  • PRAGUE INFO

    Prague (Praha in Czech) is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic. Situated on the Vltava river, it is home to approximately 1.2 million inhabitants. (It can be derived from jobs statistics, however, that additional 300,000 work there without having registered as residents.) Nicknames for Prague have included "city of a hundred spires", "the golden city", "the Paris of the Twenties in the Nineties", the "mother of all cities", and "the heart of Europe". Since 1992, the historic centre of Prague has been included in the UNESCO list of world heritage sites. Prague is a popular tourist destination. There are lots of old buildings, many with beautiful murals on them. It contains one of the world's most pristine and varied collections of architecture, from Art Nouveau to Baroque, Cubist, Gothic, Neo-Classical and ultra-modern.

     

    Entrance fees to the Prague historical places of interest, museums and galleries are usually between 50 to 120CZK, some of the private museums are more expensive. The admission fee charged at some of the largest and most significant historical sites such as the Prague Castle (350CZK) and the Jewish Museum (300CZK) appears to be rather high. However the ticket is valid for visits to several places and it makes it very cheap. All the fees can be reduced because of the system discounts etc and cards. Some of the places allow free admission on one of the days in a month.

     

    Architecture styles in Prague

    The Romanesque (Rotundas of St. Martin at Vysehrad, Basilica of St. George at Prague Castle), the Gothic when new part of Prague (New Town) was found (Tyn Church at Old Town Square, St. Vitus Cathedral at Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, Mailes Synagogue), the Renaissance (Belvedere - The Royal Summer Palace of Queen Anne, Prague Castle, Pinkas Synagogue), the Baroque (St. Nikolas Church at Lesser Town, Prague Castle gardens, Troja Castle, Nerudova street), the Art Nouvea (Prague exhibition centre, Petrin Lookout Tower – small copy of Eiffel, Parizska street).

     

    What else to see

    Czech Republic is surrounded by mountains along its borders with Germany, Poland and Austria. Small spa (Karlovy Vary) and ski resorts are popular holiday destinations. There are cultural regions, with various types of folk architecture, dialects and traditional handicrafts, many nature reserves, grown with diverse flora and inhabited by rare animals. Rich medieval history has left hundreds of fairytale chateaux and castles (Karlstejn) scattered across the whole country.
