A metropolis of more than a million inhabitants located in the very heart of Europe has everything that befits a capital city. It has a strategic location on the Vltava River, a historic core listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, architectural gems in every style imaginable, a place where history was rewritten, and is the birthplace of many important personalities and the seat of world-class institutions. Not to be forgotten are the rich cultural and sporting activities and the tireless nightlife. It most likely got its name from the word threshold, in this situation more like a water threshold or ford, namely the one that was located somewhere under today's Charles Bridge.

But Prague is not just a castle and a bridge
The vast complex of Prague Castle and the historical jewel connecting the Old Town with the Lesser Town are undoubtedly among the landmarks of the metropolis, but Prague hides much more. Whether it is the Rudolfinum, a symbol of refinement, the floorboards of the National Theatre, which signify at least the Czech cultural world, the National Museum, where history comes to life in many cases with exaggeration, or countless sacred buildings that exude a spiritual spirit. Hand in hand with the architectural references of ancient times goes contemporary modern art, represented by the unique and for some perhaps controversial works of David Černý such as the massive Babies or the fountain with peeing figures, as well as the artists' brick canvas Lennon Wall or the Prague Metronome offering breathtaking views. The metropolis is also rightly ranked among the most beautiful cities in Europe. It is no coincidence, then, that it has been, and continues to be, an immortal inspiration to artists across the board.
