Located in the medieval center of Prague, the Institute is convenient to art galleries, book shops, art supply stores as well as an outdoor fruit and vegetable market, cafes, and restaurants.
Students commute about 20 minutes from their residence, a small hotel (pension) located on a hill overlooking the city via subway or tram.
