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.

Ce monument en bronze, don de la communauté britannique, a été officiellement dévoilé en 2014 en présence de vétérans et avec l'accompagnement de la RAF. Il a ensuite été modifié et complété par les noms de tous les 2507 soldats qui ont servi dans la RAF. Le monument est un symbole de courage et un rappel d'une période importante de notre histoire.</p>

<p>•  Construite au XVIe siècle dans les arcades de l'ancienne fortification nord du château, elle abritait à l'origine les 24 gardes et arquebusiers de l'empereur.<br />
• Le nom : Elle doit son nom aux orfèvres qui s'y installèrent par la suite au XVIIe siècle (même si une légende populaire évoque des alchimistes cherchant à fabriquer de l'or).</p>
