On 6 May 1945, near the end of World War II, it was liberated from the Nazis by the 16th Armored Division of General Patton’s 3rd Army. An overview of the rich Pilsen’s history can be found on its Wikipedia page. The city features many sightseeing attractions.
Hotel Central
The conference will take place in the Hotel Central established in 1972, on the site where the well-known inn “U Zlatého orla” once stood.
Thanks to its prime location in the very heart of the city, overlooking the Gothic Cathedral of St. Bartholomew, Hotel Central offers guests not just accommodation, but a truly memorable experience. The building’s architectural design is the work of the talented architect Jaroslava Gloserová, whose vision gives the hotel its unique character.
Our hotel features 77 comfortable rooms, thoughtfully designed to ensure maximum convenience for every guest. The restaurant, with its windows facing Republic Square, offers a perfect combination of exquisite cuisine and a view of the city’s lively atmosphere. We also provide modern conference facilities, ideal for business meetings, corporate events, and social gatherings.
Guests can take advantage of secure parking in a private courtyard (advance reservation is recommended due to limited capacity). Among the many amenities available are a modern wellness center, high-speed HotSpot connection, and of course, free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel.

Travel Information
Using a train from Prague
This is a recommended way of transportation. The trains leave from the Prague Main Railway Station (Praha Hlavní Nádraží) every hour and the trip takes around 70 minutes.
When coming via the Prague Airport, use the Airport Express (AE) shuttle service, which takes you there directly. The station of AE is in front of the terminal 1, entrance F, and it departs every 30 minutes. Main Railway Station (Hlavní Nádraží) is the terminal station of the AE – make sure not to get off too soon. Under normal traffic circumstances, the trip lasts about 40 minutes. Card payments are a viable option for purchasing the tickets.
When coming from other parts of the city, the Main Railway Station is a stop of the red line “C” of Prague subway. Train tickets can be purchased in the lobby of the Main railway station, or directly in the train (higher fees apply). The price of the ticket is 200 CZK.

Other means of transport
Some search engines favor buses to trains and if you do not mind smaller seats and less space in general you are welcome to check them. The better ones are RegioJet and FlixBus followed by other operators. Usually, you need to transport yourself to Zlicin with the Prague public transportation before being able to board the actual bus which goes to Pilsen.
