 Why Prague?
After surviving two world wars and Soviet occupation, the city of Prague is a perfectly preserved medieval baroque city. Built up of a series of picturesque towns, each with its own character, the city is home to the Charles Bridge with its ornate statues and pedestrian walkway, narrow winding streets and the wine cellars and houses of the Old Town. The New Town features wide boulevards that draw shoppers to the central area, Wenceslas Square. The seat of Czech government, Prague hosts the national museums and the National theatre, art galleries, film houses, castles and cathedrals. Home to Kafka, Kundera, Mozart and Dvorak, the city has drawn artists, writers and musicians.
