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
Ajita
Working on a project with students from other countries was a great learning experience in terms of understanding the differences and similarities between the cultures and perspectives that are observed in different parts of the world. I wrote very interesting article about my European Summer School experience here.

Elif
I found out many new things about compositions, colors and painting methods, which helped me to improve my creative, visual and drawing skills. I met lovely people from all over the world and I also learnt something about their culture. I had lot of fun, gained unforgettable memories, and explored a beautiful city – all thanks to European Summer School.
Yasmeen
I was enrolled in the personal and professional development course - it consists of many practical elements which helps you bond with your fellow classmates and apply the knowledge you have gained. I particularly enjoyed the focus on public speaking. The accommodation suited our needs and the activity coordinators gave us the experience of a lifetime in Prague (thank you team ESS!). If you are looking for a light, fun and enriching summer course - this is the place for you!
