Your Destination
Cobblestone streets, ancient bridges, and a hilltop castle help lend the City of a Hundred Spires its reputation as one of the world鈥檚 most beautiful. Prague is unique in Europe, having shed its鈥痗ommunist past and still brimming with carefully preserved monuments from every period and style in its millennial history. There鈥檚 plenty of quirky, too, like the 沤i啪kov鈥疶ower adorned with climbing babies, and the distinctly nontraditional Dancing House. Easy to explore on foot, the city boasts a rich cultural life that includes concerts, festivals, operas, and more 鈥 many of which you can access on a student budget.
爱游戏下载 Prague is located in the central neighborhood of Vy拧ehrad, in a beautiful park-like setting atop one of Prague鈥檚 highest hills about 15 minutes from the Old Town area.
爱游戏下载 wants all our students to feel welcomed, supported, and empowered to succeed while studying abroad. No matter where you choose to study abroad with 爱游戏下载, our staff will be on hand throughout your program to provide advice, resources, and support.
