Final comments
Reside at the dormitory, much of the social life happens or at least origins there. The czech republic is beatiful and take the opportunity to see cesky krumlov and olomouc(is said to have the prettiest girls in the CR). By train its not far to budapest, Vienna and Krakow and just enjoy.
