Travelling Guide1) Prague Main Railway Station (train)
Most (if not all) international trains stop at Prague's main railway station (abbreviated as Praha hl.n in Czech).
Unfortunately, there is no direct rail connection to the village of Liblice itself. The nearest points with a railway
station are the village of Byšice (2 km east) and the town of Mělník (10 km northwest).
Shuttle transport to Liblice Castle will be provided by the organizers from these two stations at selectedtimes (to be specified in the final announcement), but adventurous souls can try a twenty-minute walk from
Byšice to Liblice through the untamed wilderness known as Bohemian countryside (route to follow).
a) Byšice option: To reach Byšice station take train Os 95XX (the last two numbers XX change from04 to 18 and are always even - e.g. 10, 12, 14…) in the direction of Mladá Boleslav station. Thetrain leaves every 2 hours starting at 7:46 (9:46, 11:46…) with the final two connections an hourapart at 19:46 and 20:46, respectively. The ride takes about an hour with 14 stops and the price of theticket is 97 CZK (3.8 EUR1).
b) Mělník option: To reach Mělník station take train Os 95XX (the last two numbers XX change from22 to 38 and are always even - e.g. 30, 32, 34…) in the direction of Mělník station (Mělník is thefinal stop so you cannot miss it 😊). The train leaves every 2 hours starting at 6:46 (8:46, 10:46…)
with the final two connections an hour apart at 18:46 and 21:46, respectively. The ride takes about anhour with 16 stops and the price of the ticket is 111 CZK (4.4 EUR1).

Travelling Guide

2) Václav Havel Airport (plane)a) Uber: The most convenient way to get from the PRG airport
to Liblice Castle is to hire an Uber/Taxi. It is possible to ordera car for up to 6 people, so if you are traveling in larger
groups, you can more easily split the costs, which range fromaround 55 to 75 EUR1, for 4-person and 6-person rides,respectively. The UBER cars can be pre-booked on our side
so you can send us2 information about your arrival and thesize of your group and we will take care of everything.
b) Direct Bus + Train: The second option is to get to the Main
Railway station and follow the steps for train transport. The
aptly named bus stop Terminal 1 is located right in front ofthe Terminal 1 arrival hall (flights outside the SchengenArea), so you can’t miss it. There you can take the special line
AE (Airport Express), which goes directly to the Main
Railway Station every 30 minutes. Tickets are purchasedfrom the driver (card payment possible) or in the arrival halls at the Information centers – the standard
fare is 100 CZK ≈ 3.94 EUR. The AE bus stops right in front of the Main Railway Station building.
Once there, follow the steps for those arriving by train. If your flight is to Terminal 2 (flights within
the Schengen Area) see the simplified map above to get to the Terminal 1 bus stop as line AE doesn’tstop at Terminal 2. The two terminals are connected, so you can transfer to Terminal 1 without leavingthe building.
c) Bus + Metro + Train: The cheapest but more complicated way is to use regular Bus lines then change
to the metro (Prague metro map provided below) and finally train. At bus stops Terminal 1 or 2 taketrolley bus Line 59 to Nádraží Veleslavín (the final stop so you cannot miss it). Here you change toMetro Line A (the nearest entrance should be on your right) in the direction of Depo Hostivař to thestation Muzeum. At the Muzeum, transfer to Metro Line C for one stop (direction of Letňany) toHlavní nádraží (Main Station). Tickets are cheaper than the line AE (only 40 CZK ≈ 1.58 EUR) andcan be purchased from ticket vending machines located throughout both terminals and directly at busstops. Most ticket machines accept contactless credit card
payments. Tickets can also be purchased via SMS or theLítačka mobile app (QR codes for the app installation areprovided →). Please note that the route takes 40-45 minutes,
so you need to buy the 90-minute ticket for 40 CZK as thecheaper version for 30 CZK lasts only 30 minutes! Also, don’t
forget to mark your paper tickets once inside the bus.
Exact prices might be subjected to changes due to the time of the reservation, availability, currency convert rate, and Uber/ČD price changes

12Travelling Guide3) Prague Main Bus Terminal (bus)
If you travel by bus (e.g. FlixBus or RegioJet), you will most likely end up at UÁN Praha, Florenc (MBTPrague, Florenc). If not, good luck 😊. From the Florenc station you will need to get to the Main Railway
station as in previous cases. You can either take the Metro (only one stop by red C line) or walk for 20 minutes.
a) Metro: After exiting the main building of Bus Terminal Florenc ontoKřižíkova Street look for the nearest pedestrian crossing (one should beon the left), cross it, and continue left looking for the nearest entrance into
Metro line C (red) station Florenc (there should be at least two entrancesmarked by white arrow signs on red/crimson background). The map belowshows two possible entrances to the Metro station. Tickets can be purchasedin the terminals in the station (or via SMS or the Lítačka mobile app – for details see previous pageof the guide). Buy the cheapest option for 30 CZK (30-minute ticket) as the route takes only 2minutes. Don’t forget to mark the ticket before entering the station area as unlike buses/trams there
is no option to do it inside metro trains! Take line C in the Háje direction for one stop to station
Hlavní nádraží (Main Station). From Prague Main Station, follow the train travel guide.

b) Walk: It is possible to walk from the Florenc stations to the Main train station on foot instead ofusing the Metro lines (if you want to save 30 CZK or like walking through urban hellscapes citycenters). The walk takes about 20 minutes (at an average speed of 4-5 km/h), and a detailed
explanation would be too long. If you are interested, the Google Maps route is provided here.
Alternately, the coordinates of the start and finish of your track are (50.090051, 14.440147), and(50.084151, 14.434108), respectively.
