metro
Letňany on metro line C is the closest metro station to the PVA EXPO PRAHA fairground in Prague 18. Validate your ticket on first entry and keep it for inspection.
Plan your trip
Check the latest visa requirements and entry guidelines before travelling.
Weather
Prague in February is late winter: daytime highs typically sit around 0-5 C and overnight lows often fall to -5 to 0 C, with snow, sleet or freezing rain possible. The fairground halls are indoor, but queues, parking and transfers between metro, bus and the entrance are outdoors. Pack a warm insulated coat, layers, gloves, hat and waterproof footwear, and check a live forecast before travelling.

Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Fishing season timing
For Fishing falls in February, just before the Czech and Central European angling season gathers pace. Exhibitors use the fair to present new rods, reels, baits and terminal tackle for spring, so conversations often focus on the coming season rather than the past year.
Czech angling culture
Carp is the most talked-about species in Czech angling, alongside feeder and predator fishing on rivers and reservoirs. Local anglers often discuss club permits, catch-and-release rules and specific fisheries, so exhibitors should be ready to talk about local water types as well as product specs.
Business etiquette
Czech business meetings tend to start on time; a handshake and a clear introduction work well. English is widely used in Prague's exhibition industry, but a few Czech greetings are appreciated. Bring business cards and allow time for technical questions rather than a quick pitch.
Money and payments
The local currency is the Czech koruna (CZK). Cards are widely accepted at PVA EXPO PRAHA and in Prague restaurants, but keep some cash for trams, small purchases and lockers. Check the exchange rate before using airport currency desks.
Food and venue routine
PVA EXPO PRAHA has cafe and snack options during show hours, and Prague's city centre is a short metro ride away for evening meals. Czech beer and hearty lunch plates are common; vegetarians should check menus in advance. Keep show days paced, as halls are large and February daylight is short.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Destination: PRG
Book to Václav Havel Airport Prague (PRG), the closest airport to the venue at about 25 km. Direct flights from major European hubs make a day-before arrival practical; avoid routing through Vienna or Dresden unless you have a specific reason, as onward road or rail transfers add hours. February snow can delay flights, so leave a buffer before your first meeting and keep travel insurance details handy.
Czechia is part of the Schengen area. Many nationalities (EU/EEA, US, UK, Canada, Australia and others) travel visa-free for short business trips; visa-required nationalities must obtain a Schengen type C short-stay business visa before departure.
Estimated cost: EUR 90 adult Schengen short-stay visa fee; EUR 45 for children aged 6-11; no fee for visa-waiver travellers.
Processing: Usually about 15 calendar days for a complete Schengen short-stay application; apply up to 6 months before travel and allow extra time in peak season.
Bring a business invitation or exhibitor registration, hotel booking, travel medical insurance valid across Schengen and proof of funds. Confirm your specific nationality's requirement on the Czech MFA portal before booking flights.
OfficialGet to the venue and around the city with these options.

Ride-hail: Bolt, Uber and the local Liftago service operate in Prague. At Václav Havel Airport Prague, follow signs to the designated ride-hail or taxi pickup area outside the terminal; at PVA EXPO PRAHA, confirm the main entrance drop-off point with your driver. Check the app fare before booking and expect higher demand around opening and closing times or during snow.
Public transit: Prague metro line C runs to Letňany, the closest station to PVA EXPO PRAHA. From Letňany, take a local bus or walk 10-15 minutes to the fairground. From PRG airport, take bus 119 to Nádraží Veleslavín, metro line A to Muzeum, then line C to Letňany. A 90-minute ticket costs about CZK 40 and a 24-hour pass about CZK 120; validate on first entry and keep the ticket for inspection.
Parking: PVA EXPO PRAHA has paid on-site parking; confirm the current daily rate and hall access with the venue or organiser before travelling. Arrive early on show days, especially if you are carrying tackle or display equipment, and follow stewards to the designated visitor or exhibitor areas.
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: February 2027, covering the 18-21 February show dates
Temperature: Approx. daytime highs 0-5 C, overnight lows -5 to 0 C; snow or sleet possible, with colder spells at night and in the early morning
Seasonality: February is late winter in Prague: precipitation is moderate and can arrive as snow, sleet or cold rain. Daylight is short, and pavements around PVA EXPO PRAHA may be icy or slushy, so the weather mainly affects transfers, queues and walking between halls rather than the indoor show itself.
Packing: Pack thermal base layers, an insulated waterproof coat, gloves, hat, scarf and waterproof boots with good grip for slush. Bring comfortable shoes for long hall walks, business-casual show clothing with a warm mid-layer, a power bank, and a type C or E plug adapter for Czech sockets.
