About Prague

Prague is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic, set on the Vltava River in the heart of Bohemia. It is known as the City of a Hundred Spires, a nickname that reflects its many Gothic, Baroque, and Renaissance churches and towers. The city's well-preserved medieval core is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with landmarks such as Charles Bridge, Prague Castle, and the Old Town Square. As a major tourist destination and cultural center of Central Europe, Prague draws visitors with its concert halls, museums, galleries, and historic cafes. Its cobbled streets, romantic riverside views, and lively traditions make it one of the most memorable capitals on the continent. Its Old Town Square, Astronomical Clock, and Charles Bridge draw visitors from around the world, while Prague Castle, often cited as the largest ancient castle complex in the world, crowns the hill above the river.
