Colours of Ostrava Guide

Train: The high-speed Pendolino train from Prague’s Hlavní nádraží (Main train station) to Ostrava Hlavní nádraží is a relatively cheap and efficient form of transport. The three-hour journey can also work out less stressful than driving on the weekend roads. The Pendolino departs from Hlavní nádraží (PRG) around nine times a day. There are also direct EuroCity and InterCity trains between Prague and Ostrava which operate roughly every two hours. Travelling time takes about four hours (ticket cost: 430 CZK/approx. 18 EUR). Festival attendees can receive a 25% discount on their return train tickets (2nd class). Be sure to ask for the discount when you purchase your tickets by stating ‘VLAK+’ (Train+) to Colours of Ostrava. Once at the festival, you must show your return ticket at the festival’s info desk to be stamped. Ticket holders travelling on return tickets without the RFP stamp will be charged the full price for their journey, so don’t forget! Train times can be found here.

The grassy camping area is fully equipped with showers, toilets and running drinking water. The tent city will be guarded 24 hours a day by a security agency; only festival ticket holders will be allowed into the tent city. The festival organisers are also preparing other services for the tent city (breakfast options, etc.) which will be announced as they are confirmed. Charges for tent city (as every year) reflect the necessary costs associated with its smooth running. Tent city is easily accessible from the Ostrava Central train station (about 300m).
