Map zoom How to get to the NTL

You will find the NTL between Thákurova, Studentská and Technická streets and Fleming square. If you are using Prague public transport, it would be best to travel by underground to the Dejvicka station (the A line) and from there it is a several minute walk to the NTL – see the map above.
