Conference Site
The ECLIM 2000 conference will take place in the Hotel Pyramida which is less than ten minutes’ walk from Prague Castle. In June it can be very pleasant to walk to the nearby parks in the Strahov and Petrin hills, where visitors may relax or visit the gothic monastery and other monuments and a 60-m high view tour, or from which they may descend downtown Prague by a funicular. Hotel Pyramida is situated near the way from the Ruzyne airport to downtown Prague, and is easily accessible by the municipal public transport.
Air Travel There are numerous direct international flights available from a multitude of cities over the whole world. For timetables and other information see for instance the CSA (Czech Airlines) website or contact other carriers. Trains and Buses It
is easy to get to Prague by train from almost the whole Europe
but sometimes it is necessary to change more than once. Therefore
in most cases it is easier and quicker to use the bus transportation
or the combination of both of them. There are direct coach services
from many European cities operated by several companies.
If
you do not wish to book a hotel via the ECLIM organisation service,
you can make hotel reservation for example with the help of
the CSA website
or through the Prague
Information Service.
Most
of ECLIM 2000 participants will not need a visa to
enter the Czech Republic; this is for instance true for participants
from majority of European countries, and for the USA, Canada
and Japan.
The
name of the local currency is Czech Crown (Kc
for short). Recent exchange rates (mid-February): 1 USD = 36.25 Kc
The
mid-June belongs to the most pleasant periods in Prague, usually
with mild-weather and a temperature typically around 20 degrees C
(68 degrees F).
