Welcome to Prague.

Prague is a feast for the eyes and the soul. Widely regarded as the most beautiful city in the world, it's inexpensive but exquisite, cozy but cosmopolitan, unpretentious but elegant and oh so much fun. A castle on a hill, a statue-studded river, an interwoven mosaic of 1,000 years of architecture. Insulated during communism, Prague has attracted droves of foreigners since the so called "Velvet Revolution" in 1989. This “city of 100 spires” in the heart of Europe burgeons with opportunity; almost anything is possible in its emerging market and transforming society.
