Personal comments

the cafe le patio is really nice.. but there are so many caiojna and kavarna very nice to spend an evening. The staromestska place, the well known is really outstanding but crowded by people... I would rather prefer to go in karlovo namesti or in the garden surrounded the center... That is also where you can meet tcheque people.

Overall

I wish I had known...

The tcheque student are really independant and by staying one year in a place, you need to feel integrated in the society. I have met a lot of interesting people in the field which interest me such as the dance theatre... and I have tried not to be always with the erasmus community which were always together... A way to know more the culture of the country... It is a pity not to have learn the langage...

In my opinion:

I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.
