Crossing Cultures

The following activities are often available in Prague, offering opportunities for students to participate in and learn about Czech culture:
Stroll the famous Charles Bridge, lined with Baroque statues, artists, vendors, musicians and photographers. This bridge, situated over the Vltava River, will provide you with beautiful views of the city and its shorelines, in addition to a great location for simply sitting back and watching the passersby.
On a guided tour, explore the sights, sounds, and tastes of different neighborhoods in Prague. Each zone has a unique personality and you are sure to discover your favorite.
Prague offers many chances to explore the arts. The prestigious Rudolfinum Concert Hall (pictured) and the State Opera House of Prague offer the chance to attend different musical events. Also, as you wander the streets you will notice the well preserved and diverse architectural features and designs that adorn the building facades.
Build upon your Czech language skills as you participate in language tutorials. The language tutorials are led by your resident staff members and local students of Prague, and usually take place in a popular social setting.
Prague, and the Czech Republic in general, have had quite a history in film making. Go to a movie, explore past movie street scenes, attend a local film fesitival, and tour the century-old Barrandov film studio, still in operation today. Watching movies in Czech can be a great way for you to work on your language skills, meet locals and also learn about Czech culture through the movies.
