Welcome to Prague

Prague, the capital city of the Czech Republic, is a treasure trove of history and culture, renowned for its picturesque beauty and architectural marvels. Known as the 'city of a hundred spires', Prague's skyline is dotted with historic church spires, which stand tall above the city's cobblestoned streets and beautiful bridges like the iconic Charles Bridge. This bridge is a must-see, featuring stunning views of the Vltava River and adorned with an array of statues that add to its historic ambiance.

The city thrives with a vibrant arts scene, showcasing a range of performances from classical concerts in grand palaces to modern shows at the State Opera or National Theatre. Visitors are encouraged to experience the richness of Prague's cultural offerings which reflect the city's historical journey through the centuries.

Walking through Prague is like stepping back in time, with its well-preserved castles, Baroque and Gothic cathedrals, and medieval squares that tell stories of its past. Yet, the city is not caught in time; it is dynamic, with transformed run-down areas now hosting fine restaurants, stylish hotels, and lively bars and clubs, ensuring that visitors can enjoy both the historical and contemporary sides of Prague.

When exploring, it’s recommended to wear comfortable shoes suitable for walking on cobblestones and to dress in layers to navigate the city's mid-continental climate, which can range from warm summers to chilly winters.

Overall, the essence of Prague lies in its ability to merge its illustrious past with the vibrant pulse of a modern European city. Whether it's the architectural wonders, the rich history, or the buzzing nightlife, Prague offers an experience that is both deeply rooted in tradition and excitingly contemporary.

<p>Modern architecture and locomotives at Prague's main station. České dráhy 384, the first Vectron with the highspeed of 230 km/h, meets its slower sister locomotives. The different liveries suit the Czech locomotives very well.</p>

<p>A miner from Kutná Hora and an angel, located inside the St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague, Czech Republic.<br />
- The sculpture is part of the decoration of the Royal Oratory, which was built in a late Gothic style by architect Benedikt Ried (also known as Benedikt Rejt). It depicts a parishioner or miner in traditional period clothing, holding a candlestick or lantern. These figures were meant to represent the various social classes and professions that contributed to the cathedral's history and the prosperity of the region, specifically referencing the importance of silver mining in Kutná Hora. The angel is made out of silver.<br />
- The cathedral itself is the largest and most significant church in the Czech Republic, situated within the Prague Castle complex. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Prague and serves as the burial place for several Bohemian kings and Holy Roman Emperors.</p>
