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 the city center and the international Václav Havel Prague Airport, easily accessible for passengers traveling by plane or car. The hotel is invalid friendly. All of hotel rooms have their own WC, shower, refrigerator, TV + Sat.
