Prague - Czech Republic - UNESCO World Heritage Sites

Prague has been a political, cultural and economic centre of Europe and particularly central Europe during its 1,100 year existence. For centuries, during the Gothic and Renaissance eras, Prague was the permanent seat of two Holy Roman Emperors and thus was also the capital of the Holy Roman Empire. Later it was an important city in the Habsburg Monarchy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and after World War I became capital of Czechoslovakia. The city played major roles in the Protestant Reformation, the Thirty Years' War, and in 20th-century history, during both World Wars and the post-war Communist era.

Prague is home to a number of famous cultural attractions, many of which survived the violence and destruction of twentieth century Europe. Main attractions include the following: Prague Castle, the Charles Bridge, Old Town Square, the Jewish Quarter, the Lennon Wall, and Petřín hill. Since 1992, the extensive historic centre of Prague has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.

Prague boasts more than ten major museums, along with countless theatres, galleries, cinemas, and other historical exhibits. Also, Prague is home to a wide range of public and private schools, including the famous Charles University. Its rich history makes it a popular tourist destination, and the city receives more than 4.1 million international visitors annually, as of 2009. Prague is classified as a global city.

A modern public transportation system connects the city. Prague is also accessible by road, train, and air. ( source Wikipedia )

@MsGera1994 Czech republic is located in the middle Europe

[HowkeyLL]

THe problem is that we never belonged to east, Czech republic was always middle European country that was very advanced. Only in second half of 20th century it was occupied by east. So the Czech people are very angry when you call them Eastern. Thats why this country is preserved, because the czechs cared about it, not like eastern countries.

From geographic point its central but since Europe was counted as west or east its rather east. But it brings out bad memories. Thats why you will be better when visiting to say Here in central europe :))))
