01 Prague Castle

The Defenestration of Prague took place at this huge and ancient castle, an event that sparked the Thirty Years’ War, drawing many of the states of Europe into conflict and playing an important role in modern understandings of statehood. After touring the castle, students can reflect on the roots and possible causes of the conflict.

02 Boat tour on the River Vltava

Take to the River Vltava for a most relaxing way to take in the sights of Prague. Choose from a traditional steamer or cruise boat for a view of the city from the water. The English translation brings the sights to life such as National Theatre, Prague Castle and Charles Bridge.

1 hour See on map
03 Charles Bridge

This magnificent 14th century stone bridge is the main pedestrian route connecting the Old Town with the Lesser Town and Prague Castle. During the day you can join the crowds watching the street performers and enjoy fairy-tale views of the city skyline. Early morning and evening are good times to come for a relaxing stroll and admire the bridge’s 75 statues.

30 minutes See on map
04 Folklore Evening, Prague

An organised evening out provides a great chance to eat, dance and be merry. Student groups can try the local food whilst watching a traditional Czech dance and listening to typical live music.

3 hours See on map
05 Czech Museum of Music

This museum houses a rich collection encompassing its Music Notation Archive and Recordings Library, manuscripts, iconography, materials from personal estates, musical instruments and items from the two great Czech composers, Smetana and Dvorak. It is set in the renovated church of St Mary Magdalene that blends baroque architecture with contemporary design

06 Opera performance, Prague

Prague has three beautiful opera houses where you can see unforgettable performances. The Estates Theatre dates back to 1783, and its programme is weighted towards Mozart productions – he conducted his premiere of Don Giovanni here. The Prague State Opera, built in 1888, and the neo-Renaissance National Theatre both present fine, varied opera programmes.

2 hours See on map
07 Black Light Theatre Performance

Black light theatre makes use of a UV light on fluorescent costumes and objects on a dark stage to create intricate visual illusions. The technique, paired with the expressive artistry of dance, mime and acrobatics creates remarkable spectacles. Your group can see a performance by WOW, the youngest and biggest of Prague’s nine black light theatres.

2 hours See on map
08 Sedlec Ossuary

A visit to the Sedlec Ossuary is a macabre yet peaceful experience. This Gothic medieval chapel is decorated inside with the bones of more than 40,000 humans. There’s a huge bone chandelier and bone coat of arms. The chapel ossuary had such a lot of human remains as its grounds were consecrated with soil from Jerusalem, so many people wanted to be buried there.

9 Funicular in Karlovy Vary

Western Bohemia’s famous spa town, Karlovy Vary, is a favourite of wealthy Russians. The best way to enjoy views of its decorative 19th-century houses, and the rivers and valleys beyond is to take a funicular ride to Diana Lookout Tower. It’s in a pretty forested spot where you can enjoy lunch and watch the peacocks. You can walk back to town along woodland trails.

Performance venues

Podebrady Spa The spa town of Podebrady is easily accessible from Prague and an excellent choice for a concert. The large, covered stage provides a professional decor for performances of all types of music and is especially suitable for large orchestras.
Hlalol Concert Hall The building of Prague Hlahol was built in 1905 for choir rehearsals. Architectonically, the building is considered to be one of the finest Art Nouveau monuments of its kind. A piano, changing rooms and toilets are available on site for the group.
Marianske Lazne The Colonnade in the elegant spa town of Marianske Lazne is home to concerts from April well into Octobre and is suitable for most types of groups. It is an ornate performance space which is undercover and concerts here are promoted as part of the town's calendar of cultural events.
Colonnade, Karlovy Vary This grand colonnade hosts summer concerts nearly every day. A programme here will attract large crowds of tourists who will be sipping the medicinal waters of the spa.
Church of St Anna, Karlovy Vary We’re fond of this deconsecrated venue which has begun another life as a culture centre. Concerts as used as fundraisers for the restoration of the building and the current, rather bare, appearance provides a clean acoustic.
Community Centre of Mother Theresa The stage is large enough for a maximum of 30 musicians or 40 singers, however the bigger ensembles can be split to two levels. The rules about the kind of music that can be performed in this church are not as strict as other roman-catholic churches.
Czech Museum of Music This is an excellent venue for those groups wishing to perform in a more formal setting. Most group types are welcome and performances are well advertised and supported.
