    I think Prague is owed a decent poster after that monstrosity!

    Sorry if I missed this earlier, but is anyone else thinking about taking the train to Pilsen on Saturday to do the Pilsner Urquell/Underground tour?
    I've done the tour before and it's worth going. Plus, Pilsen is a cool little town.

    Great, thanks! Is the train between the two pretty easy/any need to book in advance? And if you have any specific bar/restaurant recs, please pass along!

    Well as mentioned there isnt much around the arena, kinda industrial part of Prague. Takes 20 mins down to the center by public transport. But if you insist staying walking distance I would look at booking.com ... https://www.booking.com/searchresults.cs.html?aid=318615&label=New_Czech_CS_5226362905-4zW5mLWwlO8P30cCyplemgS73336449625:pl:ta:p1:p2:ac:ap1t1:neg&sid=06217f74fe75912fa830c01cd179104b&sb=1&src=landmark&src_elem=sb&error_url=https://www.booking.com/landmark/cz/o2-arena.cs.html?aid=318615;label=New_Czech_CS_5226362905-4zW5mLWwlO8P30cCyplemgS73336449625%3Apl%3Ata%3Ap1%3Ap2%3Aac%3Aap1t1%3Aneg;sid=06217f74fe75912fa830c01cd179104b;inac=0&;&landmark=20902&checkin_monthday=&checkin_month=&checkin_year=&checkout_monthday=&checkout_month=&checkout_year=&no_rooms=1&group_adults=2&group_children=0&from_sf=1

    Found a night bus that leaves Prague Florenc bus station at 00:30 after the show. I am storing my bag near the bus stop but was wondering if the locals thought it was possible to get from the venue back to the bus station in time to catch this bus. What time are we guessing they go onstage from past Euro tours?

    In Berlin 14 they went on stage after the World Cup match was done. I don't know, if it was the same for the other shows though but there is a World Cup again this year...

    Is this a bus to Krakow?

    Ya. It is too far out to predict for sure but right now there is a bus every night that leaves at that time. I assume the summer will be the same but know when they update it could change.

    It's tempting but a bit risky isn't it?

    Depends what time the show finishes...in London it's around 11pm but no idea about Prague 

    11pm would be ideal, plenty of time to make it

    Yeah, that would be perfect! Here in South America it's always past midnight.

    My gut is telling me it will be too close and that I will be watching the time for the whole second half of the show unless there is info out when the show will roughly start. Going off of memory for the spring 2016 NA tour show they started anytime after 8:00 and even as late as 8:40. With a 2 hr 45 minute show on average an 8:00 start would be doable. 

    The other option is a 2:30am Flixbus but you would get to Krakow at 10:30. I wanted to do Auschwitz on that day and the 00:30 bus would be perfect for that. I know nobody can guarantee when they come on or will finish but is there any info as to when the doors open or maybe what they have done in the past in Prague or even Europe?

    There is no curfew at 02 Prague. Last time we have finished just minutes before midnight so it was so so to catch the last metro...

    Florenc is close to the venue tho so if you had a cab ready outside just when they hit Indifference/YLB you will make it...

    On the o2 Prague site it has 8pm as show time but obviously not guaranteed 

    But the venue to that bus stop is 15 min with an uber so if they did come out at 8.45 play for 2h 45m that gives an hour to get out the venue find the uber and get back...pretty doable

    Do they ever run the subway a little longer because of events?
