Prague Region the capital of the Czech Republic, is known as the "Jewel in the
Crown" of Central Europe. In 1992 the historical core of the city covering 866 hectares was
listed in the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage Register.
Prague is one of the most beautiful and breathtaking cities in
Europe, and has luckily survived the world wars without too much damage. Prague is now a major centre for tourism.
In beautiful Prague, cobblestone streets form a maze of cosy restaurants,
shops, galleries, and bars. Medieval towers and hundreds of church spires create
a timeless feeling. Architecture throughout the town is Gothic, Baroque, Art
Nouveau and Cubist, and many buildings have newly restored facades with frescoes
and sculptures. Prague has excellent conference facilities, hotels with the
latest business services and an economy that makes doing business here
advantageous.
Prague is one of the nine cities awarded by the European Community the title of
European City of Culture for the year 2000.
Praha or Prague is at the same time the
best-preserved city of the country with this special atmosphere of living
history. It is also the cultural centre of the country with plentiful theatres,
opera halls, music clubs, casinos, galleries and museums. There are always new
performances, events or exhibitions. And if you came here without a wish to
spend your holidays indoors, there are just as much to see walking the street of
a beautiful city on the seven hills, split up by the Vltava River, with 16
bridges connecting it. Originally Prague consisted of five independent towns,
today represented by Castle District, Lesser Quarter, Old Town, Jewish Quarter
with each of them boasting numerous magnificent monuments that make a walk there
an unforgettable journey through centuries.

The best time to see Prague is in the spring or fall because you'll avoid the
worst of the tourist crunch and will probably experience warm and sunny weather.
Summer temperatures range 55-70 F/12-22 C, so wearing light layers of clothing
may be your best strategy. And while Prague is beautiful when it's covered in
snow, the winters are dreary not only because temperatures hover around 23 F/-5
C, but also because oppressive smog settles over the city.
