Prague
Why Prague?
Often referred to as the “City of a Hundred Spires”, Prague boasts grand palaces and ornate baroque churches linked by winding medieval streets, all dominated by the magnificent castle overlooking the city. The city lends itself to many exciting adventures for your group including a buffet dinner cruise on the River Vltava, an authentic Czech folklore evening, a tour of Prague Castle or a visit to the impressive Krizik Fountain Show. A perennial favourite with groups is a day trip to the beautiful spa town of Karlovy Vary where you can enjoy the Mill and Spring Colonnades or take a trip on the cable car up to the Diana Viewing Tower.
Prague is beautiful all year round - however the deep white snows of the winter months offer a fairytale experience for your group. Wrap up warm and enjoy the Czech Republic in winter when you’ll definitely appreciate the hearty cuisine and natural beauty of the landscapes. And, with prices much lower than in summer, this is a perfect opportunity for groups working to a budget.
Where to Perform
St. Vitus' Cathedral at Prague Castle

Prague Old Town Square

What to Do
Staré Mesto
Prague’s Old Town, which spreads along the Vltava’s right bank, is a great introduction to the city. Visit the Old Town Square and see the Astronomical Clock and Tyn Church, complete with its world-famous towers.
Krizik Fountain Show
A music and light extravaganza held at the Prague Exhibition Grounds. This 40-minute show with hundreds of water jets, lights and a variety of music takes place several times each evening in the summer months.
Prague Castle
Enter Prague’s most famous landmark by the Matthias Gate, where you can witness the changing of the guard. Visit St. Vitus’ Cathedral, the largest church in Prague, and don’t miss the quaint Goldmakers’ Lane with its tiny coloured houses.
Charles Bridge
One of the most famous landmarks in Prague, filled with buskers and caricature artists.
Vltava River Cruise
One of our most popular excursions is to enjoy a buffet supper aboard a cruise on the River Vltava; a really relaxing way to take in the views after an enjoyable day of performing and sightseeing. The two hour cruise goes through a lock on the Vltava, and then down towards the Charles Bridge and Castle District, which is all beautifully illuminated at night.
Kutná Hora
This former silver-mining town, an hour’s journey east of Prague, was one of the wealthiest in the kingdom in medieval times and today remains one of the most picturesque. Visit the famous Ossuary, the medieval silver mine or the exceptionally beautiful Gothic cathedral of St. Barbara, with plenty of leisure time to explore the town.
