Whether you’re a tourist or resident of Prague, the trams and metro are extremely helpful to get you from point A to B. On my daily commute, the main tram that I use is the 22 from Pohorelec headed towards Malostranská. This brings me right to the Mánes bridge, where I cross over to get to the main building of Charles University.
Kolej Komenského is my dorm building, which is technically a hostel. It is located in Prague 6; it’s a short walk from the dorm to the tram stop.
The only tram that runs to this stop is the 22 because it runs by the Prague Castle and other tourist locations. It comes every five to ten minutes.
I usually get off the 22 at Malostranská and walk over the bridge (in the pictures below), since it is right across from my school. It’s quite a nice view in the morning before class, as it is not crowded but has a small buzz of mostly students and residents going to work.
To get from the main building to the other ECES building in Jindrišská, all you have to do is take the metro from Staromestská to Mustek. It’s just one stop, then a little bit of walking. The way home is just the reverse of the way to the main building. A bonus on the way home is seeing this beauty…
Overall, transportation in Prague is very easy to get the hang of after a few days. It allows you to see the beauty of the city with a little less walking involved.
Pro tip: To get from the airport to the city and vice versa is very easy. To get to the airport, start at any metro station nearby and head towards Nádraží Veleslavín. From there, you can take a bus (119/191) that goes to all of the terminals within twenty five minutes.
