Lodging

 * Hotel Imos (google maps) - studios (2+2) - two double bed rooms with shared kitchen and bathroom.


 * Direction from the hotel to University - Approximately 10 to 15 minutes by public transport (tram #1, tram stop Hrncirska, ticket for 15CZK)


 * Directions from Central railway station (and bus station for SA buses) to hotel IMOS - Approximately 20 minutes by public transport (tram no #1 - towards Reckovice), ticket for 15CZK)

Travel
There are several airports around Brno; http://whichbudget.com can be used to see which budget airlines operate flights to a destination; for your convenience, the airport names below are linked there; http://skyscanner.net can help you finding non-direct connections. For information about booking the train or bus tickets, follow the links in the rightmost column.

Note: the times include the time needed to get from the airport to the railway or bus station.

There are no relevant return discounts for trains, and the budget airlines often offer no return discount as well, so there is little incentive to use the same airport for both direction. Thus it might be a good idea, for example, to visit Vienna during your return journey; for details, see Vienna -> Brno.
