Former cultural centre of Europe, capital of the Czech Republic and one of the most stunning cities of Europe, Prague has rightfully gained its name and fame as “the city of one hundred towers” or “the city of one hundred bridges”.
A centuries old city, Prague mingles past and present altogether, blending in the intoxicating flavour of history with the multiplicity of intricate architectural styles and designs (Baroque, Rococo and Art Nouveau) of the clustering of museums, art galleries, and monuments.
Without a doubt, Prague seems to be the vanguard of everything that stands for cultural life and diversity: it was Prague that was home of such famous composers as Mozart, Weber, and Dvorak or such writers as Kafka and Capek, it was Prague again that sang its own praises about the Cubist movement, and last, but not least, Prague is a genuine launching ramp for athletes and models, writers and artists, or for film directors alike. Unmistakably, Prague does exert a profound influence on European culture.
