Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic is situated in the heart of Europe and is the political, economic and cultural centre of the country.

Even in the past, Prague was famous for its beauty and wealth - it was called "golden", "hundred-spired", "city of music" or "the heart of Europe". Prague is a city with more than one thousand years' history, which began by the construction of Prague Castle in the late 9th century. In the 10th century, Vyšehrad Castle - the second Prague castle and the temporary seat of Bohemian princes - was built on the opposite Vltava bank. It was here, where according to the ancient legend, Bohemian Princess Libuše prophesied the future glory of Prague: " ... I see a great city, whose glory touches the stars..." She was right. Charles IV, King of Bohemia and Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire chose Prague as the capital of the Empire. At that time, Prague enjoyed its biggest efflorescence. For the second time, Prague became the European centre of education and culture in the period of the rule of Rudolph II. The appearance of the city was markedly influenced by the Baroque period, but other epochs left precious documents of building skill and art of all other architectural styles behind them as well. Visitors from around the world are attracted by unique symbiosis of preserved monuments of all architectural styles: Romanesque rotundas, Gothic and Baroque churches, Renaissance palaces and gardens, Art Nouveau, Cubist and Modern buildings.

Prague is one of the largest urban conservation areas in the world. Since 1992, the historic Prague centre extending over an area of 866 hectares has been included in the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage.

Architectural treasures in the historic centre of Prague are not only the stone witnesses of the past. Prague lives a dynamic modern city life. Important congresses, cultural, social and political events of international importance take place here. In terms of tourism, Prague is one of the most visited European cities.
