While this deal was agreed before the COVID-19 Trends outbreak that had a notable impact on investment activity, the sentiment remains somewhat positive with at least one deal expected to close later this year. So far there is no evidence of COVID-related yield change, however, some upward pressure is expected given the increased uncertainty and restricted Prime Yields access to financing. Nevertheless, the relatively high number of investors looking for opportunities and lack of assets on the market should prevent any major change.

This was primarily driven by a significant drop in occupancy to 21% (down by Performance 73%), as well as a decline in ADR by 27% to €67.

Its first university was established as early as 1348. It was the first university of its kind in central Europe. Famous European scholars of the late Renaissance, such as astronomers Tycho Brahe and Johannes Keppler, lived and worked in Prague. Throughout the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries many scholars and scientists of world renown held chairs at Prague’s Charles University. In the late 19th and early 20th century Ernst Mach and Albert Einstein held chairs at the Department of Theore- 4 STUDENT GUIDE CULS PRAGUE tical Physics at the German University of Prague. French, German and particularly Italian architects, sculptors and garden designers, have given Prague a unique cosmopolitan flair.
