Stay In Prague<br />
arriving in prague<br />
Every student that comes to Prague will have a tutor (a person who will take care<br />
of <strong>you</strong> after arriving and if agreed, he/she will also pick <strong>you</strong> up from the place <strong>you</strong><br />
arrive), which should make <strong>you</strong>r life much easier. In the case that <strong>you</strong> decide to prove<br />
<strong>you</strong>r self-confidence, or arrive very early or very late (the time <strong>you</strong>r tutor <strong>is</strong> either<br />
sleeping or having h<strong>is</strong> 10 th beer), th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> how <strong>you</strong> will find <strong>you</strong>r way to the dormitory.<br />
All Erasmus students are staying at the same dormitory, Hostivař.<br />
Arriving by plane: there <strong>is</strong> a direct bus connection from the airport to the metro<br />
station. Just take the bus number 119 (do not <strong>for</strong>get to buy a ticket at the airport.<br />
The price of a ticket <strong>is</strong> 26 CZK and it <strong>is</strong> valid <strong>for</strong> 75 minutes in normal working days,<br />
90 minutes at night or weekends. Don't <strong>for</strong>get to valide the ticket upon entering<br />
the tram or subway). <strong>Th<strong>is</strong></strong> bus will take <strong>you</strong> all the way to the “green” metro station<br />
Dejvická in approximately 30 minutes. <strong>Th<strong>is</strong></strong> <strong>is</strong> the bus’ last stop (so do not<br />
worry that <strong>you</strong> will m<strong>is</strong>s it). Here <strong>you</strong> change to the metro, and take it all the way<br />
to the last-but-one metro station, Skalka (the journey takes approx. 30 minutes).<br />
There <strong>you</strong> get off the metro and <strong>you</strong> can take bus number 154 or 271. In 7 to 12<br />
minutes <strong>you</strong> arrive at the station Nádraží Hostivař, which <strong>is</strong> where <strong>you</strong> are staying.<br />
The dormitory <strong>is</strong> a 5 minute walk from the station. At night it gets a little bit<br />
more complicated: even though night buses and trams run, the metro stops. When<br />
arriving at night, take bus number 510 from the airport to the Dejvická station.<br />
<strong>Th<strong>is</strong></strong> bus runs only once an hour. From there <strong>you</strong> have to walk to the Hradčanská<br />
station (approx.15 minutes walk) and from there <strong>you</strong> take a night tram 57 (runs<br />
twice an hour) that will bring <strong>you</strong> all the way to the final station called Nádraží<br />
Hostivař, i.e. home. It <strong>is</strong> usually not recommended to take a cab, but in a case<br />
<strong>you</strong>r suitcase <strong>is</strong> heavy, it might be a good idea. Just be careful about the price –<br />
<strong>you</strong> should not pay more than 600 CZK to drive all the way to the dormitory.<br />
Arriving by train: the main Railway station (Hlavní nádraží) <strong>is</strong> located on the<br />
red metro line. You can just take one stop from the railway station to the station<br />
