It's a very pleasant city despite the slightly distant temperament of the people from Prague at first.

It's a very good atmosphere with many people on Erasmus but there are also lots of Czech students who speak English.

It's an affordable city in comparison to some other capitals. Nevertheless, it's a more expensive city that the other Czech cities. The restaurants are affordable and the drinks are too, once you know the typical places.

It's not very difficult to find a place to live but it all depends on budget. A Czech website like leboncoin.fr exists. It is annonce.cz for lettings between individuals.

How is the city's food? What are your favourite dishes?

There is everything in Prague. All the cultures are represented on a culinary level. My favourite dish is still the goulash - a typical dish from the East; however, it's different according to country.

Which places do you recommend to see in Prague?

It is recommended to see the city on the Vltava, which means to say doing a pedalo tour. It's something original and very amusing. In Summer, it is absolutely necessary to see the edge of the Vltava with the quays which are filled with ephemeral bars.
