Prague City Guide Tour 2025
19. 3. 2025 Authors: Zlata Pidperyhora and Anna Piliuhina On the 7th and 15th of March 2025, we held our traditional Prague city tour for the summer semester Erasmus students.We began our tour at Wenceslas Square, an ideal starting point to introduce the city and its rich history. During the tour, students not only visited some of the most famous landmarks but also gained deeper insights into the cultural and historical significance of each place. No matter where we walked, we were surrounded by centuries of history, making every step feel like a journey through time.
Our tour included several stops, such as the iconic Old Town Square, where we explored the legends of the Astronomical Clock and magnificent churches. We then admired the elegant Art Nouveau architecture of Pařížská Street and took in the breathtaking views along Prague’s picturesque riverside, with the Vltava River on one side, and Národní třída, a street deeply intertwined with the country’s political and cultural heritage.
For lunch, we had an authentic dining experience right by the Charles Bridge, with stunning views of the Vltava River and Petřín Hill. Students had the opportunity to try traditional Czech dishes for the first time, sparking lively conversations and cultural exchanges.
It was an unforgettable experience – one that not only deepened our appreciation for this wonderful city and provided an excellent opportunity to connect with the city’s past and present, making history come alive before our eyes, but also fostered new friendships and lasting memories.
We hope that these memories will inspire students to keep exploring, learning, and appreciating the beauty and history that surround us!

Metropolitan University Prague's Fleet Cruised the Waters of the Vltava
How should a university celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary? What better way to mark the occasion than with a fleet of MUP steamboats cruising along the Vltava, offering panoramic views of Old Prague, Charles Bridge, Vyšehrad and other landmarks? That would certainly be something special. And that is exactly what happened!
Digital Extremism and Emerging Threats: Insights from Expert Lectures at MUP
5. 5. 2026 Author: Oldřich Bureš
In April 2026, the Center for Security Studies and the Department of International Relations and European Studies at Metropolitan University Prague hosted thought-provoking lectures examining the evolving landscape of violent extremism. Delivered by Sean McCafferty and Adam Hanzel, both Marie Skłodowska-Curie GLOCTER Project PhD fellows, the sessions explored how terrorist actors exploit the digital environment and how new, harder-to-define forms of extremism are reshaping traditional security frameworks. Together, the lectures offered students a comprehensive look at both the online dynamics of contemporary terrorism and the emerging challenges posed by accelerationist and nihilistic violent extremist movements.
