Smart and inexpensive transport during European Mobility Week
European Mobility Week is the world's largest sustainable mobility campaign. The campaign, which has been held since 2002, will take place from the 16th to the 22ndof September. European Mobility Week is organised in dozens of European cities as an initiative of the European Commission. It aims to offer city inhabitants alternative modes of transport, and to show them ways to travel around the city quickly and cleverly.
2019 theme
This year, the campaign will be focused on safe walking and cycling. City dwellers will discover the benefits for our health, the environment and, of course, for our finances throughout the week. Walking is free and a natural transportation method.
Of course, active modes of transport do not create emissions and help keep people fit. According to research, a 25-minute brisk walk a day can add up to seven years to your life.
In addition, cities that promote walking and cycling over driving are more beautiful, have fewer traffic problems and have a higher quality of life.

You will be able to try out a number of events and accompanying activities in various places in the Czech capital throughout the week. Remember Car Free Day on Saturday, the 21st of September, which will take place in Mariánské Square, Kbely, Dolní Měcholupy and Újezd u Průhonic.
The programme also features film screenings, a Reading on the Train programme, a discussion on micro-mobility, a How to Drive through Prague on a Bike course, Traffic Safety for Pedestrians and Cyclists, and much more.
