The VESPA workshop will take place at the following location:

Institute of Atmospheric Physics CAS
Bocni II 1401a
14100 Prague
Czechia

Directions can be found here: http://www.ufa.cas.cz/contacts/how-to-get-to-us.html

The location is accessible:

  • by metro: take metro C (red line) until the ROZTYLY station. From there it is about 15 minutes walk.
  • by car (parking is possible) or taxi.

Useful informations about public transport in Prague can be found at the website of The Prague Public Transit http://www.dpp.cz/en/ (this site also includes a route planner in English).

Accommodation

The institute is conveniently reachable by metro C, so we recommend finding a hotel in the center of Prague, close to the metro line. There are hundreds of options that can be found on standard websites e.g. booking.com or Airbnb. If you prefer to stay close to the meeting venue, the closest option is Aureli Hotel Globus approximately 20 - 25 minutes walking to the IAP (5-10 minutes from the metro station Roztyly to the opposite direction).
