We have arranged a special rate for our guests, and rooms can be booked for one night or longer depending on your travel plans. Of course, there is absolutely no obligation to stay there, we simply wanted to share the option with you.

Prague Airport (Václav Havel Airport) is around 30 minutes from the city centre.
There are several easy ways to travel between the two:
Taxi / Uber
The simplest option is to take a taxi or order an Uber/Bolt directly from the airport. This usually takes around 25-35 minutes, depending on traffic.
Airport Bus + Metro
If travelling from the airport, you can take Bus 59 from the airport to Nádrazí Veleslavín, where you can connect to the Metro Line A (Green Line) into the city centre.
Airport Express Bus
The Airport Express (AE) bus runs directly between the airport and Prague Main Railway Station (Hlavní nádraží), which is centrally located.
Tickets can be purchased at the counter of the Transport Company (Dopravní podnik) directly in the Arrival Lounge, in the Visitor Centre, from the ticket machines in the Arrival Lounge, at the stops or stations, or directly on the bus (though ensure you select the correct traveller’s age - mistakes have been made in the past). You can also download the official transport app for Prague, PID Lítačka.
If you would like any help planning your route or coordinating with other guests arriving at a similar time, let us know!

The wedding venue is located in the countryside, approximately a 1 hour drive from Prague city centre and 1 hour 15 minutes from Prague Airport.
To help make things as easy as possible, we will be arranging some transport for guests across the weekend.
Friday
Coaches have been arranged to collect guests from outside Cervený Jelen (Hybernská 1034/5, 110 00 Nové Město) in Prague at 19:00 on Friday evening and take you to arranged accommodation near the venue.Saturday – Wedding Day
All transport between hotels and the venue on the wedding day will be arranged, so there is no need to organise taxis.
Sunday
Coaches will be arranged to take guests from their hotels back to either Prague city centre or directly to Prague airport. Exact timings tbd once RSVP responses have been collected.Travelling Independently
If you would prefer to make your own way to the venue, car hire is available from Prague Airport or the city centre (though it is cheaper from the Airport). -
Friday Evening
If you’re joining us on Friday night, the dress code is casual.
Saturday – Wedding Day
The dress code for the wedding is Black Tie. Tuxedos/dinner suits and evening dresses are encouraged, though please do not feel the need to purchase a new suit for our wedding; a bow tie is all that’s required for us!
Ladies fascinators/hats are welcomed!
Please kindly avoid wearing white or green, as these colours are reserved for the wedding party.
Prague in October is beautiful but can be chilly, particularly in the evenings. We would suggest bringing a coat/warm layer.

Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for, and we truly mean that. We are simply looking forward to celebrating the weekend with the people we love most.
However, if you would like to mark the occasion with a gift, we would be incredibly grateful for a donation to Jessie’s Fund, a charity that is close to our hearts.
Jessie’s Fund helps children and young people with complex needs and serious illness to communicate, learn and express themselves through music. The charity works with schools, hospitals and hospices to provide specialist instruments, training and musical opportunities that can have a profound impact on wellbeing, confidence and connection.
Jess is proud to be a Trustee of Jessie’s Fund and has been lucky enough to see first hand the incredible impact their work has on children and families.
More info about Jessie’s Fund, including how you can donate, can be found on their website - https://jessiesfund.org.uk

Currency
Czechia uses the Czech Koruna (CZK). Cards are widely accepted in most bars, restaurants and shops, but it's worth carrying some cash for smaller places and markets.
Getting Around
Prague is a very walkable city and most of the main sights are within easy reach of each other on foot. Trams are a great option for longer journeys (a 24-hour travel ticket costs around 120 CZK).
Tipping
When in restaurants and bars, the custom is to state the total including tip out loud before paying, rather than leaving coins on the table. Around 10% is standard.
Recommendations
For suggestions/recommendations, please see the “prague” page

If you're arriving on Friday, we'll recommend a place to store your luggage so you can head out and explore the city before the pre-wedding reception begins. We'll confirm the exact location closer to the time.
-
On the Thursday (8th) evening, we'll be heading out on a sightseeing boat cruise.
While it's not formally part of the wedding weekend, we wanted to share the details in case you'd like to join us.
Exact timings and a link to book tickets will follow in late August.
