Prague

Duration: 4 days

Prague is a tried and tested destination for student travellers. With cheap beer, a buzzing atmosphere throughout the whole city, and more history than you could absorb in 10 visits, it’s got everything. Prague Castle and the famous Charles Bridge are essential for any visitor, where you can see the changing of the Guard, the St. Vitus Cathedral and relax at the top of Petrin Hill while taking in the city views. 

The Old Town square also provides some brilliant pictures and a wide range of food choices, where you can fill up before heading to any of Prague’s many famous bars and pubs. With the popular 5-floor Karlovy Lazne, or the wonderfully weird Cross Club, you’ll be sure to find a place you love – Prague is a city that caters for all!
