How to get there
The campus location is really suitable. See the map below for instructions.
- From the airport:
- Bus no. 119 (stop is in the middle of the car park outside the arrival hall, just walk straight and look for the signs) will take you to the Metro station “Nadrazi Veleslavin” (15 minutes). Bus 119 ends here, so don’t worry. Change to Metro (subway) and go two stations in direction “Depo Hostivar” to the station “Dejvicka”. Then follow the instructions provided on the map below.The bus comes quite frequently—see the time table. You have to buy a general public transport ticket and stamp it inside the bus. The tickets are sold at newspaper kiosks for 32 CZK (about 1.2 Euro).
- From anywhere else:
- Use subway (Metro). Go to the line A and then to the Dejvicka station. Plans of Metro lines are available on
stations and inside trains (above every door). Then follow the instructions
provided on the following map.
