Towering above the city, Prague Castle is the largest ancient castle complex in the world and the historic seat of Czech kings, emperors, and presidents. At its heart stands St. Vitus Cathedral, a Gothic masterpiece centuries in the making, with soaring spires, stained glass, and royal tombs. Students explore the courtyards, palaces, and St. George’s Basilica while studying the political and religious history of the Czech lands. The hilltop setting also offers sweeping views across the red rooftops of the city below.

Spanning the Vltava River, the Charles Bridge has connected the two halves of Prague since the fourteenth century. Lined with baroque statues and watched over by medieval defensive towers, it is one of the most iconic landmarks in The Czech Republic—and even all across Europe. Students walk the same stones used by kings and merchants for more than six hundred years while learning about the city’s growth as a center of trade and culture. The bridge offers a memorable vantage point on the castle, the river, and the historic skyline.

The Old Town Square is the historic and cultural center of Prague, framed by pastel facades, Gothic towers, and the famous medieval Astronomical Clock. Rising over the square is the Church of Our Lady before Tyn, the dramatic twin spired Tyn Church that has defined the skyline since the fourteenth century. Students wander the surrounding medieval streets and architecture, browse shops and markets found throughout the old town, and study how the city center evolved across Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque eras. The square brings centuries of Prague’s history together in a single setting.

Prague’s Jewish Quarter, known as Josefov, preserves one of the most important Jewish heritage sites in Europe. Students visit historic synagogues and the haunting Old Jewish Cemetery, where thousands of gravestones stand layered together over centuries. The quarter tells a profound story of Jewish life, culture, and resilience, including the devastating history of the twentieth century. It offers a powerful and reflective complement to lessons in history, religion, and human rights.

Wenceslas Square is the modern heart of Prague and a stage for pivotal moments in Czech history, including the Velvet Revolution of 1989. Today it is a lively boulevard of shops, cafes, and cultural landmarks where students can see contemporary Czech life alongside its political past. Nearby, the Illusion Art Museum offers an interactive, hands-on experience with optical illusions and the science of perception, a favorite stop for younger students. Together the two sites pair living history with engaging, interactive learning.

A short journey south of Prague, Cesky Krumlov is a UNESCO World Heritage town that looks as though it stepped out of a fairy tale. A meandering river loops around its medieval center, crowned by an enormous castle with a striking painted tower. Students explore cobblestone lanes, Renaissance and Baroque buildings, and one of the best preserved town centers in Europe. The town offers a vivid contrast to the capital and a deeper look at small town life in the Czech lands.

Many groups extend their Czech Republic tour by combining Prague with other great cities of Central Europe.
