 Prague: The magical city of bridges, cathedrals, gold-tipped towers and church domes, whose image has been mirrored in the surface of the Vltava river for more than ten centuries. Prague is also a modern European metropolis full of energy, music, and art.  It's a city of contrasts: Serene green isles in the river and peaceful parks draping the city's seven hills are just steps away from the architectural treasures and bustling street life of the city center.

 It's a place where different architectural styles stand cheek by jowl, creating an atmosphere that's both intimate and romantic, and quite impossible to forget once you visit.

      Historic Prague   Prague’s first inhabitants arrived during the early Stone Age. The hills over the Vltava were first settled by members of an unknown tribe. Their descendants gradually settled the entire area around the Vltava meander, whose shape – that of the letter P – now seems to symbolize the place’s future name.          Fun in Prague   Contemporary Prague is among the fastest-developing and most dynamic regions in all of Europe. Over the past ten years, the city has transformed itself from a dreary East Bloc capital to a modern European metropolis.         Architecture, Arts and Music   The 1.3 million-strong capital is among the most visited cities in central Europe and, understandably, the most popular Czech destination. Prague is a living textbook of different architectural styles, where Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque structures stand side by side with examples of Art Nouveau, Cubist, and functionalist architecture.
