Our team has prepared for you several different social and cultural activities that are designed to accompany and enhance the academic program. They’ll give you the chance to explore the beauty and charm of Prague beyond the tourist highlights and fully enjoy everything this city has to offer. You can join us and participate in all of the activities or you can choose just the ones you like the best!
All following events are included in the total price of the course. You don’t have to pay anything extra!
A professionally guided tour is one of the best ways to learn about Prague. We will take a walking tour of the historic centre. You will admire the delights of Prague’s Old Town (Staré město), above all the Old Town Square with Prague’s famous Astronomical Clock. After crossing the Charles Bridge over the Vltava River, we will make our way through the Lesser Town (Malá Strana, prague.eu)
Ice-breaker activities are an entertaining way to get to know other students in the study programme and at the same time to discover some less famous, though no less beautiful and interesting, places in Prague. We’ll do our best to prepare activities that will be fun for you.
The Vltava River is without a doubt an outstanding place from which to admire the beauty of Prague, and a river cruise through the heart of Prague is the most relaxing way to explore this beautiful city. The cruise will allow you to experience the magnificence of Prague in the late afternoon. We will enjoy views of the most notable and beautiful sights, as many of Prague’s famous attractions border the river.
Let’s experience politics in practice. We will take you on an excursion to a ministry (e.g. Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic or the Office of the Government of the Czech Republic) or the main office of a multinational institution in Prague (Representation of the European Commission to the Czech Republic).
Not only national states and multinational political institutions are the stakeholders in our globalizes world. Non-governmental organizations adopt tasks and responsibility for social and political issues as well. We are going to organize two discussions – with high state executive officers, NGO stakeholders, or experts with impact in a certain field.
In the past, our courses were always oriented on the current topics relevant to
Even though only a relatively small number of foreigners live in the Czech Republic, you can still find a great deal of cultural heterogeneity in Prague. We have prepared a special guided tour focused on cultural traces, particularly those that you might not expect would exist in our country. The tour will include an interactive element in which you will need to solve tasks and seek out answers to intriguing questions directly in the streets of the city.
Do you want to learn the most common Czech words and some useful basic phrases? Do you wonder how to correctly pronounce Czech words using diacritics like “děkuji” [thank you]? Do you wish to be able to order in a restaurant without any difficulties, even if the waiter does not speak English very well? If so, please join us for the survival Czech language workshop. We believe it will make your stay in the Czech Republic more comfortable and hopefully also a little bit more immersive.
The Prague Castle, an ancient symbol of the Czech lands, is the most significant Czech monument and the seat of the head of the state. Most likely it was founded in the 9th century. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the Prague Castle is the largest coherent castle complex in the world, with an area of almost 70,000 m2. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is comprised of palaces, ecclesiastical buildings (the best-known is the St Vitus Cathedral), defence towers and other buildings of various architectural styles. You will have the chance to walk through the castle compound with a professional guide in the late evening when there are fewer tourists and you can enjoy a relaxing walk while listening to myths and facts about the Prague Castle and its surroundings.

In the surrounding of Prague, there are many beautiful castles and historical towns. We will visit one of the much-frequented monuments of Czech history:
Konopiště
Originally a castle from the 13th century, today chateau inherently connected with its last nobleman owner Franz Ferdinand d’Este. On a guided tour you can find representative and inn-holders rooms or collection of arms and hunting trophies. After the tour, you can sit down in the Chateau Park, walk through the Rose Garden, along a fish pond or you can make an even longer tour to a picturesque village church on the top of a near hill.

or
Karlštejn
High Gothic castle founded in 1348, which has a unique position among Czech castles. It was built by Czech King and Roman Emperor Charles IV as a place for safekeeping of the royal treasures, especially Charles's collection of holy relics and the coronation jewels of the Roman Empire.

Let’s bowl! Bowling is „a sports activity“ for everybody – both experienced players and people who are trying it for the first time in their life can enjoy it together. That is what Czech people like about it and we believe you will like it as well. We will reserve places in a very nice bowling club, where you can also play billiards, air hockey, table soccer, and darts. (bowlingdejvice.cz).
