Transportation in Prague and Directions to CZ Lingua

Prague’s public transport system is efficient, fast and reasonably clean. With three metro lines, 26 tram routes and 9 night trams, you won't need to be afraid. Keep in mind that the historical centre of Prague –Prague Castle is from CZ Lingua easily accessible on foot and to the town centre you travel by metro – from Dejvicka, Line “A” to Station Staromestska, Mustek or Muzeum. Tickets, valid for all means of transport, can be purchased from the numerous vending machines at all metro stations, major tram stops and news-stands. You always need to validate your ticket yourself by stamping it in the machines at metro entrances and on trams. The most common ticket is the 26Kč transfer ticket, which is valid for 75 minutes after validating (90 minutes between 22:00 and 05:00, on weekends and public holidays). The 18Kč non-transfer ticket is meant for tram rides under 20 minutes with no changes, or in the metro for up to 5 stations (changes allowed) from the departure station within 30 minutes. We suggest you save yourself time by buying a handful of these on arrival. If you're planning to stay a bit and explore, get the one-day pass (100Kč), a three-day pass (330Kč), a five-day pass (500Kč)or thirty-day pass (550Kč, you need photo+ ca30Kč for permit)

From airport to CZ Lingua

Prague's airport is 20km from the city centre. A taxi to the town centre now costs around 600Kč, even if you call a company to pick you up or talk to one of the representatives from the reputable “AAA” car service company. We recommend that you confirm the price before entering the taxi with the driver. Do not accept a fare over 700 Kč. The cheapest way to get to CZ Lingua is by bus: N°119 (2-8 times per hour between 04:18 and 00:10) runs between the airport and the Dejvická metro station in about 20 minutes. You need to validate the ticket (once for the whole trip) in the machines on board the bus. If arriving at night, catch the night bus No. 510 (between midnight and 4.00) to the tram-bound at Divoká Šárka, then go by tram No 51 to Dejvická metro station.

From Bus to CZ Lingua

Most international buses arrive at Prague’s central Florenc bus station (Autobusové nádraží Praha Florenc (open 05:00 - 23:00). The fastest connection from the station to CZ Lingua is by tram number 8 (Florenc-Dejvicka), which takes about 20 minutes.

From Train to CZ Lingua

Prague has two main railway stations. Praha Hlavní nádraží is architecturally fabulous (in the Jugendstil tradition) although you won’t know it until you exit it’s underground nightmare. There is a tourist office (open 09:00 - 19:00. Sat, Sun 09:00 - 16:00) in the centre of the lower hall of the two levels. The easier way to school is by to take the subway one stop to Muzeum and than switch to the “A”- line to the Dejvicka station. The second station, Praha Holešovice is used by trains on the main Berlin - Prague - Vienna/Bratislava corridor. The easier way to school is by to take the subway four stops to Muzeum and then switch to the “A”- line to the Dejvicka station
