A fairy-tale city with more than one hundred spires. The site of the Velvet Revolution and a controversial American attack. Built on hills, cut through by the River Vltava and home to the largest castle area in the world. With a city centre of UNESCO World Heritage status, Prague is one of Europe’s premier tourist destinations.

Look for the Astronomical Clock in the cobbled streets of Staré Mesto and see the colourful houses of Golden Lane. Chart the history of the city in the City of Prague Museum and contemplate the 12,000 tombstones in the Jewish cemetery. Join the street artists on Charles Bridge and trace the Czech Republic’s communist past at the Museum of Communism. See a puppet show, a mime or a Czeh opera. Explore the courtyards and gardens of the imposing Hradcany Castle - one of the largest castles in the world.

Located in the heart of Europe, Prague can be reached overland through France and Germany, or via a short flight from the UK. STS offer accommodation in a spacious hotel, with good access to the city centre. Students will be enchanted by this magical city, amazed by its unique history and enthused by its progressive attitude and well-preserved culture.
