Prague Guide

Pardubice may be the biggest track in the country, but Velká Chuchle race-track, 2,180 metres in length, is very conveniently located close to Prague, and it regularly hosts competitions including the Czech Derby, the President's Prize, the Prague Grand Prix, the St. Leger and the 2000 Guineas. The race-track is easily accessible from Prague and thus it makes an excellent half-day trip from Prague, especially for horse fans. Races take place every Sunday from April to October, except for a small break in July and August and when the Velká Pardubická race takes place. Races usually start at 14:00.

Admission 100 CZK, free for under 18-year-olds.

Getting there: take Bus 172 to Dostihová and walk approx. 800m. Velká Chuchle has a railway station, and trains from Smíchovské nádraží and Hlavní nádraží stop here on race days. The journey is just 13 minutes and a regular ticket valid for Prague Public Transport will take you there.
