Prague

The delightful city of Prague bore witness to the impact of successive regimes during the twentieth century as ?rst National Socialism and then Communism was imposed on the people of the Czech capital. Despite this Prague has retained its charm and is rightly one of Europe’s most popular destinations.

For GCSE and A Level students a visit to Prague offers the opportunity to understand the impact of occupation and oppressive regimes, along with a unique mixture of cultural experiences.
