A fascinating discovery was made during the reconstruction of the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics building in Prague 1. You can now visit the historical rotunda, which was reopened in 2016 after almost 400 years, virtually from the comfort of your home. Read more in the CU magazine Forum. |

Our Summer Tips! |
|
|
|
Marie: During the summer, I cannot miss the international film festivals in Karlovy Vary, Uherské Hradiště or Slavonice. In Prague, I like to go to the Vojanovy sady park in the centre. Among my favourite locations outside of Prague are the Mikulov and Pálava regions in the south, Okoř castle or Křivoklát castle and the surroundings! |
|
|
Zuzka: An excellent to-do list for summer would be visiting all the UNESCO sites outside of Prague. My favourites (and the ones closest to my childhood hometown) are Litomyšl and Kladruby nad Labem. |
|
|
Petra: I love paddleboarding down the river in summer – you can have a go even in Prague in Žluté Lázně. A day trip down the Sázava river is also great. Just hop on a train and get to Týnec nad Sázavou and rent a boat there. If you are a city person visiting Brno is a must. Villa Tugendhat is one of a great many sights of this South Moravian city. |
