The Czech Republic –
fascinating history and cutting-edge style
Prague, the vibrant Czech capital, can be seen as a microcosm for the entire country. It boasts an enthralling mix of Gothic, Baroque, Art Nouveau and Cubist architecture, as well as numerous artistic and cultural treasures. Home to emperors and kings, artists and astronomers, it has worked its subtle magic on generations of visitors, and lent inspiration to musicians and writers, from Mozart to Dvořák and from Kafka to Klíma.
Over the centuries, it has been called many names, including ‘Golden Prague’, ‘the Mother of Cities’, ‘the City of Hundred Spires’, ‘the Magic City’, ‘the Heart of Europe’, and even ‘the Rome of the North’.
