Prague for Students

The banks of River Vlatava are surrounded by the charismatic hills and surroundings of the Hradcany castle district while the other boasts of the 10th century medieval Old Town. There is no better way to appreciate both sides of Prague town than by strolling on Charles Bridge in the company of iconic 11th-century statues.

 

In the Old Town stroll through the lanes and admire the medieval-styled houses and churches. Start with the Baroque at the Church of Saint Nicholas, moving towards the Kinsky Palace and then finally the Astronomical Clock next to the Old Town Hall. It is quite an odd clock with the apostles. On your way, make sure to click pictures of the Gothic Powder Gate. Catch a funicular from Little Quarter to the top of Prague's castle district and visit the observation tower that overlooks this amazing city. Then get down the hillside towards the castle by noon if you want to witness the changing of the guard on time. Also, make sure to visit St Vitus’s Cathedral and Golden Lane for a fanciful line of artisan cottages.

You can visit various parks and palace gardens or go in search of authentic Czech cuisine. Taste traditional beer, flavoured ice cream and U Medvidku.
