Prague - Hearth Of Europe

Prague, the mother of the cities. Medieval tales of mystery and love ...

Prague

Have you ever been to Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic? This beautiful city is situated on the river Vltava in central Bohemia. It has been the political, cultural, and economic centre of the Czech state for over 1100 years.

Prague is widely considered to be one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and is among the most visited cities on the continent. Since the Middle Ages, Prague has been known as one of the most beautiful cities of the world, and has been attributed adjectives such as "golden", "city of hundred spires", "the crown of the world", "a stone dream".

Since 1992, the extensive historic centre of Prague has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. According to the Guinness World Records, Prague Castle is the largest ancient castle in the world and besides many other sights is definitely worth visiting.

Plone Conference is your opportunity to do so!

Travelling to Prague

 

Prague Airport with its exceptional location in the centre of Europe is gaining in importance as a transfer hub which means that it is easily accessible from any country all over the world. In terms of the number of passengers served, Prague Airport is the biggest airport in the Czech Republic and in all the new European Union member countries and the second biggest in Central Europe. After the Czech Republic’s accession to the EU in 2004 and to the Schengen area in 2007 boarding flights to Schengen countries will take place without any customs and passport controls. Passengers can choose their most suitable means of transport such as City Public Transport, private cars, partner carrier vehicles or individual taxis.

A lot of Prague hotels offer complete conference service; air-conditioned conference rooms with latest hi-fi technology and enough capacity to hold conferences, meetings, presentations, receptions and also private events. The one that we have chosen as a suitable place for Plone Conference 2008:
