A city in the heart of Europe

Prague

 

One of the most beautiful cities in the world and at the same time the Czech metropolis with approximately 1.2 million inhabitants. The history of permanent settlement in the territory of today's Prague is very rich, people have lived here for seven millennia. However, Prague gained great importance only during the time when the Přemysl princely and later royal dynasty ruled here. The flourishing medieval city, which benefited mainly from the huge turnover of its merchants, became our metropolis in the twelfth century. Thanks to the care of Karl IV. and the founding of the New City of Prague, Prague could compete with Florence or Paris at one time, and not only in terms of population.

 

Prague twice became the seat of the Roman Emperor (Charles IV and Rudolph II) and later, in 1918, became the center of the modern Czechoslovak state (since 1993 only the Czech state). A city literally overflowing with culture, sights, but also places where you can relax beautifully.
