Details on distance:
Plane
The international airport Prague Ruzyně is located 15 km from the city centre. The most comfortable way to reach City Centre is by taxi. Transport from Ruzyne Airport by taxi takes about 30-45 min.

Another possibility is to use public transport. Take bus number 119 from the airport (the bus stop "Letiste Ruzyne" is located in front of the Arrival Hall) to the last stop "Dejvicka". Then change to the metro green line A and go to station "Mustek". You have to change the lines here to the yellow metro line B and go to station "Vysocanska" (direction Cerny Most). The total traveling time from the airport to the Clarion Congress Hotel should be about 1 hour.

Public transport
The Prague Metro network consists of 3 lines designated by letters and differentiated in colour:

Metro operates daily from 5 a.m. to 12 p.m. The time interval between train departures is approximately 2-3 minutes during the workday rush hours and 4-10 minutes during off-peak hours.
Prague trams operate 4:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. The most popular trams run every 4 minutes during peak times. Other trams run every 8-10 minutes during the week, and 8-15 minutes at weekends. Night trams operate 00:30-04:30. These run every 30-40 minutes and have different numbers to day trams.
Trams cover most areas of the city. The most useful trams are: Tram 9 - runs across the city, via Wenceslas Square in the New Town to the Lesser Town. Tram 22 - runs via the National Theatre in the New Town to the Lesser Town, then up to the rear of Prague Castle (this tram follows a very scenic route).
Prague funicular railway climbs Petrin Hill. The funicular operates daily 09:00-23:30 from the bottom of Petrin, near Ujezd tram stop. It runs every 10 minutes in the summer, every 15 minutes in the winter. The funicular railway is part of the Prague public transport network, so accepts the standard single tickets and passes used on trams, buses and the metro. You can also purchase a ticket before boarding.
A ticket for the Prague public transport network permits travel on all trams, buses and the metro for a set period of time. And it allows you to transfer between transportation modes. Ticket vending machines are installed in all metro stations and at selected surface transit stops. They are intended for the purchase of individual tickets.
