Prague
Prague, Capital city in Central Bohemia, Czech Republic
Prague extends over 496 square kilometers along the Vltava River, with numerous bridges connecting both sides of the waterway through multiple neighborhoods.
The city experienced substantial growth during the 14th century under Charles IV, who established Charles University in 1348 and built the New Town district.
The National Theatre, State Opera, and multiple performance venues in Prague present regular productions of Czech and international music, theater, and dance.
The public transportation network includes three metro lines, tram routes, and bus services that connect all districts of Prague with the central areas.
The Prague astronomical clock from 1410 at the Old Town Hall measures time, displays zodiac signs, and shows the positions of celestial bodies.

This ranking includes the most populous cities in Europe in 2025, from Moscow with 11.62 million inhabitants to Budapest with 1.7 million. It features major European capitals like London, Berlin, Madrid, Rome, and Paris, as well as Saint Petersburg, Vienna, and Hamburg. These metropolitan areas are the continent's main demographic centers, each with its own history, architecture, and legacy. The selection is based on the municipal population of each city. Some cities surprise with their size, such as London, which covers an area fourteen times larger than Paris, or Rome, which extends over a territory twelve times greater than the French capital. Others are distinguished by their major economic roles, such as Hamburg, which hosts Germany's largest port, or by their internationally recognized quality of life, like Vienna. These destinations invite exploration of European urban diversity from east to west.
Prague features historical monuments from the Middle Ages to the 20th century. The medieval center includes the Old Town Square with its astronomical clock. The royal castle overlooks the city from its hill. Charles Bridge connects the two banks of the Vltava. Religious buildings, museums, and theaters illustrate Gothic, Baroque, and modern architecture.
Prague features several bars and restaurants located at height offering impressive city views. From the Cloud 9 Sky Bar and Lounge with its modern design to the CODA Restaurant with refined cuisine, these venues allow observing the colorful rooftops, gothic spires, and historic monuments of the Czech capital while enjoying cocktails and diverse dishes. The selection includes places with different specialties: authentic Italian cuisine at CottoCrudo and Marina Ristorante, Asian fusion options at Miru, or an extensive wine list at Cloud One Wine Bar and Lounge. Whether you're looking for an aperitif spot like the Balcony Bar, a fine dining experience, or a relaxed evening on the Střecha Radost terrace, these high-altitude establishments offer an original way to explore Prague from their terraces and outdoor spaces.
