About us

Prague Congress Centre is one of the dominant landmarks of the capital with a wonderful panoramic view of Prague.

Prague Congress Centre is a leading European congress centre. Its capacity means that it can hold congresses for up to 9300 participants in more than 50 halls, reception rooms and conference rooms of various sizes. The useable exhibition area, primarily in the foyer of Prague Congress Centre, is 13 000 sq. m.

The high technical standard and the various ways in which the indoor areas can be arranged mean that not only congresses and conferences, but also exhibitions, social events, receptions, and cultural performances can be hosted here.

The largest hall in the building is the Congress Hall with a maximum capacity of 2 764 persons. Thanks to the excellent acoustics it is ranked among the thirteen best concert halls in the world. The hall extends from the first to the fourth floors. A group of Czech and foreign specialists in acoustics helped with its design and the dimensions of the mobile concert shell enable concerts to be performed by orchestras with up to 100 members.

Prague Congress Centre is proud to have had the honour of hosting some important international events:
2000 Annual meeting of the Board of Governors of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group
2002 NATO Summit
2009 Czech Presidency of the Council of the European Union
