Venue and travel
The best way to get to the Czech Republic for participants from abroad who are travelling long distances to get here is air transport. The most important airports are located 200 - 250 km from Olomouc (for example Prague or Vienna), but it is possible to use a smaller one (Brno, Ostrava). All of the other airports are connected with the town of Olomouc by railways and roads. It takes approximately 3 hours to get to Olomouc by train or by car from Prague and Vienna.
Travelling by train
Czech Railways has one of the densest railway networks in Europe. It offers comfortable, fast and affordable transport throughout the Czech Republic directly to your travel destinations. More information about Czech Railways (connections, ticket purchase etc.) are available on this link.

How to get from main train station in Prague to Olomouc train station
Once inside the main train station of Prague - Hlavni Nadrazi - go to the ticket counter or information center on the ground floor. Here you can buy the ticket for the train to Olomouc. We recommend a one way second class ticket on the "Pendolino" train (ICN fast train marked "SC" - journey to Olomouc takes approximately two hours) ) or Euro City train (marked "EC", journey takes approximately three hours ). Usually, there is a train every hour. You can look at the timetable for Czech trains and buy a ticket online at https://www.cd.cz/eshop/search.aspx?lang=E.
