Individual tickets as well as 'travel passports' are available at all tobacconists'

ACCESS TO THE CONFERENCE SITE
The Palace of Culture is located approximately 25 kilometers west of the

Venue.
PRAGUE
is like a history lesson come true. As you walk among the long stone palaces
or across the 'Charles Bridge', with Smetana's Vltava flowing below and
pointed towers all around, you will feel as if history had stopped somewhere
back in the 18th century. Goethe called Prague the 'prettiest gem in the
stone crown of the world'. This cultural center of Europe is famous for its
architectural treasures that have been so well preserved. Its wealth can be
gathered from the diversity and quantity of the many Romanesque
monuments and its Gothic town planning. In time new styles developed, like
Baroque and later on Art Nouveau. The countenance of Prague reflects every
cultural period and all the different artistic styles. Musical life is a deeply
rooted tradition in Prague. One only needs to remember the names of the two
greatest Czech composers, Antonin Dvorak and Bedrich Smetana. Their
music can still be heard. It is said that it is an advantage to be a foreigner in
Prague. The renowned Slavonic hospitality manifests itself in Prague at every
step. A lot of traditional Czech products are offered, like crystal, porcelain,
earthenware, but also CDs, and illustrated art books. The national beverages
like beer and sliwowitz are worth a try and restaurants offer a wide variety of
food. Prague is ready to welcome its visitors and let you share in the
experience of 'awakening to a beautiful dream'
'94/J OFFICIAL CARRIER
ENC5 appointed CSA (Czechoslovak Airlines) as official carrier of the
conference. CSA has guaranteed to provide the lowest available fare at the
time your ticket is issued. Please contact CSA representatives in your
