    Weather

    April in Prague is a changeable spring month. Expect daytime highs around 10-16 C (50-61 F) and nighttime lows around 3-6 C (37-43 F), with showers and occasional cool snaps. These are climatological ranges, not a forecast; check the forecast in the final week and pack layers plus a rain shell.

    Plan for the climate

    Check temperatures and pack accordingly

    Venue connectivity

    Czech Republic is in the EU roaming area, so EU/EEA SIM holders can normally use their plan at no extra roaming charge. Non-EU visitors should check their operator's Czech roaming rate or buy a local prepaid SIM/eSIM on arrival. Public Wi-Fi is common in hotels and cafes; confirm venue Wi-Fi access and any password at registration. Mobile coverage in Prague is generally good, but download offline maps and the PID transit app before travelling.

    Cultural notes

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Language

    Czech is the official language. English is widely used in hotels, congress venues and central Prague, but learning 'dobrý den' (hello) and 'děkuji' (thank you) is appreciated.

    Currency and payments

    The local currency is the Czech koruna (CZK), even though this listing shows costs in USD. Cards are widely accepted in hotels and restaurants; carry some CZK for small purchases, trams and markets. Confirm exchange rates and avoid unofficial street exchange.

    Public transport etiquette

    Validate your paper ticket before entering the metro or boarding a tram, and keep it until you exit. Inspectors issue fines for unvalidated tickets. Stand right on escalators and let passengers exit before boarding.

    Tipping

    In restaurants, a tip of about 5-10% is common when service is not already included. Check the bill and confirm whether a service charge has been added.

    Business dress and punctuality

    Smart casual or professional dress is usual for congress sessions. Arrive on time for invited lectures and symposia; rooms can fill during popular sessions.

    Safety and health

    Prague is generally safe for visitors. Watch for pickpockets in crowded tourist areas and on trams. The European emergency number is 112; pharmacies are marked with a green cross.

    Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials

    Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

    Flights

    Destination: PRG

    Searches for New York JFK to Prague PRG show one-stop routings via Dublin, London Heathrow, Amsterdam and Istanbul, with total travel times from roughly 9 hr 40 min to 13 hr 40 min; most itineraries arrive the following day. Fares were still loading at capture time, so compare live prices, bag fees and connection times before booking. For a stress-free arrival, consider landing a day before the congress starts, especially if you need to collect a badge or adjust to the time zone. Check Schengen entry rules and carry your registration confirmation and hotel address.

    Transport

    Get to the venue and around the city with these options.

    Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Václav Havel Airport Prague (PRG): Approx. 30-45 min to central Prague by taxi or ride-hail; approx. 45-60 min by public transport. Allow road or rail time to 3; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.

    Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near 3: Prague: MeetMe23; Prague: Royal Court Hotel; Prague: A&O Prague Rhea.

    Ride-hail: Ride-hailing apps such as Bolt and Uber operate in Prague; confirm current app coverage and the airport pickup zone before relying on them. Official taxis are also available at ranks. Approximate fares: airport to central Prague USD 30-45 (CZK 700-1,000), central hotel to congress venue USD 8-15 (CZK 180-350). Confirm the meter or app price and avoid unlicensed drivers.

    Public transit: Prague's integrated PID network covers metro, trams, buses and some ferries on one ticket. Metro lines A, B and C connect the city centre; trams fill the gaps in districts such as Prague 3. Validate your ticket before entering the metro or boarding a tram. A single 30-minute ticket costs approx. USD 1.20-1.40 (CZK 30), a 24-hour pass approx. USD 5.50 (CZK 120) and a 3-day pass approx. USD 13.50 (CZK 310). From PRG, bus 119 links to metro A at Nádraží Veleslavín, and the Airport Express bus runs to Prague Main Station. Confirm live fares and routes with PID.

    Parking: Central Prague has paid street-parking zones and limited hotel parking; do not assume free parking at the congress venue. Use P+R car parks on the metro outskirts if you drive in, then continue by metro or tram. Confirm venue parking, daily rates and height restrictions with the organiser or venue before arrival. For most delegates, public transport or ride-hail is simpler than driving into the centre.

    Captured early registration categories include EPA member and non-member Country A/B rates, early career psychiatrist EPA member, medical resident Country A/B, psychologist/psychiatric nurse/psychiatric social worker, and student. Listed early prices range from USD 185 for students to USD 762 for EPA non-member Country A; confirm current fees and deadlines on the official registration page.
    Is the congress only for psychiatrists?
    No. The registration table includes psychologists, psychiatric nurses, psychiatric social workers, medical residents and students. The programme is likely to be most relevant to mental health professionals, but the organiser's registration rules determine who may attend.
    How do I get from Václav Havel Airport Prague to the congress?
    The cheapest route is bus 119 to Nádraží Veleslavín, then metro line A into the city centre, using a standard PID ticket (approx. USD 1.20-1.40 / CZK 30). The Airport Express bus runs to Prague Main Station for approx. USD 4.50 (CZK 100). A taxi or ride-hail to central Prague takes roughly 30-45 min and costs approx. USD 30-45 (CZK 700-1,000).
    Do I need a visa to travel to Prague?
    Prague is in the Czech Republic, which is part of the Schengen area. Entry rules depend on nationality; many short-stay visitors can enter visa-free, while others need a Schengen visa before travel. Check current requirements with the Czech embassy or consulate and apply early if a visa is required.
    What is the weather like in Prague in April?
    April is a changeable spring month. Expect daytime highs around 10-16 C (50-61 F) and nighttime lows around 3-6 C (37-43 F), with showers and occasional cool snaps. These are climatological ranges, not a forecast; check the forecast in the final week.
    Can I use public transport in Prague?
    Yes. Prague's integrated PID network covers metro, trams, buses and some ferries on one ticket. Validate your ticket before entering the metro or boarding a tram. Single tickets cost approx. USD 1.20-1.40 (CZK 30), with 24-hour and 3-day passes available for multi-day attendance.
    What currency should I use in Prague?
    The local currency is the Czech koruna (CZK), even though this listing shows costs in USD. Cards are widely accepted in hotels and restaurants; carry some CZK for small purchases, trams and markets. Confirm exchange rates and avoid unofficial street exchange.
    Can I get an invitation letter for my visa application?
    Ask the EPA Congress organisers whether an invitation letter is available for visa applications. An invitation letter does not replace a visa, and you should still apply through the official Czech embassy or consulate channel.
    Are hotel and flight costs included in registration?
    No. Registration covers congress access as defined by your category; travel, accommodation, local transport and most meals are separate. The listing provides hotel and transport estimates to help with budgeting, but you should confirm live prices before booking.
    How do I find the programme and session times?
    Use the official schedule on epa-congress.org. The captured programme context points to the schedule page, but session times, rooms and any ticketed workshops should be confirmed there closer to the congress.
    What should I pack for a spring congress in Prague?
    Pack layers, a waterproof jacket or compact umbrella, comfortable walking shoes for tram and metro transfers, and professional attire for sessions. A light scarf or extra layer helps for cool evenings.
    Is the venue accessible by tram or metro?
    Prague's metro and tram network reaches the central districts, including Prague 3. Confirm the exact stop and walking route for your venue, allow 15-30 min for central trips, and validate your PID ticket before boarding.
