Directions

If you come here by bus you will almost certainly arrive at Florenc. However please check this in advance with your bus company so that we can give you different directions if necessary. You need one ticket for the whole journey which costs 20Kc. If you have luggage bigger than 25cm x 45cm x 70cm you have to buy a separate 10 Kc ticket for each piece.

It is extremely important to call the moment you arrive in the country so that we can be sure that there is someone to greet you when you arrive. There are plenty of call boxes which take coins at the airport. If you have a GSM phone please bring that and give us your number so we can contact you if necessary. Our numbers are:

257531941 (land-line)

731087899 (mobile)
To call from a foreign mobile just add +420.

The metro station is about 50m from the bus station and clearly marked. Please take the yellow (B) line two stops in the direction of Zlicin. Get off at Narodni Trida. When you get to the street level you will see a tram stop out in the street to your left. Take a tram number 22 or 23 going towards your right. Get off at Malostranske Namesti. Please note that the tram stops are announced in advance so it is difficult to make a mistake. Malostranske Namesti is the third stop after you cross the river.

When you get out of the tram you will be next to a car-park. Walk across the car-park and go up the hill a short way and you will be in Nerudova. Go to number 7 (on the left) and press the doorbell marked "The Castle Steps". If you forgot to call from the airport, there might not be anyone to greet you. In this case carry on up the hill another 100m and you will find call-boxes which take coins. Please call them and they will come within a few minutes.

Getting picked up

If you like we can arrange for you to be picked up from the bus station: this costs £7/$14/€11 for up to four people. Somebody will be waiting for you with a sign with your name on it, and they will stay there even if your flight is delayed. Just let us know on the booking form and we will make all the arrangements.

However it isn't difficult to get into town using public transport.
