Main Campus and how to get there

Map of the campus
The main Dejvice Campus is located in the north-western part of the town close to Dejvická metro station. Technická street goes through the middle of the campus.

Directions from the airport to the main Dejvice campus
Prague’s RUZYNĚ Airport is located 15 km west of the city centre. There are banks and automats for changing money (daily 7:00 – 23:00), a car-rental office and public phones, bar, shops, etc. You can make your way from the airport to the main Dejvice campus by city bus, airport shuttle or taxi. The city bus is recommended.

A cheap and very effective way of getting to the main CTU campus is by city bus no. 119, which brings passengers from the airport to Dejvická metro station. The bus ticket costs only CZK 20. Buy it in advance, from a booth or from the yellow ticket machine, and frank it when you get on the bus. The service is very frequent, and the travel time to the main Dejvice campus is about 20 minutes. The 119 bus terminates at the Diplomat Hotel, right next to the CTU campus at Dejvice.

Directions from railway stations to main Dejvice campus
Passengers travelling to Prague by train typically pull into one of two central stations: Hlavní nádraží (Main Station) or Nádraží Holešovice (Holešovice Station). Both are on line C of the metro system and offer a number of services, including money exchange, post office, and a luggage-storage area. The main station is usually the terminus for trains from the west (Paris, Frankfurt) and east (Budapest), while Holešovice station is for through trains from Berlin and Dresden to Vienna. The main Dejvice campus is located near Dejvická metro station. You take the metro to Muzeum station and there you can transfer to line A (green). Dejvická is the last stop at the north-west end of line A.

Best time to arrive

In order to avoid inconveniences for everyone involved it is strongly recommended that you try to book your ticket to arrive on a weekday during regular office hours of 8:00 to 16:00. If you arrive during the weekend or late in the evening, you will have difficulty finding any university staff. If you arrive by train, please specify which station, and remain on the platform until you are met (it is almost impossible to locate you after you have left the platform). Try to avoid arriving at an anti-social time. If the rendez-vous is unsuccessful, phone your contact person or the international office: 22435 3466 (22435 3467, 22435 3465). If all else fails, you will find reasonably priced accommodation at offices at the main railway station (Hlavní nádraží). The left luggage office at the main station is also a safe and inexpensive place to leave your luggage.

ORIENTATION WEEK
The International Office, with the International Students Club, organises an orientation week that is held during the week before classes begin. During this week you will register for classes, get your timetable of classes, settle accommodation matters, arrange your city transport pass and meal tickets, sign up for sports activities, get an e-mail account, and register with the university libraries. You will also be informed about CTU, life in Prague and the Czech Republic, and Prague’s transportation system. You will be accompanied around the main campus and around Prague. Activities may also include cultural events such as a theatre or ballet performance, an excursion to a brewery, or a day trip to visit a historical site.
