Prague !

We call it ‘‘hundred-towered Prague‘‘.

• Prague is the Capital of the Czech Republic. It is situated in central Bohemia on the Vltava River. It has about 1.200.000 inhabitants. It is the centre of government, economics and culture.

Would you like to see this wonderful city, taste typical czech drinks and meet in a heart of Europe ?

Let‘s go with us ! :)A little taste of Prague is just about to start!

Prague Castle

The Prague castle is a residence of the Czech dukes since 9th century. In the time of Rudolf II the castle became a famous centre of science, arts and culture.Famous sights in Prague Castle include: St. Vitus Cathedral, the Royal Palace with the Vladislav Hall, the Spanish Hall.

Old Town Square

• There is the Astronomical Clock, called Orloj, which strikes every 60 minutes and we can see 12 Apostles. Orloj is very admired by tourists.

Charles Bridge

• Charles Bridge was built in 14th century by the famous Gothic architect Petr Parléř. It is the second oldest stone bridge in Central Europe. On both ends of the bridge there are Gothic Bridge Towers. In the 18th century the bridge was decorated by baroque statues. During the summer it is always full of tourists, souvenir stalls and street artists.

Wenceslas Square

• This is a centre of the city. It is about 750 m long. There is a statue of the Czech patron – St. Wenceslas and it is a symbol of the free and independent republic.

The National Theatre

• The National Theatre was built in the late Renaissance from the public money collection. It was damaged by fire in 1881 and was rebuilt within the next two years.
