The closest metro stations are Hlavní Nádraží (line C) and Náměstí republiky (line B). You can walk from those stations — it is about 15 minutes walk — or you can use tram #5, #9 and #26 and exit at Husinecká station (it is the first stop from Hlavní nádraží and the second stop from Náměstí republiky).
Room NB473 is located in so called “New Building” (Nová budova) on the floor number 4.
It is very easy to get to this room. Stand in front of Churchill’s statue and look in the same direction as Winston. Then turn to the right. You will see few stairs and entrance into the university. But you will not use this entrance. Instead you will walk around this building from the left. You should pass by crossbar for cars and then go straight to the entry into the “New Building” (Nová budova). You will be staring into the concrete wall. From the oposite side of this wall you will find lifts. Take lift to floor number 4 (press number 4 in the lift). Leave the lift. The room NB473 is just around the right corner.
If you get lost try to follow signs of university navigation system or call Jirka at +420 604 924 664.
