Staropramen Brewery
Always a popular excursion this one! Only traditional Czech brewing methods are used to create this well known export. A tour of the brewery will tell your students more about the techniques, history and effects on the local economy.
Prague Old Town
There are some fantastic examples of architecture within the old part of Prague and the historical and cultural sites are best described with a guide. Orloj Clock, Wenceslas Square and Powder Gate are just a few highlights.
The Bone Church
Just outside of Prague, to the east, is the Bone Church, a monument to the 40,000 victims of the Plague that swept across Europe in the 14th century. The bones of the dead are artistically displayed as a permanent exhibit.
Prague Castle
In the centre of the city, against the backdrop of the cathedral, is Prague castle which dates back to the 8th century. This is the largest ancient castle in the world and needs a good half day to explore completely.
Prague Ghost Hunt
This evening visit takes you around the cobbled streets and narrow alleyways of Prague revealing the dark secrets with the odd ghoulish surprise thrown in. Not for the easily scared!
Theresienstadt Concentration Camp
Originally designed as part of a fortress to protect the monarchy at the end of the 17th century, Terezin was turned into a Nazi concentration camp in WWII. Many of the 80,000 Czechs killed in the Holocaust died here.
