Czech Republic - Playing with Light - Tram Passing through Old Town in Prague/Praha

    An epic history has made Prague one of the most beautiful cities in the world, as well as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The magical city of bridges, cathedrals, gold-tipped towers and church domes, Prague is also a modern European metropolis full of energy, music, and art. Serene green isles in the river and peaceful parks draping the city's seven hills are just steps away from the architectural treasures and bustling street life of the city center. Prague's atmosphere is both intimate and romantic, and quite impossible to forget.

    Ancient capital of Charles IV's Bohemian Kingdom, Prague has played a pivotal role in the development of Central Europe since the Middle Ages. During a walk through the city, you will quickly discover that the history of European architecture has left behind splendid representatives of its various periods and styles. There are Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Classicist buildings, as well as various neo-historic styles and Art Nouveau. Mozart reportedly shocked the Viennese when he once scoffed at his Austrian patrons, claiming, "Praguers understand me." This statement placed Prague in the center of the musical world and entrenched the city in musical folklore.
