Classrooms
PRAGUE
Prague is one of Europe’s most beautiful and most visited capitals, known for its historic centre, impressive architecture and lively summer atmosphere. But Prague is much more than a postcard city – it is also full of parks, cafés, cultural events and places where you can enjoy student life beyond the classroom. European Summer School gives you the chance to study in the heart of the city while also experiencing the everyday energy of Prague.
CLASSROOMS
Our courses take place at the French Institute, in a central location close to Wenceslas Square. The venue offers a great base for summer study in the city centre, with easy access by public transport and plenty of cafés, shops and lunch options nearby. The current Location page also notes that ESS uses several classrooms there during the summer.
ACCOMMODATION
Most students choose to stay in Student House Botič (more about it in Accommodation tab), the accommodation recommended and arranged by ESS. Staying there is not mandatory, but it is the most convenient option and the place where many students stay together during the programme. It also creates a more social atmosphere, as ESS coordinators and activity leaders are around there as well, and many organised activities start from this point.
From Student House Botič to the French Institute
Getting between the accommodation and the classrooms is easy. There is a direct tram connection, and students can take tram 6 or 24 towards Václavské náměstí, which is the stop used for reaching the French Institute area.
The journey from Student House Botič to the French Institute is roughly 15–20 minutes by tram.

Testimonials
Tiziano
I came to the design thinking course to learn and get an overview of this approach, it helped me a lot to figure out the design process. Now i feel more confident with the methodology. The materials shared were really valuable and the course was taught in the best possible way. I really enjoyed it and I higly appreciated the activities that ESS was proposing everyday. You can discover and enjoy the city, you'll live in an international context and you'll make for sure new good friends. At the end of the courses there's a cerimony where everyone can shows the output and also get a certificate. I was in team with a Portugeuse engineer and a Japanese master student, we worked on a project for a pharmacy of Prague. I'm happy to remember the time we spent on it and all the great moments I shared with the participants of the summer school. Thank you ESS! It was definitely an amazing experience.

While searching for the course to take both for educative and entertaining, encountered the European Summer School (not knowing a lot about it, took the risk and applied). Never could believe it will be such interactive activities along with 5 hours long lessons. Happy to be part of this class and be one of participants of such a diverse group. The team was well-supportive in all matters! Highly recommend to apply!

My time at the ESS has been an amazing experience. The Advertising and PR course was both educational and fun. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring Prague on my own and during the fun activities planned by the organization. I met a lot of really nice people and would definitely recommend ESS to everyone looking for a great time.
