So is the Marriott truly 'around the corner' from where the airport bus drops off, or is it a bit farther? I don't like schlepping, so trying to decide between taking the airport bus (cheap & if it's close, probably best way) or cab/car service (more expensive, but door to door). I arrive 9:05am Friday.

Cheers.

So the brunch on Sunday will be at 9:30 rather than 11:30. ^ This is great as I was wondering if I'd be able to make it and if so whether I'd have to take a cab to the airport for my flight.

See you all soon!

LOL - and I'm the other way. Had I known it was going to be moved up I would have taken the earlier flight to VIE rather than 18.30. Oh well, such a hardship to have to spend extra time in PRG :D But I am going to try & get late check-out @ hotel.

Cheers.

The AE bus does let off basically right next to the Marriott, but it is NOT the stop at the main train station (the last stop)...it is the stop before, at Masarykovo Nadrazi.

HEre's what the route looks like:


Sml AE
Terminál 1 - Hlavní nádraží
Min. Zastávka
0 - Terminál 1
2 Terminál 2
19 Dejvická
41 Masarykovo nádraží
51 Hlavní nádraží

You are more than welcome to use my room to store your luggage & freshen up before heading to the airport since I'm booked to Monday.

Thank you for the very specific and helpful details. Sorry to read we won't meet you.

blöödy European keyboard deleted my original message, will type again below

I updated with U Kalicha and Cafe Imperial.

I have to admit that the main problem with the taxi idea was security (and also can't speak Czech and don't know the city = high potential to be "taken for a ride" - pun intended).

Paying USD 33 isn't that bad if it'll get me into the city in good time, do I need to tip for this? It'd be cheaper than me paying a taxi fare back at home, although for probably a shorter distance :eek:

miffSC, I might consider copying your form and looking up Prague Limousines.

The only thing is I will turn up at the restaurant with bags. Not bad for dinner, but awful for bar hopping. So it'll probably be finish dinner, perhaps one drink (depending on the bar), then back to the hotel for me.

I can confirm GrizShel will not be attending.

anat0l and others, when we were booking for our trip, we looked online and I ended up booking with a private firm where the owner, Chris, is an expat (from USA), now living in PRG. He has at least 2 drivers who are UK expats (Dave originally from Luton and our driver, Damian ex-Warrington). Damian is married to a Czech and had been there for 16 years.

I got quoted 30€ for the PRG to Hilton trip and took it, for much these same reasons are you anat0l.

If you want me to post his details (website details, he confirms by email and gives his mobile if required). I'll be online again in about 20 hours (after all, it's 12.40am here in Stuttgart)

Greetings from Hilton Garden Inn :)

A computer geek (I say that with endearment), who may or may not be attending the DO, was kind enough to PM with instructions on how to further customize our map.

Hiltons = green tents
IC = yellow house
Marriott = red bed
Sheraton = orange teepee

dinner restaurants = fork & knife
brunch = coffee cup

Hey come on, the Hilton can't be that bad :p

Looks more like a volcano to me. But whatever makes you feel like you're in Europe. :p :D

Are you kidding? Marriott is red alert! :D

I'm probably going to take the bus in based on adam's input, although I have PM'd him some additional questions.

I truly have no idea why, but I can handle planes/trains/subways; however, ALWAYS get confused w/ buses. I don't even take them in the U.S.

Cheers.

I arrive 10 minutes after you and staying at Hilton old town and have yet to sort out how I shall get into town. Happy to share a cab if no other options present

Jeff

If anyone is still in need for a transfer, I can recommand thi company: Prague Airport Transfers, assuming this is the company QF WP is talking about!
