About the City

When studying abroad in Prague, you will walk to class past UNESCO World Heritage sites. Attend class in a 17th century palace. Immerse into student life in one of central Europe’s most beautiful cities. Prague’s hidden courtyards, winding streets, traditional pubs, and eye-catching architecture are uniquely juxtaposed with the city’s very modern business and academic opportunities. With a growing economy, vibrant arts and music scenes, an influential intellectual community, and architectural styles ranging from Gothic to Baroque to Art Nouveau, Prague is an ideal setting in which to explore Czech culture. Study abroad in Prague, the city that greats like Mozart, Kundera, Rilke, and Einstein called home… and discover the magic of Prague for yourself.
