The public transport
Brno is very well covered by a network of trams and buses, which is especially helpful during the night. The basic ticket costs 25 CZK for 60 minutes, which should cover most of your travels in the city. However, it’s better to buy a pre-paid card for your daily trips. The schedule can be found on this website: link
After arrival
You’ll be given a key to your room and bed sheet at the reception of the dorms. Drop off your luggage, have a shower, chill. When you feel like going back to action, stop by in our office (link will be added). We’ll tell you that you look great, give you a welcome pack (full of gifts), brew you a coffee or tea.
Accommodation Office
One of the first things which you should do immediately after your arrival is to visit the Accommodation office (it's located at PPV dorms, block A06, 2nd floor, room 028, entrance through reception in block A03). At the office, you have to sign the contract and pay the deposit and first rent. One important note: your internet connection works only after you sign the contract (you will get the login information and password), so we recommend you to do that as soon as possible. Unfortunately for you, the office it's not open during the weekend, so in that case plan the visit on the first working day: opening hours and more info (link will be added).
The foreign police
Are you an incoming student from any of the EU countries (or from Norway, Lichtenstein, Iceland, Switzerland) and do you stay in a dormitory owned by the university? If yes, you don’t need to worry. The residence will take care of your registration. In other cases see our page about foreign police (link will be added).
