" I had the absolute best time of my life in Prague this summer! I kept a travel blog with lot of great pictures and journal entries about my experience there. I am so overjoyed and thankful to the Buffett Center for convincing me to travel to Prague this summer! I can honestly say it changed my life and my view of the world and the wonderful cultures and people that encompass it. "
— Hannah Kopen
" Prague offered me the opportunity to not only take in breathtaking sights but to also assimilate into the culture. An up close and personal approach to living in the city provides an endless appreciation for the beauty and for the culture of the Czech Republic. Although the cobblestones wore down the soles of most of my shoes, the city itself more than made up for it. "
— Julia Brook
Situated on seven hills and divided by the river Vltava, Prague is one of the oldest and most architecturally diverse cities in Central Europe. For six centuries it has remained nearly untouched by natural disaster or war, leaving intact stunning examples of Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, and Art Nouveau architectural styles. Today, Prague's cobbled streets host communist-era cement block buildings alongside Baroque masterpieces. Communism has become another layer in the Czech past, sharing space in the nation's collective memory with its historical role as the keystone to Central Europe. This makes Prague the ideal location from which to explore the complex relationships and contradictions that comprise the history and culture of the region.
