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
Lisette
I really liked it. The teacher was really good at his job, he could help you no matter what you were trying to illustrate with whatever technique. For me, as someone with absolutely no art experience whatsoever, it was unclear what exactly illustration practice entailed. I had the idea beforehand that it would be more of a drawing course. Nevertheless the course was really valuable: it got me going. The most import thing I learned is probably that you shouldn’t be afraid and just do and try, it will come to you eventually. The course was really helpful. The activities were really nice.

Amazing time with people from all around the world. So many cultures, new friendships and experiences make this Summer School a true deal 🙂 Course was challenging and inspiring pushing me forwards and giving me knowledge I need to use on future projects. Organisation and activities were also amazing. Got to meet Prague and experience it fully in those short 2 weeks. All in all, amazing experience and would recommend anyone putting doubts if they should take it or not. Take it!!

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!

I went on the trip thinking I knew what the school would be about... it was better than anything I could of thought. Everyone was so lovely and it really was a once in a life time trip. It’s taught me how easy it is to live in another country and I was lucky enough to meet different people from different countries and backgrounds. I feel very bless to have had to opportunity. I would easily go again.
