Prague, also known as "the Golden City" or "the City of a Hundred Spires" is the capital and largest city in the Czech Republic. Set romantically on the banks of the Vltava River in the center of Bohemia, Prague is home to about 1.27 million people with an additional estimated 300,000 commuters. Due to Prague’s multifold architectural palette - from ultra modern to Gothic, from Renaissance to Art Nouveau, Baroque, Cubist and Neoclassical - this city has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe since the fall of the iron curtain. Prague Castle, the largest ancient castle in the world, is just one of many sights in this fascinating city. Fortunately, Prague’s original architectural structures were not greatly damaged in World War II; the entire historic center of the city has been well preserved and listed as a World Heritage Site since 1992. Prague is a truly splendid city with a fascinating history and it is well worth a visit - not just for the architecturally inclined.
