Study Abroad The city of Prague, magical and haunting, medieval yet modern, provides unparalleled opportunities to supplement classroom study with its museums, galleries, castles, and churches. Located on the river Vltava, Prague is a remarkably preserved city, and its thousand years of architectural and artistic history are reflected in its stone facades and cobblestone streets. Standing in the middle of the Charles Bridge above the rippling reflections of turrets and domes and seeing the spires, steeples, and the great Prague Castle rising above the city, you sense at once the spirit of this remarkable site. Walk across the bridge, and you discover the legacy of three of the cultures of Europe Czech, German, and Jewish. Although an international city, Prague maintains the feeling of a village.
