TRAVEL & HOTEL INFORMATION How to find the Hotel Don Giovanni Transportation by taxi To get to the hotel Dorint Don Giovanni from the airport or the train station the best way is to take the hotel taxi. It is reliable and it does not take that long as to travel by the public transportation especially when the public transportation is still effected by the flood. Even the hotel cars have got a special license to drive through the areas which are normally closed for any other cars. The hotel taxi must be ordered in advance (phone +420-2-6703 1823, e-mail: [email protected]). When ordering the hotel taxi, the concierge will require full flight details, time of arrival and the name of the person being transferred. The drivers always await transported guests at the correct exit gate in the main hall with a name plate in their hands. Transportation costs by the hotel taxi to the hotel: From airport: 700,- CZK (app. 25,- Euro) From train station Holesovice: 320,- CZK (app. 12,- Euro).

From main train station: 270,- CZK (app. 10,- Euro) Other taxis are located directly at the airport, too.

Public transportation To travel by public transportation you have to get the tickets always in advance, it is not possible to buy them on the tram or on the bus. The price for one ticket is 12,- CZK, with this ticket you can travel within 1 hour - you can also change busses, trams and metro. Airport - Hotel Don Giovanni: By bus 119 from the airport to Dejvicka station, then change to a tram X-A to go to Nam. Miru and then take a metro A - 3 stops to Zelivskeho (Hotel Don Giovanni).

General Information about Prague (Hotel Information • Transport Information • Prague Culture • Tourist Tips an many more) http://www.prague-tourist-information.com

General information about the Public transport system in Prague The Public transport system in Prague is well developed, efficient and accessible. Travelers from the West will be surprised at how cheap it is. The system is based upon Metro, Trams and buses. Every corner of the city can be reached by one of the 3 forms of transport. Buses tend to be used for the more inaccessible areas whereas Metro and Trams are recommended for all central places. The Metro is very cheap, efficient and fast. The metro is divided into 3 lines A,B,C, respectively green, yellow and red. The metro starts at 5 o´clock in the morning and the last departure is around midnight. Tickets, for a single adults, cost 8 Kc and are valid for a single trip (only 4 stations). The ticket is still valid if you change to another metro line, but if you change to bus or tram another ticket must be purchased. Buses are used where there are no trams and follow the same ticket procedure as trams. Passengers may travel by means of public transit (PT) vehicles with valid tickets only. The passenger must purchase the ticket before entering the surface PT vehicle or before entering the transportation area of Metro or funicular to Petrín. The ticket is valid only if it has been stamped in the stamping machine, or if the pass has a time coupon enclosed with all required permanently legible data completed. Tickets are on sale in selected Metro stations, at news-agents, in PPT Information Centres, in hotels, travel agencies, department stores etc. Tickets can also be obtained from the ticket-machines placed near some surface transport stops and in Metro and funicular stations and their surroundings. Trams are surprisingly able to keep to time and if the timetable lists a particular interval the chances are that it will arrive as scheduled. Occasionally trams do get diverted across a different route and can catch out the unsuspecting traveller. Again there will be no ticket collector. Simply have your ticket stamped by the machine just inside the doors. Trams drive on every larger road and generally they stop at the metro lines. After midnight the night-trams drive about every 40th minute. 5
