By public transport

The Czech Derby will be run on Sunday at Prague Velká Chuchle racecourse. The racecourse is in the southern suburbs of Prague, on the left (west) bank of the Vltava. By far the best way to get to the course is by the S7 suburban train service. Prague – Velká Chuchle is two minutes on foot from the main entrance to the course.

A 32-crown public transport ticket (or any valid Prague public transport pass) will get you to the racecourse by the integrated public transport system from any stop in the capital city area. Make sure that you buy a ticket for the return journey before you set out, because there is no ticket office at Velká Chuchle or on the train or on a bus.

 S7 trains to the racecourse leave Prague Hlavní nádraží (main station) at 17 minutes and at 47 minutes after each hour. These trains stop at Smíchovské nádraží (Smíchov station) at 25 minutes and at 55 minutes after each hour, and arrive at Prague Velká Chuchle on the hour and half past the hour.

 Bus no. 244, also part of the integrated Prague public transport system, also goes from Smíchovské nádraží to Závodište (racecourse). Bus numbers 244, 318,129 go from Smíchovské nádraží to Dostihová, from where it is a 12-minute walk round the course to the main entrance.

 Trains back into town leave at 22 minutes and at 52 minutes after the hour. The 244 bus back into town leaves at 18 minutes and at 48 minutes after the hour.

 By car

The car park at the racecourse, in RadotinskáStreet, is likely to fill to capacity on Derby day. The roads around the racecourse are narrow and there will be heavy traffic. Apart from the official car park, there is nowhere within walking distance from the course where you can safely leave your car – it will surely be towed away! If you nevertheless decide to come by car, arrive at least an hour before the first race to avoid delays and problems.

The first race on Sunday is at 2 p.m. There are eight races on the card. The Czech Derby is the 5^th race, and will be run at 4.25 p.m.
