Overview:
Prague is the capital city of the relatively small Czech
Republic which lies in the heart of Europe, bordering Germany,
Austria, Slovakia and Poland.
Prague (Praha) has become one of the most popular tourist
destinations in Europe. No other European capital contains six
hundred years of architecture so completely untouched by natural
disaster or war. Prague's rich collection of Gothic, baroque,
and Renaissance buildings has emerged unscathed from centuries
of strife.
Prague has been called 'the Rome of the North'. Rome was
built on seven hills, and Prague was built on nine hills: Letna,
Vitkov, Opys, Vetrov, Skalka, Emauzy, Vysehrad, Karlov and the
highest of all, Petrin. The mountains, forests and lakes
surrounding Prague are enchanting and ideal for outdoor holidays
as well as winter sports.
