PRAGUE
is like a history lesson come true. As you walk among the long stone
palaces or across the 'Charles Bridge', with Smetana's Vltava flowing below
and pointed towers all around, you will feel as if history had stopped
somewhere back in the 18th century.
Goethe called Prague the 'prettiest gem in the stone crown of the world'.
This cultural center of Europe is famous for its architectural treasures
that have been so well preserved. Its wealth can be gathered from the
diversity and quantity of the many Romanesque monuments and its Gothic town
planning. In time new styles developed, like Baroque and later on Art
Nouveau. The countenance of Prague reflects every cultural period and all
the different artistic styles.
Musical life is a deeply rooted tradition in Prague. One only needs to
remember the names of the two greatest Czech composers, Antonin Dvorak and
Bedrich Smetana. Their music can still be heard.
It is said that it is an advantage to be a foreigner in Prague. The
renowned Slavonic hospitality manifests itself in Prague at every step.
A lot of traditional Czech products are offered, like crystal, porcelain,
earthenware, but also CDs, and illustrated art books. The national
beverages like beer and sliwowitz are worth a try and restaurants offer a
wide variety of food.
Prague is ready to welcome its visitors and let you share in the experience
of 'awakening to a beautiful dream'.
