Getting to the CZU Campus
Once you have arrived in Prague (see lower down). the basic reference point for making your way to the CZU campus is the Dejvická A metro station. After you make your way to the Dejvická station via any of the methods specified below, take bus number 107 (heading to Suchdol) or 147 (heading to Výhledy) and get off at the "Zemědělská univerzita" stop. Here you will find the entrance gate to CZU.

 

Traveling by train
Most passengers coming to Prague via train will arrive at one of Prague’s two large central stations: The Main Train Station -Hlavní nádraží (Wilsonovo nádraží), or the Holešovice station. Both stations are on metro line C (red). The Main Train Station is usually the terminal station for trains arriving from the west or from the east (Paris, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Zurich, Warsaw, Moscow), and the Holešovice station for trains from other directions (Berlin, Dresden, Vienna, Budapest, Zagreb). To get to the Dejvická station, first take the C line (red) metro to the Muzeum station and then transfer to the A Line (green) and make your way to the Dejvická station. Passengers from Western and North-western Bohemia and Pardubice can also arrive at Masarykovo nádraží where the trains terminate. If you arrive here, then take the metro via the B line (yellow) from the Náměstí republiky station (one of the entrances to this station is right next to the exit from Masarykovo nádraží!) one stop to the Můstek station and transfer to line A (green) and continue on to Dejvická.

 

Traveling by long distance bus
Passengers travelling via long distance bus from any direction, country or part of the Czech Republic will arrive at the Florenc bus station, which is right next to the Florenc metro where two metro lines intersect (B = yellow and C = red).
It is a very short trip to the Dejvická station via the metro line B first to the Můstek station, where you will transfer to line A (green), and from there you will make your way to the Dejvická station. The Prague Metro has three lines: A (green), B (yellow) and C (red). In order to get to our university, you will need to get on line A (green) and make your way to the Dejvická station. From here, using the same ticket you purchased or the metro, get on bus 107 (heading to Suchdol) or 147 (heading to Výhledy). Both stop at Zemědělská univerzita. The bus ride takes about 10 minutes.

 

Travelling by plane
The Václav Havel Airport is located 15 km west of the city centre. You can make your way to our university from the airport via public transport or taxi.

A public transport ticket costs 40 CZK. You have to buy it in advance, it’s not possible to buy it on board (only in selected vehicles, payment only by credit card). The tickets are valid for transfers to all public transport in Prague (buses, trams, metro, some trains in Prague and the cable car to Petřín) for 90 minutes (see details on the ticket). From the Václav Havel Airport, take bus 59, which will take you to the Metro A Veleslavín station. From the Veleslavín station, take the metro two stations towards Skalka/Depo Hostivař all the way to the Metro A Dejvická station.

If you are travelling in a larger group and you decide to go by taxi, ask about the price before you get in and insist that the driver drives to Suchdol via Horoměřice (it should cost about 350 CZK), instead of going twice as far via Dejvice (700 CZK). Refuse any taxi that wants to go via Dejvice. Since 2023 there is Uber Airport service. This means that if you take an airport taxi in Prague, you’ll use one of the ‘Uber Airport’ cars. As with the regular Uber taxis, the price of your journey must be pre-paid and will be decided upon based on your destination, the time of day and the demand. This means that your journey may incur surge pricing during periods of high demand, often making the official airport taxis an expensive choice. If you’re travelling during a non-peak time, you can expect a taxi for the 21 km journey from Prague Airport to the city centre to cost around €30 (CZK 650) to €36 (CZK 800). Alternatively, you can order a Bolt taxi that runs at a lower cost (download the Bolt app. first).
