By plane

Getting from Vaclav Havel Airport to the venue:

Public transport. The easiest way is to take trolley bus no. 59 > "Divoká Šárka" and then transfer to tram no. 26 > "Masarykovo nádraží". The ride takes approx. 50 mins. The most convenient way to get your tickets is the official Litacka app (both iOs and Android). Paper ticket may be bought in the machine at the airport bus station (don't forget to validate your ticket once you enter the bus). The price for 90 minute ticket is 40CZK (approx. 1.60EUR). Should you wanna discover Prague more during your stay, you may wanna consider purchasing a 72-hour ticket for 330 CZK (approx 13.20EUR).
Taxi. Uber is the official taxi service of Vaclav Havel Airport. The ride takes 20 to 50 mins. depending on current traffic situation.

By train

The main train station is located just about 10-15 mins. walking from the institute.

The institute is located in the city center, close to quite a large number of hotels, including:

Electric sockets. Types C and E are official standards in Czechia. These are fully compatible with other standards used in EU.
Currency. The Czech crown (CZK) is the official currency of Czechia. That said, there's usually no need to exchange cash—vast majority of places accept card payments. If you really need to exchange money, be cautious (even at the airport) and always double-check the exchange rates. Don’t forget to ask for a receipt: you have up to 3 hours to return to the exchange office with your receipt and cancel the transaction if needed.
