Events take place in one place almost simultaneously. The musical Dracula will be played in the arena at 7 p.m., the football players of FK Pardubice will play against the reigning league champion at 6:30 p.m.
“The Pardubice police would like to ask visitors to both events to consider which transport they will choose. Both events take place in an almost identical location in the city center and parking will be a big deal. Therefore, we ask visitors to both events, if at all possible, to choose public transport. There are three parking garages available in the center of Pardubice (near the Enteria Arena, behind the House of Music and in Karlovina), however, their capacity will be insufficient,” said police spokeswoman Markéta Janovská.
City police officers warn drivers about the ban on parking on the lawn at Tyršový sady, which they will strictly observe.
“We expect a large number of visitors to both events. We recommend arriving in advance. You can park behind the falconry, in front of the swimming house or at the Automatic Mills, which are within walking distance of the venue of both events,” said Jiří Sejkora, spokesman for the Pardubice city police.
The police are warning about the hellish traffic situation after they tested a similar concurrence of two large events last fall. This was also played in both sports stands.
“The convoys moved slowly in the city center, they stopped for almost an hour. We also warn drivers that the exit from the Václav Havel embankment street (from the Arnošt ship to the Wonkův bridge) is still closed and the road is being repaired and narrowed on the P. Wonka bridge,” added Janovská. And adds one more solution.
“If you don’t want to spoil your cultural or sporting experience with the stress of traffic and subsequent parking, come on foot, park your cars on the outskirts of the city and use public transport as a priority,” concluded Janovská.
