Almost completely ignored by western tourists before 1989 and the fall of communism, Prague has since thrived and is now one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. This is because Prague, which is the capital of the Czech Republic and the largest city in that country, has a wealth of attractions for visitors.
Founded in 200 BC by the Celts, Prague has an interesting history, and its cobbled streets, winding roads, and alleys are lined with architectural delights. However, Prague is not a city stuck in the past. The Czechs love good food and drink, and Prague has lots of pubs and cafes in which to enjoy an informal but delicious meal or a glass of the famous Czech beer. There are plenty of cultural events, both traditional and modern. In short, there is something for virtually everybody, from the backpacker to those seeking a five-star holiday, in Prague.
Prague offers a wonderful combination of the ancient and modern with a wealth of cultural and gastronomic attractions. Of course, there is also the legendary Czech beer! Why not explore some of our luxury holidays and start planning the perfect trip to Prague today?
