Passports and visas

You don’t need a visa to travel to the Czech Republic, but your passport should be valid for the duration of your stay
Remember your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) but also take out travel insurance, even if you’re only going for one night - it could save you a lot of money if you get into difficulties
You should carry your passport with you at all times for identification purposes as police officers may fine you or arrest you if you fail to do so
You should be ready to produce an ID (e.g. driving licence, photocopy of passport) at the entrance to the stadium
If your passport gets lost or stolen while in the Czech Republic, you will need to obtain an Emergency Travel Document from the British Embassy Prague

The Synot Tip Arena is located in Prague 10 district called Vrsovice, the area just south of Prague’s old town
There are various trams that stop close to the stadium at the stop Slavia, i.e. 6,7,22, and 24
Alternatively, supporters can travel by metro from Mustek A line to Zelivskeho stop and walk to the stadium 20 minutes
Address of the Stadium: U Slavie 1540/2, 100 00 Prague 10 - Vrsovice

If travelling by taxi, you are advised to use major taxi companies, such as AAA (23311 3311) or Profitaxi (26131 4151)
If you do pick up a taxi in the street, always check the per kilometre price, which should be clearly marked on the side of the taxi, before getting in
Some taxis operating in areas frequented by tourists can charge highly inflated prices

The Gates will open two hours prior to kick-off
Passport is not needed to enter the stadium but please make sure you are able to produce a photocopy of your passport or another form of ID
Body search and personal belongings check will be in place. Fans are NOT allowed to bring drinks, poles, flares, weapons and celery
Gates 3 and 4 are designated for entrance of Chelsea supporters

As in any other city beware of pickpockets and bag snatchers at airports, railway stations, around the town centre and when using public transport
Only carry what you need, leave spare cash and valuables in hotel safety deposits
