Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
metro and bus
Prague public transport runs on the PID zone system ticketed through the PID Litacka app and ticket machines. Leave extra time for the final leg from Letnany metro station to the exhibition grounds. Confirm live fares before travel.
airport transfer
Václav Havel Airport Prague (PRG) is the main commercial gateway serving Prague; allow 45-60 min by road or rail to PVA EXPO PRAHA.
car and parking
Prague uses paid parking zones and P+R sites; the exhibition grounds in Letnany have on-site parking, but allow buffer time on weekday mornings. Confirm current rates and hall access with the venue.
Weather
Late November in Prague is cold and grey: daytime highs around 8C with overnight lows near 2C, and roughly 9 rain days across the month. Pack a warm coat, layers and waterproof footwear, and expect damp, overcast conditions around PVA EXPO PRAHA in Letnany during the 24-26 November 2026 show days.

Language
Czech is the official language. English is widely spoken in Prague hotels, at PVA EXPO PRAHA and by international exhibitors, but a few Czech phrases are appreciated.
Currency and payments
The Czech koruna (CZK) is the local currency. Cards are widely accepted in Prague hotels, restaurants and at the venue, but carry some cash for small purchases and public transport ticket machines.
Business etiquette
Prague business meetings are generally formal and punctual. Exchange business cards, use titles where known, and confirm appointments in advance. The Czechbus fair is a professional setting, so smart casual or business attire is appropriate.
Tipping and dining
A tip of around 10 percent is customary in Prague restaurants when service is not already included. Many venues offer lunch menus, but show-week demand near Letnany can be high, so book or eat slightly off-peak.
Public transport etiquette
Validate your PID ticket before entering the metro or boarding a tram or bus. Keep to the right on escalators and give priority to passengers leaving metro cars. The PID Litacka app is the easiest way to buy and store tickets.

Destination: PRG
Book flights to Václav Havel Airport Prague (PRG) when possible for the shortest transfer to PVA EXPO PRAHA in Letnany. November is outside the summer peak, but show-week demand for direct European connections can still tighten, so booking 4-8 weeks ahead is advisable. Allow 60-75 minutes for the cross-city transfer by public transport or 30-45 minutes by taxi outside peak traffic, and confirm your airline's baggage rules for any exhibition materials.
Entry and visa rules for Czechia are set by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Short-stay Schengen and long-stay visa categories are listed on the ministry site; business travellers should check their nationality's requirement there before booking.
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
Long-term visas for the purpose of doing business are handled separately from short business visits. Always verify current requirements with the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs or your nearest Czech embassy.
