0115 9404 303School Art trip to Prague
Once called the 'city of a hundred spires' (it now has around 500), the wealth of art, design and architecture in Prague is staggering. Gothic, Renaissance, baroque, rococo, art nouveau and cubist styles sit side by side, creating an aesthetic and cohesive unit; even the main railway station (Hlavní nádrazí) is an exquisitely decorated art-nouveau gem. Captivating visitors for centuries, such as Mozart, Beethoven, Dostoevsky, Rodin and Kokoschka, the attraction of Prague lies in its breadth and diversity. The Czech people are some of the friendliest in the world, welcoming visitors and adding to the unique atmosphere of Prague that makes the city so hard to leave.
