About Prague
General information
Prague, located in the heart of Europe, brings you to a journey through the City of a Hundred Spires situated on the Vltava River and where there is never an "off-season". The city today is a dynamic business and cultural centre with modern elements that comfortably blend with the historic. Finished in the early 15th Century, the Charles Bridge, one of the city's best-known landmarks, serves as a vital connection between the Prague Castle and Lesser Quarter - including the city's Old Town and adjacent areas. Today, Prague still enacts as a bridge between eastern and western European trade routes with various opportunities both for locals and international visitors from all over the world.
