Housing

NYU Residence Halls
If you prefer residence hall living, you may live in one of two NYU Prague residences, both of which are recently renovated and located in the residential neighborhood of Vinohrady (named for the fact that it was covered in vineyards dating back to the 14th century), a neighborhood well known for its bohemian cafés, acclaimed restaurants, and beautiful art nouveau buildings.

NYU-Leased Apartments
If you'd prefer a more independent lifestyle, you may choose from NYU-leased apartments that are available in recently renovated, early-20th-century buildings in the Nusle and Holesovice neighborhoods.
 

Location

Prague resonates with the culture of Europe, past and present. Home to writers, artists, and musicians including Kafka, Mucha, Kundera, Mozart, Dvorák, and Smetana, Prague's many cafés, art galleries, music festivals, and theatres draw international performances and audiences. The NYU Prague academic center is located in two 15th-century buildings only steps away from the Old Town Square, considered the heart of the city, where some of the finest examples of Prague's architectural accomplishments, including Gothic, Renaissance, baroque, and art nouveau styles, can be observed.
