Prague: a city-break favorite
Prague has a unique and special atmosphere that captivates visitors and connects the city’s residents closely to their home. This is one of the reasons Prague ranks among the most popular city-break destinations. It is a favorite among the cities travelers choose to visit—and for many reasons.
Prague lies in the very heart of Europe and is not only the capital of the Czech Republic, but also an important center for the country’s economic, political, cultural, and artistic affairs—not to mention football: Prague is home to several top-flight clubs and historic teams.

With its many motorways and expressways, airport, and inland port, Prague is a major European transport hub—a great advantage for tourists who want to get to know the city better on a city break. For many decades, Prague has also been one of the film industry’s most popular international locations, and it remains a favorite filming destination to this day. Classics such as “Pan Tau” and “Luzie, the Terror of the Street” were made here.
Prague is also home to Central Europe’s oldest university, Charles University, founded in 1348. Prague is one of Central Europe’s oldest and most beautiful cities, with the reputation and standing of a European metropolis. “Every city-break visitor finds something in Prague that will make them remember the city forever,” says André Szysnik. The professional photographer from Cologne fell in love with the “Golden City” on his first visit: “It was love at first sight when I first arrived in Prague by car in 1978,” says Szysnik. He plans to publish a photo book soon, showcasing the beauty of his favorite city.
