ABOUT PRAGUE

Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, is our most valuable historical city reserve. In 1992 the city was listed in the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage Register.

Prague represents a unique collection of historical monuments dominated by the Prague Castle which towers high above the city. It is a display of all artistic styles and movements. Prague also became an important university centre which gave the world a number of personalities without whose discoveries and inventions we could hardly imagine our life today.The historical core of the city is situated on both banks of the Vltava River and consists of 6 parts – formerly independent urban units unified in the 18th century. They are as follows: Stare Mesto (Old Town), Josefov (the preserved part of the former Jewish Town – today a part of the Old Town), Nove Mesto (New Town), Mala Strana (Lesser Town), Hradcany and Vysehrad. Naturally, most of the historical monuments, museums and galleries are concentrated right there.

The capital Prague is without question the most attractive tourist destination in the Czech Republic. The city of a hundred spires on the River Vltava is known to people from practically the whole world and is regularly voted among the ten most beautiful cities in Europe. Those who want to get to know the Czech Republic more thoroughly, however, set out on a journey through the other beauties of the country, where an expedition into history, a ramble through nature, a challenge on the golf course or relaxation in a spa awaits. Quite simply, experiences that won’t be forgotten…
