About Zeitraum Student Housing
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.

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:
- The National Gallery
- DOX Contemporary Art Centre
- Výstaviště Praha – the cities premier fairground and exhibition space
- Letna Park & Stromovka Park- two of Prague’s largest green spaces
- Numerous refurbished markets, cafes and restaurants
