How to Get THere

We recommend that you arrive in Plzeň well in advance to allow enough time for check-in and accommodation.

You can easily reach Plzeň by train or bus from Prague. Czech Railways (České dráhy) operate trains such as the R Berounka, IC Ostravan, Ex Bavorský expres, or IC Západní Expres, which connect Plzeň with Prague and other major cities. There is also a convenient bus connection operated by FlixBus from Prague. Trains usually arrive at Plzeň hlavní nádraží (Plzeň Main Station) or other smaller stations in the city, depending on the route. Buses typically stop at the Plzeň Central Bus Station (CAN). We recommend booking your tickets in advance, especially for your return trip.

Public transport

After arriving at Plzeň hlavní nádraží (main train station) or Plzeň Central Bus Station (CAN), you can easily reach the University of West Bohemia Campus by public transport. From the main railway station (Plzeň hl. n.), take trolleybus No. 15 or 16 (direction Borská pole/Sídliště Bory) directly from the station and change at the stop U Práce to tram No. 4 (direction Univerzita) for the final stop Technická. If you arrive at the Central Bus Station (CAN), you can take tram line No. 1/2 to the city centre (stop “U Synagogdy”), where you change to tram line No. 4 (direction Univerzita) at the stop “Sady Pětatřicátníků” (aprox. 1 minute walk). Again, get off at “Technická”. Please note that you can also take the tram no. 4 in the direction of Bory. However, it ends one stop before the Technická stop and you will have to walk a little to get to the Faculty.

Plzeň has an extensive public transport network with affordable tickets, making it the preferable way to move quickly around the city. You can buy single tickets directly inside the vehicles using your contactless credit or debit at a color touchscreen terminal (usually by the second door).For up-to-date connections and schedules, please check www.pmdp.cz or search with IDOS.

Travelling by car from Prague

Take the D5 motorway towards Plzeň and exit at Plzeň-jih (exit 80). Turn right towards Plzeň on road no. 27 (E53). At the roundabout in Bory, turn left (Folmavská Street), and at the first traffic lights turn left again (past the Bauhaus store). Follow this road to the end — you will arrive directly at the university campus. There are also routes from the city centre, from Domažlice, or from Rozvadov.
