🚶‍♂️ How to Get to the University

Directions from your accommodation to the university and local transport tips:

by Tram

European culture prefers public bus/tram transport. You can plan your trip at idos.cz https://idos.cz/en/vlakyautobusymhdvse/spojeni/?changeShield=true.For one journey you need a regular 2-zone ticket (zone 100+101). It costs 25CZK (~1EUR). It can be purchased directly at the tram/bus/trolleybus by tapping your card against the yellow machine at each door - more details: https://www.pipniajed.cz/en.html https://www.pipniajed.cz/en.html.Do not forget to pay for your ride, there are checks (“revize jizdenek”) on the public transport, the experience of being caught is not pleasant and can be quite costly (>1000 CZK).

*

getting from “Main Railway Station” (“Hlavni nadrazi”) to BUT Dorm accommodationTake train number “12” towards “/Technologicky park/” and get off at the final station “/Technologicky park/”. Than walk 10min https://mapy.com/s/pesepozena.

*

getting from “Main Railway Station” (“Hlavni nadrazi”) to FIT BUT - JSALT2025 venue Take train number “1” towards “Řečkovice” and get off at the station “Semilasso”. Than walk 5min https://mapy.com/s/remejavahu.

by Taxi

*

Taxis, Bolt https://bolt.eu/en-cz/cities/brno/or Uber https://www.uber.com/global/en/r/cities/brno-south-moravian-cz/also offer affordable transportation within Brno. Unlike Prague where the danger of getting cheated by a taxi driver is quite high, Brno taxis have a much better reputation.
