Capital of the Czech Republic, the Bohemian city of Prague (Praha) is the geographical heart of Europe and one of the most beautiful cities in the world. 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 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.
Prague made up of six independent districts, which were unified in the 18th century: Staré Mesto (Old Town), Josefov (Jewish Quarter), Nové Mesto (New Town), Malá Strana (Lesser Quarter), Hradcany (Castle District) and Vysehrad (High Castle). Prague Castle and Old Town Square are at the top of almost every visitor's attractions list.
