) and is valid for 75/90 minutes (weekdays/weekend) with unlimited transfering between buses, trams, metro and even some trains, which means you can get from the airport to almost anywhere in Prague for just 1.3 EUR.
- By car – please use Google maps directions.
Warning: Parking in Prague can be tricky. Someone's car got towed on multiple occasions during tournaments. It is ALWAYS PROHIBITED to park at the blue-lined parking places. You can park at orange-lined and green-lined zones, they should be free on weekends, about 40 CZK/hr on weekdays, but each zone conditions' are unfortunatelly slightly different and therefore you need to study the vertical road sign at the beginning of a zone (for days paid and exact price).
