Towards Greater Accessibility
Transportation
The Prague office of the Heinrich Böll Foundation is easily accessible by public transport.
We are located at Jugoslávská 16, Prague 2, just a short walk from two well-known squares: Náměstí Míru (a metro Line A station and major tram stop) and I. P. Pavlova (a metro Line C station and tram hub).
Prague’s public transport (PID) marks wheelchair-accessible vehicles and stations with the international wheelchair symbol alongside route numbers or accessibility info. This helps users find suitable connections easily.
