School Trips to the Czech Republic
School trips to Czech Republic (otherwise known as Czechia) offer students a tour of one of Europe’s most popular tourist destinations, due to its rich and diverse cultural history.
It’s this interesting past which makes the Czech Republic such a popular destination for school trips. Now a member of the European Union, the country’s immediate past is born out of 40 years’ worth of communist rule and the Velvet Revolution which culminated in 1993. These days, Czechia is a fully developed nation with strong exports and a very bright future. In fact, the development of the country’s business centres makes it a fascinating visit for Business Studies classes.
History and business students will find the Czech Republic mesmerizing, packed full of lots of educational opportunities that bring huge benefits. An example of the country’s rich past is its ancient tactically-important location, which gave rise to around 200 castles.
Comprised of beautiful architecture and imposing spires, Czechia is regarded as having the highest concentration of these wonderful structures in the world.
The capital city - Prague - is nicknamed ‘the city of a hundred spires’ and is renowned for its enchanting old town, supreme architecture, and appealing culture. Immediately, your students will be struck by the contrast of old meets new as they see how quickly a medieval district can merge into a modern metropolis.
Czech Republic school trips for art and music students
Yet, the Czech Republic doesn’t just appeal to history academics, those studying art or music are in for a treat as well.
The capital city of Prague is world-famous for classical music, so your students can make the most of the opportunities provided by a school trip to the Czech Republic. As the host nation of choice for many of Europe’s cultural events, Prague has a wealth of theatres, concert halls, and music venues for students to explore, enhancing their appreciation of Czech culture and the arts.
Consistently one of Europe’s most popular tourist destinations, the Czech Republic allows students to experience a country of contrasts. The lessons learnt from this fantastic nation will likely last a lifetime and should inspire your students to seek more from Europe.
