Incoming Exchange Students

Need a break from Prague’s busy streets? 🌿 Prague Botanical Garden is spread across a large hillside above the Vltava and is a good choice when you want a slower day with plenty of space to explore. 💡 Good to know before you go: • The garden is located next to Prague Zoo, so you can easily combine both in one day. • Allow at least 2–3 hours if you want to see more than just the main highlights. • Some parts of the garden are outdoors, so comfortable shoes and sun protection are useful in summer. • The garden hosts seasonal exhibitions and events, so check the programme before your visit. • You can get to Troja by public transport from the city centre, with the final part of the journey usually by bus. If you have already seen Prague’s main sights, this is an easy way to spend a quieter summer afternoon away from the crowds. 🌱 #SummerTips #PragueBotanicalGarden #Troja #StudyInPrague #VSEInternationalStudents

Looking for a quick stop with a bit more meaning behind it? 🎨 The Lennon Wall became an important place of expression during the communist era, when people started leaving messages inspired by John Lennon, peace and resistance. Over the years, it has developed into one of Prague’s best-known street art landmarks. 💡 Good to know before you go: • You’ll find it on Velkopřevorské náměstí, just a few minutes from Charles Bridge. • It’s free to visit and accessible at any time. • If you want to leave your own message, use chalk, pencil or marker rather than spray paint. • It’s a relatively small spot, so you can easily include it in a walk through Malá Strana, Kampa or along the Vltava. • Early morning is usually a better time if you want to avoid larger crowds. A small stop, but one with a unique place in Prague’s modern history. ✌️ #SummerTips #LennonWall #Prague #MalaStrana #StudyInPrague #VSEInternationalStudents
