If you only knew

that in the Czech Republic even the buildings dance, you could already be caught up in their rhythm.

There is a reason why Prague is often called a text book of architecture. A thousand years of history has given the city priceless monuments in styles ranging from the Romanesque to the ultramodern. You will find them on virtually every corner. As you wander through the atmospheric lanes of Prague’s historical centre, across the Charles Bridge and up to the ancient seat of power at Prague Castle, each house, each building along the way will share its story with you – tales about Kafka, Mozart, Faust, or the legendary dance duo of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. And because Prague is also a pulsing metropolis with a thriving urban nightlife, you can live out your own Prague story to a contemporary beat.
