Coach

Take a ride with Student Agency::: and you’ll be flattered by the reasonable price and excellent service – more over it is the straight connection to the weekend of your dreams!

Car

Sokolov is not far from Prague which means a lot if you go by car doesn’t it? To be precise it’s exactly 148 km from Prague. Even if you don’t drive Toyota Prius you won’t pay much for the fuel.

Train

Every two hours there is a express train straight from Prague to Sokolov – but it is a kind of sightseeing tour around Ústí and North Bohemian mines. With transfers i tis cheapes, but not faster. The best is to buy your ticket in advance at “eShop”: http://www.cd.cz/en/default.htm or to travel in groups. For best views we recommend to choose a seat on the right side in the dirction of ride.

Air

We highly recommend low cost air lines which are surprisingly able to transport you for free within the whole Europe if you find the right offer. Take a chance at Ryanair (going to Altenburg in Germany) or Easyjet (going to Prague).
