Skoda Factory in Mlada Boleslav

I am interested in visiting the Skoda Factory in Mlada Boleslav.

I%26#39;ve visited their website but need information on traveling to Mlada Boleslav from Prague. They suggest using a bus but I feel more comfortably by train. I will be traveling alone with little knowledge of the Czech language so I think train travel may be a little easier for me.

By train, is the factory close by? If not, how do I reach the factory? The tour is about 3 hours so I thought of making a full day in Mlada Boleslav. Are there other interesting sites?

Any tips you can provide are appreciated. Thanks!

The reason Skoda suggested bus is that the bus station in Mlada Boleslav is right by the museum, about 200 metres across the railway line.

The railway station is called Mlada Boleslav mesto (town) and is not on the main line. The main station is called Mlada Boleslav Hlavni nadrazi (direct train from Prague) but is about 1.5 - 2 kilometres from the museum. You would have to either wait for another train connection, take a bus, or walk.

For train timetable see

for map of Boleslav see http://www.mapy.cz/ - and in top left line (Hledej - look for) input - Vaclava Klementa Mlada Boleslav , the museum is just by the bus station.
