The capital of the Czech Republic, Prague is the seat of the Czech parliament and government and also an important economic and cultural center. It is considered to be one of Europe’s most beautiful capitals, with beautiful hill-top views overlooking the colorful and vibrant city below. It is also among the oldest, home to such historic sites as Prague Castle and the Charles Bridge. Prague is home to a number of famous cultural attractions, many of which survived the violence and destruction of twentieth century Europe. Several architectural styles grace the city, including Roman, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Art Noveau, as well as 20th-century. Prague boasts more than ten major museums, along with countless theatres, galleries, cinemas, and other historical exhibits. With all these great attractions, Prague has become a more popular tourist destination over the past few years due to growing interest and affordable travel options.
Prague has been and is home to many musicians, writers, and artists, including Kafka, Kundera, Mozart, Dvořák, and Smetana. The city offers you a wealth of cultural events and performances featuring both local and international talent. The many clubs and recital halls have a daily range of concerts, operas, and theater performances. And although Melbourne, Australia has the longest tram length in the world, Prague's tram network is the biggest by other measures: it runs more trams (900 against 500 in Melbourne), has more routes (33 against 28) and carries more passengers (356 million against 178 million). You’ll never have trouble with transportation and will always have something to do in Prague.
