History school trips to Prague

Have you ever really been to Prague if you haven’t visited Prague Castle? The pinnacle landmark of the city, Prague Castle will pull your students into 1,200 years of Czech history, during which it has been the seat of power for kings of Bohemia, Holy Roman emperors and, as it is today, the country’s president. We recommend venturing to the hills, gardens and terraces within the castle grounds, where you’ll find breathtaking views of the city.

Discover the many faces of Prague on this fascinating walking tour, where your group will benefit from the unique insights of a local guide. Learn about the city’s history as you pass prominent landmarks, and uncover the tales behind Prague’s rich culture, historical oppression, and eventual rise to the booming city it is today.

One of the largest and best-equipped congress centres in Europe, the Prague Congress Centre houses several diverse spaces for business events, from conferences and seminars to trade fairs. A tour of the centre is highly recommended for business studies students, who will benefit from learning the ins and outs of organising such events and, who knows, may even get to experience an event themselves!

Delve into life behind the Iron Curtain at Prague’s Communism museum, which narrates the history of the Czech Republic throughout the 20th century. Here, your students will gain a deeper understanding of the Communist coup d’état in 1948, to life while living under the Communist regime, to the fall of Communism as a consequence of the Velvet Revolution in 1989.

Uncover the difficult history of the former Jewish ghetto when you take your students to Prague’s Jewish Quarter, known locally as Josefov. The home for Jewish people in the city for over 700 years, the area marks the historic oppressive regime where Jewish people were ordered to vacate their homes and settle here. Today, the region is a testimony to the history of Jewish people in Prague, and has some of the best-preserved Jewish monuments in Europe.

Comprised of six Jewish monuments (the Maisel, Pinkas, Spanish and Klaus Synagogues, Ceremonial Hall and Old Jewish Cemetery), the Jewish Museum in Josefov hosts one of the world’s largest collections of sacred artifacts, offering a poignant memorial to seven centuries of oppression within the Czech Republic.
