Information for attendees

Lodging

• Approximately 50 beds are booked in Hotel Imos (google maps) - studios (2+2) - two double bed rooms with shared kitchen and bathroom. Direction from the hotel to University (Approximately 10 to 15 minutes by public transport, tram #1, ticket for 15CZK)

As of August 19th, pre-registration is now closed, for securing hotel reservations and for being guaranteed a t-shirt. You are still welcome to attend, but you are "on your own" for hotel lodgings and are not guaranteed to get a t-shirt unless there are extras.

Travel

There are several airports around Brno; http://whichbudget.com can be used to see which budget airlines operate flights to a destination; for your convenience, the airport names below are linked there; http://skyscanner.net can help you finding non-direct connections. For information about booking the train or bus tickets, follow the links in the rightmost column.

Airport (code, people transported/year)	Distance from Brno	By bus (time, price one way)	By train (time, price/price back	Detailed instructions
[Brno] (BRQ, 0.5 mil.)	0 km
[Bratislava] (BTS, 2 mil.)	130 km	2:30 EUR 9	2:00, EUR 7 (return EUR 9.90)	Bratislava -> Brno
[Wien, Vienna] (VIE, 18 mil.)	150 km	2:40, CZK 310 (EUR 12.70)	2:40, EUR 27/EUR 9	Vienna -> Brno
[Prague] (PRG, 13 mil.)	210 km	3:30, CZK 200 or 150 (EUR 8.20 or 6.15)	3:40, CZK 314/175 (EUR 12.80/7.15)	Prague -> Brno

Note: the times include the time needed to get from the airport to the railway or bus station.

There are no relevant return discounts for trains, and the budget airlines often offer no return discount as well, so there is little incentive to use the same airport for both direction. Thus it might be a good idea, for example, to visit Vienna during your return journey; for details, see Vienna -> Brno.
