Take bus 119, which is the best way into the city. Buy a three-day public transport pass for 310 Czech crowns. I think you’ve got the address of our flat, right? I’ll be home by the time you arrive. It’s nice and not too cool here, definitely not cold, but make sure you bring some warm clothes. Also, yes, it’s a good idea to change some money before you come. About 3,000 crowns should do.
