ABOUT PRAGUE
Heart of Europe, one of the most beautiful cities in the world and an architectural dream
on the Vltava river this is Prague, the capital of Czech Republic.

Thanks to its location in the centre of Europe, Prague has
always been an important crossroads of trade and culture.
In the course of its thousand-year history, Prague has always
been the political, cultural, and business centre of the country.
Golden Prague is a city of hundred spires, an UNESCO site,
a majestic and slightly mysterious city with a unique
atmosphere. Among the most visited sights are Prague Castle
(one of the biggest castles in the world), Charles Bridge, or
the Old Town Square with famous Astronomical Clock. You
can enjoy the atmosphere of the city from a boat on the Vltava
River, by walk through old streets and corners, relax in many
parks and last but not least taste the famous Czech beer!
