Prague – The Golden City
There can hardly be another town in the whole of central Europe that has been so often and so variously praised by the figures from all spheres of the arts. Rainer Maria Rilke described his birthplace, as “a vast and rich of epic of architecture”, and Goethe labelled it “the most beautiful jewel in the Bohemian crown”. The 19th-century Czech writer and journalist Jan Neruda, whose characteristically humorous literary depictions of Prague are still popular with readers today, claimed that “there is no other town to rival Prague in beauty”.
The city of 100 spires, “Golden Prague” a jewel in the heart of the new Europe. Culture, tradition and a lively atmosphere present themselves in beautifully restored cultural monuments and former aristocratic palaces. The awe-inspiring panorama of the castle and St. Vitus Cathedral capture the heart of every visitor, a walk across Charles Bridge is a must…
Although the narrow lanes of the Old Town and Lesser Town lend themselves to romantic walks, Prague also has its modern facets. Its Congress Centre hosted the annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund back in the year of 2000. Many of its hotels are a part of world-wide hotel chains (the total capacity in all types of accommodation facilities is 140 000 beds), and there is a wealth of luxury restaurants and shops, exhibition halls, galleries, theatres, museums and concert halls.
