Prague, Czech Republic

For centuries it has been known as Zlatá Praha or Golden Prague – a glittering jewel of art and architecture nestling snugly at the heart of Europe. Home to emperors and kings, artists and astronomers, this beautiful and fascinating city has worked its subtle magic on generations of visitors, and lent inspiration to musicians and writers from Mozart to Dvorák and Kafka to Klíma.
