Local Information

Prague has been called the "Jewel in the Crown" of Central Europe, with some justification as it is widely recognized as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. In fact, the city is so acclaimed for its beauty that in 1992 all 866 hectares of Prague's historical city centre was listed in the UNESCO World Cultural & Natural Heritage Register.

Since the Velvet Revolution in which Czechoslovakia threw off the chains of Communism, tourism in Prague has boomed. Indeed, much of the reconstruction and development of the city has been funded by tourism. Prague, standing astride the banks of the River Vltava, offers something for even the most jaded visitor, from the historic Jewish Quarter to the booming clubbing scene.

But if you take the time to visit, go and see Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral tower, both of which offer spectacular views of the city landscape. This is Prague's number one tourist attraction. Visitors can also revel in Prague's wonderful architecture and music, including famous annual festivals such as Prague Spring and Prague Autumn.

But for those who wish to revel until the early hours, try out some of Prague's biggest clubs. Radost FX plays a selection of House, techno, drum'n'bass and breakbeats, with a highly varied crowd. Or, of you fancy a more international flavour try Karlovy Lazne. Generally speaking, foreigners outnumber locals, so you should have no difficulty finding someone who understands you (even if it is a stag party from Weston-Super-Mare!)

Many people will look for many different things in Prague, but the most amazing thing is that almost all of them will find what they are looking for. Whether you come to enjoy the ambience of one of Europe's most beautiful and cultured cities, or to experience the international dynamism of the night life, Prague is a truly Bohemian capital that will show you a good time.
