If you’re a lover of the arts, the Czech Republic has plenty of creative delights for you to enjoy. View the genre-defining Art Noveau paintings of Czech native Alphonse Mucha in his dedicated museum. Visit the famous bar, Café Louvre, where world-renown Czech writer Franz Kafka used to socialize. Spend a weekend evening touring Prague’s jazz clubs to hear live music or try the more unconventional method of riding the Jazz Boat down the Vltava. Get up close to the bizarre public sculptures of David Černý, as you roam Prague’s streets: Sigmund Freud hanging from a tall beam, Kafka’s stainless steel reflective head, and giant crawling babies. If you’re a bookworm, you’ll feel right at home in the Czech Republic, where independent bookstores continue to thrive and centuries-old libraries with dazzling interior design remain in operation.

Tap into the national enthusiasm for hockey at a live game. Spend a relaxing day at the hot spring spas in Karlovy Vary. Hike to the serene Resov Waterfalls in the Nízký Jeseník Mountains or through ecologically diverse Krkonoše National Park. Take a tour of the Konopištĕ Castle in Benešov to see the chambers of the ill-fated Archduke Franz Fredinand and stroll through the lovely grounds featuring a rose garden and resident peacocks. Experience Czech cinema at the country’s international film festival or rock out at the Rock for People music festival, if you’re in the country over the summer.

When you complete an internship abroad in the Czech Republic, you’ll get the chance to pick up some Czech language skills, further your education in one of Europe’s finest universities, build the foundation of your professional network, and live in one of the loveliest European countries.

In your spare time, you’ll find an endless number of things to enjoy thanks to the Czech Republic’s beautiful cities and landscapes and rich culture.

Romp through the devastatingly charming city of Prague, one of the most gorgeous cities in central Europe. Walk across the historic 14th century Charles Bridge and pose for a photo with one of its many Baroque statues. Check the sun and moon’s phases on Prague’s exquisite astronomical clock in the Old Town Square. Catch a show or just admire the architecture at the National Theater, home to opera, drama, and ballet performances. Rent a pedal boat in the Vltava River and enjoy a day on the water. Spend a spring or summer afternoon strolling through the picturesque Vrtba Garden, where perfectly trimmed green hedges, bright flowers, Baroque statues, and panoramic views of the city create a hidden oasis. When you’re ready to venture out of the capital, pay a visit to Olomouc or Brno, where the Czech Republic’s unique allure and culture come out in the architecture, castles, parks, and familiar red roofs.

While Czech food may be different from what you’re used to, don’t hesitate to try it out! You can’t go wrong with a hot bowl of Czech goulash or a plate of potato pancakes. If you’re more adventurous, try the classic Czech dish svíčková, featuring beef in a vegetable cream sauce with bread dumplings, whipped cream, and cranberry sauce on the side. Satisfy your sweet tooth with some fresh gingerbread from a local bakery; the Czech version of this common treat can’t be beat.

Czech Republic Points of Interest

Czech Republic Points of Interest

  • Old Town Square Prague's Old Town Square, a historic marketplace, is surrounded by Gothic and Baroque architecture. Highlights include the Astronomical Clock, Týn Church, and the Jan Hus Memorial. It's a lively hub of activity, with outdoor cafés, street performers, and seasonal markets. 
  • John Lennon Wall

    During Communist times, this otherwise normal wall became a location for the unsanctioned expression of dissent. Standard graffiti is common in other parts of Prague, but the Lennon Wall has always been the place to express support for peace, democracy, and unity. The name comes from an image of John Lennon painted by an unknown person, along with some Beatles lyrics, shortly after John Lennon was killed in 1980. The tradition has continued since then, and socially aware messages persistently replace each other on this graffiti-allowed wall

  • Charles Bridge Charles Bridge in Prague, spanning the Vltava River, is a medieval stone bridge adorned with statues of saints. Built in the 14th century, it's a pedestrian-only thoroughfare offering stunning views of Prague Castle and the city's skyline. Walking across at sunrise or sunset is a magical experience. 
  • Prague Castle Prague Castle, a sprawling complex dating back to the 9th century, is a symbol of Czech history and culture. Overlooking the Vltava River, it includes palaces, churches, and gardens. Highlights include St. Vitus Cathedral and the picturesque Golden Lane. It's a must-visit for its architectural beauty and historical significance
