Description:

This travel course will provide us with an opportunity to explore and learn in Prague, an amazingly beautiful city in Bohemia, the Czech Republic, that has become a popular destination for young people. Story-book architecture, cobblestone streets, and a dazzling town square compete for attention with beautiful baroque churches, hearty Czech food, and some of the most famous beer in the world. Since the collapse of the Communist government, the Czech people have basked in freedom and now welcome visitors from around the world to a city of rich history and rare beauty. The course will introduce students to centuries of Prague history and architecture, magnificent art, and thrilling music from composers such as Smetana and Dvorak, whose music is regularly played in one-hour concerts that are a daily highlight. We will walk the history of the city, visit its great churches and art museums, talk to the people, immerse ourselves in Czech culture, and hear their remarkable music. In doing so, we will find out why Mozart loved Prague, and why more than 20,000 Americans have chosen to live there
