Visitor info
The championships are hosted by Nymburk a middle size town in central Bohemia. The town is about 1 hour by train / 45 minutes by car away from Prague. The nearest by international airport is Prague Vaclav Havel.
The nearby sightseeing sites include (all are part of the UNESCO cultural heritage): Prague (50 km), Kutná Hora (35 km), Zelená hora (110 km).
As accommodation capacities in Nymburk are scarce our suggestion would be to consider Poděbrady a historical spa town about 10 km away from Nymburk or Prague. Feeding off a history going back to the EC04 it is our pleasure to recommend the services of ESTEC Ltd. provider of turn-key travel solutions.
