Charles University, Faculty of Physical Education and Sport
Charles University is located in Prague and is one of the world’s oldest universities. Nearly 50,000 students attend this university, including around 7000 international students. There is a large and active student community in the city, and the modern transport system makes it easy to get around to taste the many different beers the Czech Republic is known for.
The ‘City of a Hundred Spires’ is the capital of the Czech Republic. The city’s intriguing history unfolds as you pass the Prague Astronomical Clock and street art in the Old Town and continue across the iconic Charles Bridge and up to Prague Castle in Hradcany. There are also plenty of opportunities to view modern art and listen to music while you are there.
