why prague

share

It's no coincidence that Prague is among the top five most desirable congress destinations in the world. Its safety, cultural wealth and exceptional atmosphere make it an ideal meeting place, while its compact size makes it easily walkable, and it has some of the best public transport in the world. But the main attraction is its bohemian vibe, which reflects the soul of Prague’s creative and unconventional residents. Accept our invitation to the city where geniuses such as Kepler, Einstein, Doppler, and Mach created and explored, and where discoveries such as contact lenses, nylon, the propeller, nanofibers, and even the word ‘robot’ were launched into the world. We welcome all those who want to be inspired by the unconventional soul of Prague to create, explore or even put down roots.

unconventional conventions

Where better to host your next event than in the heart of Europe, where centuries of creativity meet world-class convention infrastructure? Prague, a city of music, myths, and modernity, is consistently ranked among the world’s top five most sought-after congress destinations. Safe, walkable, and effortlessly connected, it offers an unforgettable blend of historic charm and cutting-edge innovation.

connected and accessible

Prague’s location makes the city easily accessible to travellers from almost every country. The city is served by an internationally awarded airport, offering direct connections to 165 destinations, including all key European cities, the United States, the Middle East, and East Asia. As a member of the European Union and the Schengen area, Prague provides seamless travel for delegates. There are no visa requirements for citizens from 89 countries, making access to Prague simple and stress-free for most international visitors.

Seventy-five airlines fly from Václav Havel Airport, with nearly 17 million passengers passing through its gates annually. The city’s public transportation system, ranked among the best in the world, ensures everything can be reached within minutes.

a city of timeless choices

Prague is not only rich in architectural monuments, cultural heritage and historical sights, but is also modern and dynamic. The city offers many options: you can hold a meeting in one of the monumental historical palaces or in a comfortable contemporary venue, both equipped with state-of-the-art technology.

You can have a traditional Czech dish with a pint of beer in a centuries-old brewery or enjoy fine dining in a Michelin-starred restaurant. You can take a historical tram ride or use the efficient public transportation system. All this together makes Prague an extraordinary, attractive place ideal for all types of meetings and incentive programs.

sustainable

Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic, a country ranking 8th in the global Sustainable Development Goals 2023 Index. It also tops the lists of the world’s greenest cities. Prague is very compact and easy to walk, with one of the best public transportation systems. Yet, the air and noise pollution from the road traffic are still the main challenges the city has been facing, gradually taking measures to eliminate it. The City of Prague supports green events by offering free or discounted public transportation tickets for congresses and conference delegates.

Since 2020, the City Council has committed to supporting only events that use reusable cups, plates, and dishes, making Prague a leader in sustainable event management.

an experience beyond the congress

According to Time Out, Prague is the second most culturally vibrant metropolis in the world. And no wonder. Against the backdrop of magnificent architecture, it comes alive with theatre, music, and gastronomy festivals, an alternative scene, and even new circus.
Your palette of leisure experiences can be as colorful as you wish. Prague will tell you its thousand-year-old story at every turn. In our galleries, you’ll find works by Dürer, Picasso, Warhol, or Hirst, as well as outstanding Czech modernists like Kupka, Toyen, or Filla. Nowhere else in the world will you find so many cubist buildings and interiors as in Prague. Watch city life from cafés and restaurants once frequented by Kafka, Einstein, or Havel. Take a stroll along our riverbanks and through our parks, each one offers something breathtaking.
