Prague

Prague is a major European city located on both banks of the Vltava River, characterized by its medieval center, numerous bridges, colorful rooftops, and gothic spires visible throughout the urban landscape.

Founded around the ninth century, Prague became the capital of the Kingdom of Bohemia and later served as the seat of the Holy Roman Empire under Charles IV during the fourteenth century.

The city hosts numerous museums, theaters, and concert halls including the Czech Philharmonic at Rudolfinum, alongside annual festivals celebrating music, literature, and performing arts across various historic venues.

Prague functions as the political and economic center of the Czech Republic, housing national government institutions, international businesses, research centers, and several universities including the historic Charles University.

The city is known for its astronomical clock on the Old Town Square, which has been operating since the fifteenth century and displays astronomical dials with moving figures.
