School trips to Prague

Why visit Prague?

Explore the economy

A business studies school trip to Prague will offer you the opportunity to learn more about the country’s economy and how it has developed since the fall of Communism and the Iron Curtain.

Prague is an exceptional choice for a business studies school trip because it offers students a fascinating insight into a post-Communist Central European economy. In terms of GDP per capita in purchasing power standard, Prague is actually the third best performing region in the whole of the EU and is often cited as one of the best cities in Central Europe for business.

Your business studies school trip to Prague will offer your students some unique experiences. A highlight could be an economics seminar at Prague’s prestigious Charles University. The exact content can be tailored to meet your specific requirements but some examples of past topics include the economic development of the Czech Republic since the collapse of Communism and the Czech accession to the European Union.

Discover a Central European gem

Historically, Prague was the capital of the Kingdom of Bohemia and an important city in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. And it remains an economic, cultural and political centre for central Europe. As such, a school trip to Prague offers your students the opportunity to learn more about central Europe as a whole.

Famous for its magnificent medieval architecture, including its ancient castle and the world-famous Charles Bridge, Prague offers the perfect setting in which to learn more about the fascinating history and culture of the Czech Republic. Your students will love exploring the large historic centre, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Explore the effects of Communism

Czechoslovakia, as it was known then, was under Communist rule for over 40 years until the Velvet Revolution of 1989. So, a school trip to Prague offers a fantastic opportunity for students to learn about this period.

A visit to the Museum of Communism will transport them back in time to post-WW2 Communist Prague. They’ll explore what was being taught in schools, find out how goods were limited in shops and find out what happened in secret police interrogation rooms.
