School Details - Prague Old Town
The school is situated in Prague’s Old Town, making it an ideal location to enjoy the winding, cobblestone roads, beautiful architecture and backstreet pubs. The training centre contains a variety of resources such as a telephone for making local calls, computers for lesson planning and writing of cvs, some internet access, a photocopier, and a comprehensive resource library.
Prague
Prague is for many a place of weekend escapes, magnificent medieval architecture, traditional folklore and remarkably cheap beer. With it's stunning location straddling the Vltava River and set in rolling Bohemian countryside, the city is beauty, mysticism and romance all rolled into one. As capital of the Czech Republic it is also oozing with history and brimming with future promise, as communist rule becomes slowly forgotten and young Czechs go about their increasingly bustling city life. You can still get lost in a maze of courtyards and cobbled alleys, and you can still explore an endless number of churches and cathedrals, but behind those old stone walls you'll also hear the clink of glasses, laughter over a post-work drink, and haunting melodies floating from some front-room piano. Reason enough to spend more than a weekend here, and find out what it's really all about.
