Personal recommendation
Prague is a wonderful city, it is worth going. From an academic point of you, the University of Economics of Prague offers not a lot of courses for foreign students that are the same level than at my home university in St. Gallen. But the courses gave me some insight into the Czech transformation process, EU enlargement etc. which you can not get anywhere else but in the specific country.

Czech is a nice but difficult language. After one semester studying it one feels at ease in every day life, but forget about a conversation.
