Coach

Take a ride with Student Agency and you’ll be flattered by the reasonable price and excellent service.
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 156 km from Prague. Even if you don’t drive Toyota Prius you won’t pay much for the fuel.
Train
![]()
Although it is possible to reach Sokolov by train form Prague there is no one in the world who would recommend it. It is neither cheap (it could be cheap if you travel in a large group) nor quick but if you’re into surreal adventures this is your choice.
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).
