Background information

Dear all,
Few new things concerning our meeting in Brno, Czech rep., June 5th

We have changed the place of the meeting. So you can delete the map and instructions I have send you last time.

New place, where our meeting will be helt is called Environmental Partnership, Panska street no.7, Brno and is labeled by the no.1 at the map.

How to get there?

International coaches as well as airplanes from abroad arrive in Prague, however some of the international coaches continue to Brno as well. In Prague, You have to find bus station called Florenc, which is the point of departure of buses to Brno (companies: Student Agency, Cesky Narodni Expres - all the timetables are awailable at www.idos.cz). From Prague’s airport, there are buses going to Florenc. Count with at least 45 minutes for the way airport - Florenc. The bus trip from Prague to Brno takes 2,5 hours. Second possibility is to take train from Prague’s main train station. The train trip takes at least 3,5 hours. The bus is cheaper (140CZK/ approx.4,5 Euros), more comfortable and faster…Czech Airlines (www.csa.cz) provide free coaches to Brno (directly from airport) and back to the airport for those who have the ticket for Czech Airlines flight (not automatically, you have to ask for it). When you pay extra money (and it is really expensive), you can use their coaches even when using the flights of another company.
But several buses of Student Agency (www.studentagency.cz) depart from airport as well.

When you are in Brno

Below, You can find map with numbers showing important places. No.4 is the main bus station called Zvonarka (there you arrive by international coaches), no. 3 shows the main train station (“Hlavni nadrazi”), no. 2 is the bus station (in front of Hotel Grand) where you come if you take bus from Florenc or Prague’s Airport, no.1 (the square besides) shows the place of the meeting.
