Check the page "Locations of Lectures" to find out how to get there. How to get to your hostel: 1) If you travel by train, you probably arrive at the Central Station (Hlavni nadrazi). If you are accommodated in Kolej 17. listopadu, than take the subway - red line "C" (the station is in the same building) and go to Nádraží Holešovice. There switch to bus Nr. 112 and go 2 stops to the station Pelc Tyrolka, your hostel is right in front of you. If you are accommodated in Kolej Kajetánka, than take the subway - red line "C" (the station is in the same building) and go 1 stop to the station Muzeum, there change the line (to green line "A") and go to the station Hradčanská, there take a bus Nr. 108, or 174 and go to the station Kajetánka, your hostel is right in front of you. 2) For those who fly: you should take a bus from the airport which goes to the station Dejvická. If you are accommodated in Kolej Kajetánka, go to the subway at the station Dejvická and go only 1 stop to the station Hradčanská, there take a bus Nr. 108, or 174 and go to the station Kajetánka, your hostel is right in front of you. If you are accommodated in Kolej 17. listopadu, go to the subway at the station Dejvická and switch the line at the Muzeum station to red line "C". Than go to the station Nádraží Holešovice where you take a bus Nr. 112 to the station Pelc Tyrolka, your hostel is right in front of you. 3) It is also possible to take a taxi, you only have to be careful - first ask for the price, and second, before you pay ask for a bill. Be careful not to get cheated. The Prague public transport is reasonably good and cheap at the same time. You can buy tickets at every Metro station and/or from newspaper stalls. For a single journey not more than 5 stops by Metro or no longer than 20 minutes by buses/trams whitout changing, you pay 14 CZK. For a ticket which entitles you to use public transport for 75 minutes (switching included) you pay 20 CZK. Remember to punch/stamp the ticket when entering the vehicle/subway. You will be provided by a 15-days ticket when you come to your hostel, so don´t buy more than one ticket. You will get an envelope at the reception, where you find this ticket, map of Prague with marked important points and other stuff. |
