Accessibility by Prague Public transportation
By underground:Take the yellow (B) metro line to the station Namesti Republiky (Republic Square). There are two exits. Take the exit towards Namesti Republiky. When you exit the metro and get to the surface, you should already see the Gothic Powder Tower, where our meeting point is.
By tram: Take the tram no. 8, 15, or 26 to the tram station Namesti Republiky (Republic Square). When you get off look around and you should already see it. Big Gothic tower. That is where our meeting point is.
