About Zeitraum Student Housing
AAU is proud to partner with Zeitraum Student Housing as our exclusive provider.
Located at U Průhonu 56, in Prague 7, in a newly refurbished building, Zeitraum offers housing for AAU students and other young professionals in Prague. The building is approximately 25 minutes to the AAU campus by public transport and offers facilities equipped for comfortable student living.
The building has 7 floors, 111 total rooms, and the possibility to choose from double or single rooms.
It’s no mistake that Holešovice has been named one of the top 10 coolest neighborhoods in Europe according to TheGuardian.com. AAU students have the opportunity to live in Prague 7, the original industrial quarter, where factory buildings and abandoned warehouses have since turned into art galleries and breweries on the banks of the Vltava River. Thanks to the convenient location and recent surge in popularity Holešovice is home to an eclectic group of students, international expats, and locals alike. In this up-and-coming district, you can find:
- Trade Fair Palace National Gallery
- DOX Contemporary Art Centre
- Jatka 78 Cultural Space
- Výstaviště – the city’s premier fairground and exhibition space.
- Letna Park & Stromovka Park– two of Prague’s most popular green spaces.
- Numerous refurbished markets, restaurants, and cafes for working like Vnitroblock.
