Trips to Prague for History Students

A half day tour of Prague on foot and public transport with your local guide will cover all the major historical sites of the city: Old Town Square, Charles Bridge, Malá Strana (including Church of St Mikulas) and the Castle District.

Explore the centre of Jewish Prague prior to 1939 and one of the best preserved Jewish districts in Central Europe. Sights include the Old Jewish Cemetery, where over 100,000 people are buried and the Jewish Museum.

Europe’s oldest surviving Jewish cemetery and one of the most impressive sights in Prague, located in Josefov, the former Jewish district. There are over 12,000 gravestones and more than 100,000 people are buried here.

Prague’s main boulevard and a regular parade ground for numerous organisations and political parties, including the November 1989 protest meetings, which led to the Velvet Revolution and the end of communist rule in Czechoslovakia.  

The largest medieval castle complex in Europe and one of the most impressive collections of buildings in the city. Today, it is the seat of the President of the Czech Republic, serving as the historical and political centre of both city and state.

Karlstejn Castle is an awe-inspiring 14th century fortress to rival any in Central Europe. A visit to this huge Gothic castle is one of our most popular tours outside Prague.

Former Nazi concentration camp of Theresienstadt. This preserved 18th century fortress and garrison town became both a feeder camp for Auschwitz and a model camp where inspections by the International Red Cross took place.
