Highlights
General information
One of the most beautiful and visited cities of Europe, this capital of 1.2 million has an incredible mix of Gothic, Romanesque, Baroque and Art Nouveau architecture. The Vltava River winds through this “city of a hundred spires,” its riverbanks and the surrounding hills contrasting with the winding cobblestone streets of the old city centre.
Prague is lively and sophisticated, drawing on its centuries-old tradition of breakthrough thinking in literature, music, architecture and engineering.
