Icebreaker

In order to show you Prague from different perspectives, we have planned our “icebreaking” meeting at Kasárna Karlín. The place is located in old military barracks that are being renovated and serve as a place for meetings, cinema, workshops etc. We have chosen it because of its friendly atmosphere and the possibility to stay outdoors or indoors (we are going to meet outdoors, but if rain comes, we can move inside).

The icebreaker starts at 19:00 – look for our colleagues with our conference’s sign. Make sure to bring your conference badge as it is your pass to free drinks at the bar (bar Garáže, you will see the sign). The open account should cover two drinks for everyone,

To get there from the Faculty of Science, take the tram 3 to the stop Florenc. From there, you it is 5–10 minutes’ walk. The address is Prvního pluku 20/2, Praha 8 (a big gate, you shouldn’t miss it).

City tour

Do not forget to register for the city tour at the registration desk. Meeting bor both tours is in front of the conference building at 16:45.

CITY TOUR 1: Classic city tour
If you are new to Prague, this may be ideal tour for you. The guide will take you from the conference building at Albertov to Karlovo náměstí, Václavské náměstí, Staroměstské náměstí, Charles Bridge and to Malostranské náměstí. The end of the tour is at Malostranské náměstí, which is a great spot for further exploration of Prague (Prague Castle is just up the hill) and its cafés (we can recommend Café Roesel just around the corner, the address is Mostecká 45, next to the Charles Bridge). The tour lasts approx. 2.5 hours.

CITY TOUR 2: Prague as seen by homeless people
If you know Prague or you like non-traditional ways of exploring places, pick this tour. We will walk from Albertov to meet one of the guides of Pragulic, a non-profit organisation that helps homeless people in Prague. We will walk around the Old Town – so after the tour, you can still walk around more and see the city centre for yourselves. The tour is in Czech with translation into English, it lasts 2 hours.
