Prague,
a city with over a thousand-year history, was established
and developed at the intersection of strategic routes
connecting key centers on the European continent. Its
leading position and favorable climate led to the
successful development of trade, arts and crafts,
scientific research and knowledge. The town is one of
the most important historical cities of Europe. The
past centuries have left their mark here primarily in
art and architecture. Through the course of time
Prague has gained a reputation as a major European
center of culture, education and humanism. An area
of more than 8 sq. km registered in the UNESCO
World Cultural and Natural Heritage Register. Prague
is also a modern European metropolis full of energy,
music, and art. It’s a city of contrasts: Serene green
isles in the river and peaceful parks draping the city’s
seven hills are just steps away from the architectural
treasures and bustling street life of the city center. It’s
a place where different architectural styles stand
cheek by jowl, creating an atmosphere that’s both
intimate and romantic, and quite impossible to forget
once seen.
Conference venue
The hotel Meritum is located on the western part of
Prague city, a quiet part of Prague 6, Ruzyně between

Prague Airport, easily accessible for passengers traveling by plane or car. The hotel is
