In the very heart of Europe lies Prague, capital of the Czech Republic, deservedly considered by its charmed visitors to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Prague is the capital of a tiny country, which sometimes gets lost on the map of a huge and slightly confused world, frankly, not every inhabitant of planet Earth can tel I where the Czech Republic actually lies. Then visitors get a surprise when they see it for the first time - and they love to return.
Prague has a lot to offer. Above all it is an outstanding collection of sights of historical interest, an amazing textbook of architecture, a display of all arch itectural styles. After all, Prague has always attracted the most prominent artists of their time. Thus we can walk through the city and admire Romanesque buildings as well as wonder at modem creations such as the Dancing House (Tančící dům). We find such treasures as Cubist houses, which actually represent a style reserved primarily for fine art. We can find rnonurnents. both religious and secular, and remarkable sights of technical character.
Prague nature deserves admiration as well. The city is divided by the River Vltava, which has inspired many artists, and which waters the greenery of game preserves and parks. Within the boundaries of the city we can also find retreats; wild, rocky valleys and deep ravines, quite unexpected in busy urban areas.
It is a little difficult to chaose frorn the plentiful and varied offer, especially if we are lirnited by time. Therefore we have attempted to chaose the most valuable of Prague's gems. sights and interesting natural areas; in short the best features of all, and introduce them by means of both words and photographs.

If you set aut with us, you will get to know the most significant sights, and can decide for yourself to what extent are true the words about one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
