The approximate taxi fare from the airport to the city centre is 500–550 CZK. You can use airport partner taxi providers.

Since 2007 the Czech Republic has been a member of both the European Union and the Schengen area.
Citizens of EU countries can freely enter the Czech Republic.
Citizens of the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Japan and many other countries can stay in the Czech Republic for up to 90 days without a visa. Other nationalities should check current visa requirements with the Czech embassy in their home country prior to departure.
The Czech Republic is a member of the EU’s common border and customs area, the Schengen Zone, which imposes its own 90-day visa-free travel limit on visitors from outside the EU. In practice, this means your time in the Czech Republic counts against your stay within the entire Schengen Zone – plan your travel accordingly.
The organizers do not accept responsibility for individual medical, travel or personal insurance. All participants are strongly advised to arrange for an insurance cover before travelling to the congress.
