o univerzitě
Čím byla tvá univerzita výjimečná? Jak vypadaly prostory ve kterých jsi studoval(a) a univerzitní vybavení?
The University of Palermo is spread across two areas: one located on Via Archirafi, featuring a row of historic buildings along the street, and the main campus (Viale delle Scienze), which is a 10-minute metro ride away—though the metro service is not very frequent. Anyway, for me, this was not an issue, as I spent most of my internship at the Via Archirafi site. The buildings there are not massive but are functional, with several classrooms where students can study peacefully, a large library offering a perfectly silent study environment, and various laboratories. Since my work focused on programming-based data analysis, all I needed was an office shared with colleagues and my laptop. Last but not least, you can find a small but quite interesting Zoological museum next to the university, which hosts thousands of speciemens, and an immense botanical garden at the rear of the university.
Co tě první napadne, když pomyslíš na svou "adoptivní" univerzitu. Čím byla výjimečná? Jak vypadaly prostory ve kterých jsi studoval(a) a univerzitní vybavení?
Interns are quite valued as active contributors. From the beginning, I was treated as part of the team, with my ideas and input taken seriously. My host supervisor was quite often approachable and responsive.

o městě
Jak na tebe město působilo? Jak byste jej charakterizoval/a? Co je zde zajímavého k vidění?
Palermo is a vibrant mix of history and art. I would describe it as a place where the past and present coexist harmoniously, from the stunning Arab-Norman architecture to the bustling street markets. A special mention goes to: the majestic Palermo Cathedral, the intricate mosaics of the Palatine Chapel, and the lively Vucciria and Ballarò markets. The nightlife in Palermo is equally vibrant. From lively piazzas like Piazza Sant'Anna filled with bars and music, to cozy pubs and open-air spots in areas like Mondello, the city truly comes alive after dark. If you visit the city during the warmer months, you can also enjoy Palermo’s beautiful coastal spots. Mondello Beach, with its crystal-clear waters and white sand, is just a short trip from the city center. For snorkeling lovers, places like Sferracavallo or the Marine Protected Area of Capo Gallo are a must-visit, offering pristine waters, diverse marine life, and breathtaking views. The only slight downside is the public transportation system, which is not efficiently interconnected and has limited service during nighttime hours.
o financích
Jak lze podle Tvojí zkušenosti vyjít se stipendiem? Kolik procent výdajů Vám pokrylo? Jaký je Váš názor na ceny v zemi obecně?
I received a scholarship of approximately 4500 euros, which was enough to cover my rent and food expenses for a 6-months-period. The flight tickets to Palermo cost around 2,500 CZK. There are plenty of accommodation options available for students and researchers near the university, such as apartments or shared rooms, particularly in areas like Viale delle Scienze or near Via Archirafi. The scholarship covered all of my expenses, and I found living in Palermo to be very affordable. The local cuisine is delicious, and you can eat at many bakeries and trattorias for a low price. However, it is always better to cook at home, especially since pasta is much cheaper here than in Prague.

o ubytování
Jaké ubytování sis zvolil(a)? Doporučil(a) bys jej ostatním? A pokud ne, jaká varianta ubytování je podle Tvých zkušeností nejlepší (kolej, ubytování v soukromém bytě, soukromá kolej, sdílený pokoj a podobně...)?
The university's administration offers a service to help students find accommodation. In my case, the housing options available through this service were already fully booked. However, thanks to the help of my host supervisor, I was able to secure a place in a private apartment. It seems that the best way to find accommodation in Palermo is through word-of-mouth and the support of colleagues or host tutors, as they often know who to contact and can help you find a place as quickly as possible.
o zážitcích
Využil(a) jsi Erasmu k cestování po tvé zemi/Evropě? Jaké jsou tvoje nejlepší cestovatelské zážitky? Co naopak nedoporučuješ?
Jazyk a kultura: jakých kulturních odlišností jste si všiml/a? Jak jste se vypořádával/a s národním jazykem? Byl to i jazyk vašeho studia? Máte pocit, že jste se v jazyce díky pobytu posunul/a?
závěrečné hodnocení
Proč právě sem? V čem je lokalita výjimečná? Proč bys své kamarády do své země/ města poslal/a ty?
I highly recommend the availability of professors and colleagues, who are always willing to engage with you. As for Palermo, it is an excellent destination for those who love the sun, the sea, delicious food, and art.
