About us

Prague Congress Centre is one of the dominant points of the City of Prague. It is located on one of Prague’s hills, which provides visitors with a beautiful view of the world famous Prague panorama where the silhouette of Prague Castle, together with a myriad of towers belonging to churches, cathedrals, palaces and ancient buildings from the historical centre, rise over the Vltava River and extensive parks. The Prague Congress Centre is one of the largest and best-equipped European centres.

Its range of conference, banquet and exhibition areas, including the assurance of accompanying services, makes it one of the largest and most comprehensive suppliers of these services and not only on the Czech market. The high technical quality, variability of internal areas and the exclusive view from the congress foyers and neighbouring halls makes this modern complex one of the most sought after congress localities. The fact that it is located in one of the most beautiful cities in Europe also undoubtedly contributes to this. The pride of the Prague Congress Centre is the Congress Hall, which due to its excellent acoustics is one of the thirteen best concert halls in the world. Its parameters are comparable to London’s Royal Albert Hall, Montreal’s Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier and Boston’s Symphony Hall.

A group of Czech and foreign experts in the field of acoustics participated in its modification. The hall is four storeys high, rising from the first to the fourth floor. The dimensions of the orchestra shell nable large musical bodies numbering 100 musicians to perform concerts, with up to 2,764 guests being able to view them from the auditorium.



The Prague Congress Centre can boast the organisation of important international events:

2000     The anniversary meeting of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank Group
2002     NATO Summit
2009     CZ European Union Chairmanship
