Prague City Tourism provides education about Prague to both professionals and the general public. The company helps professional guides to develop their skills and expertise through highly specialised educational events and training courses. It is the authorised representative of the Ministry of Regional Development for examinations in professional qualifications to be a Prague Guide and Tourist Guide. For course students, it organises the “Prague Guide” and “Tourist Guide” professional qualification exams, as well as language exams to ascertain the required skills to conduct guide activities in a foreign language. Thanks to this, Prague City Tourism can offer visitors to Prague the very best guides in terms of both expertise and customer service. Walk around Prague and read it like a book. The Prague Lovers Program offers an extensive array of educational courses about Prague for Prague residents. Among these are the slow tourism walks titled Experience Prague, where those interested can explore the city’s atmosphere with licensed guides and get to know its popular but often neglected districts with local patriots. Bike rides or picnics are also available. National Heritage walks are organised several times a week, featuring interior tours and walks to see the beauty of historical Prague. The offer for Prague residents also includes an interesting program for the youngest visitors accompanied by their parents. The Prague University program is available for those interested in a more intense education about Prague. These are semester-long cycles that are open to the general public. They allow the people of Prague to get to know the corners of the city in an entertaining yet systematic, comprehensive way, delivered by the best Prague experts and in a circle of similarly inclined people. Regular training sessions, webinars and online courses are organised for employees in tourism, be they from hotels, incoming tourist organisations, travel agencies and tourist information centres.
