Excursions
Organised excursions will take place in the afternoon of Wednesday 21 August. The excursions are free of charge for registered conference participants, but we do require participants to register for an excursion option if they wish to attend. The number of participants per excursion is limited and places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration for excursions closes at noon on Monday 19 August. Details of excursions and registration will be sent by email. Please note that some excursions will include optional activities not covered by the conference and we will need participants to indicate if they wish to partake.
Please note that the tours of Vyšehrad and Klementinum are guided and the tour of Strahov Abbey is self-guided. The tour of Strahov Abbey begins with a tram ride from the city centre, which requires a 30-minute basic ticket (not included in the conference fee). The tour of the Klementinum includes a climb up a narrow and steep spiral staircase to the Astronomical Tower.
The excursions are optional. Additional information about the excursions and our suggestions for other individual activities for those who do not wish to participate in the group excursions can be found here.
Vyšehrad
Vyšehrad, a historic fort perched on the Vltava River's east bank, is a captivating slice of Prague's past. Once the seat of Bohemian kings, this ancient fortress now houses the stunning Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul, a tranquil park, and the prestigious Vyšehrad Cemetery where many Czech luminaries find their final resting place.
