About Prague

Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic, defined by its remarkably preserved medieval core that survived the destruction of the 20th century. The city skyline is dominated by the sprawling Prague Castle and the soaring spires of St. Vitus Cathedral. Visitors navigate a dense urban fabric where historic landmarks like the Charles Bridge coexist with modern architectural statements like the Dancing House. The city serves as a central hub for Central European history, offering a blend of Gothic, Baroque, and functionalist architecture.
