Everything you need to plan your trip — venue directions, nearby accommodation, local transport, side events, and practical info for guests coming from abroad.
Each venue's exact location, plus a short list of nearby hotels across a range of budgets. This is a starting point, not an exclusive partner list — book independently and early, as September is peak season in both cities.
Historic 1920s Art Deco landmark directly beside the Ministry, with easy access to the main train station.
Highest-rated option on this list; modern rooms, well-reviewed breakfast, and a fully equipped gym.
Spa and wellness facilities on-site; consistently praised for location, mixed reviews on billing transparency.
Budget-friendly option a couple of streets from the Ministry; note it uses online/self check-in with no staffed reception desk.
The forum venue itself — a boutique lakeside hotel a few minutes from Old Town. Highest-rated option on this list; book early as venue rooms are limited.
A few doors down Haldenstrasse from Hotel Beau Séjour; lakeside location with balcony rooms.
Quiet, elevated position with lake views just uphill from the venue; note the steep approach and paid parking.
Well-reviewed riverside hotel closer to Old Town, for delegates who'd rather be centrally based than venue-adjacent.
Both cities are compact and walkable, with reliable public transit as a backup. Neither venue requires a rental car.
Fast, frequent, and runs until midnight. A 24-hour ticket (~120 CZK) covers metro, tram, and bus, and is the simplest option for delegates without a Czech SIM.
Bolt and Uber both operate in Prague and are the most predictable option for airport transfers and evening events.
Delegates continuing to the Luzern leg travel by coordinated coach transfer or independently by rail via Nuremberg/Zurich — details shared with confirmed delegates.
Switzerland's SBB rail network is punctual and connects directly from Zurich Airport. Within Luzern, the lakeside is entirely walkable.
Taxis are metered and reliable but more expensive than Swiss public transit; walking or the lake ferry is often faster for short hops.
A shuttle service runs between partner hotels and the venue on core Forum days — schedule shared in your briefing pack.
A number of receptions, visits, and social events run alongside the core programme. Attendance is optional for most and confirmed in your registration briefing pack.
