Travel

The exchange rates for the Czech Crown are correct at the airport and when using ATM machines (also available at Trest). In Trest square there are two small bank branches - Ceska Sporitelna and Komercni banka.
However, BE AWARE that in downtown Prague the rates in the "exchange huts" are generally bad, and worse, they are given as selling rates even if this is NOT stated on the announcements put up outside the huts.

Here is a link to transportation in Czech Republic where you will find a timetable of the regular buses from Prague to Trest. (price 135 CZK)

“School Bus”

You may like to benefit from the transportation the School will organize from Prague to Trest on Sunday 19 August.
We have arranged a meeting point at Masarykova kolej, address: Thakurova 1, 16000 Praha 6,- the place is easily accessible from the airport as well as from Prague main train station (see details about the location of Masarykova kolej  below).
There will be 2 buses organized during Sunday 19^th August to bring people from Masarykova kolej to Trest.

We will charge you the same price as a regular bus ticket (money will be collected during the School). Price of a one way ticket will be 135 CZK or about 8 CHF.-
We will also organize a “school bus” from Trest to Prague on 1^st September.
