Music & Concert Tour To Prague

The Defenestration of Prague took place at this huge and ancient castle, an event that sparked the Thirty Years’ War, drawing many of the states of Europe into conflict and playing an important role in modern understandings of statehood. After touring the castle, students can reflect on the roots and possible causes of the conflict.

Take to the River Vltava for a most relaxing way to take in the sights of Prague. Choose from a traditional steamer or cruise boat for a view of the city from the water. The English translation brings the sights to life such as National Theatre, Prague Castle and Charles Bridge.

This magnificent 14th century stone bridge is the main pedestrian route connecting the Old Town with the Lesser Town and Prague Castle. During the day you can join the crowds watching the street performers and enjoy fairy-tale views of the city skyline. Early morning and evening are good times to come for a relaxing stroll and admire the bridge’s 75 statues.

An organised evening out provides a great chance to eat, dance and be merry. Student groups can try the local food whilst watching a traditional Czech dance and listening to typical live music.

This museum houses a rich collection encompassing its Music Notation Archive and Recordings Library, manuscripts, iconography, materials from personal estates, musical instruments and items from the two great Czech composers, Smetana and Dvorak. It is set in the renovated church of St Mary Magdalene that blends baroque architecture with contemporary design

Prague has three beautiful opera houses where you can see unforgettable performances. The Estates Theatre dates back to 1783, and its programme is weighted towards Mozart productions – he conducted his premiere of Don Giovanni here. The Prague State Opera, built in 1888, and the neo-Renaissance National Theatre both present fine, varied opera programmes.

Black light theatre makes use of a UV light on fluorescent costumes and objects on a dark stage to create intricate visual illusions. The technique, paired with the expressive artistry of dance, mime and acrobatics creates remarkable spectacles. Your group can see a performance by WOW, the youngest and biggest of Prague’s nine black light theatres.

A visit to the Sedlec Ossuary is a macabre yet peaceful experience. This Gothic medieval chapel is decorated inside with the bones of more than 40,000 humans. There’s a huge bone chandelier and bone coat of arms. The chapel ossuary had such a lot of human remains as its grounds were consecrated with soil from Jerusalem, so many people wanted to be buried there.

Western Bohemia’s famous spa town, Karlovy Vary, is a favourite of wealthy Russians. The best way to enjoy views of its decorative 19th-century houses, and the rivers and valleys beyond is to take a funicular ride to Diana Lookout Tower. It’s in a pretty forested spot where you can enjoy lunch and watch the peacocks. You can walk back to town along woodland trails.
