Prague - a town of art and music

This picture shows the Rudolfinum, a famous concert hall built in the year 1884. Every year the Prague Spring Festival is held here.

Mozart gained a great popularity in Prague during his life time, much greater than in Wienna. Mozart wanted to reward the people of Prague, and his opera "Don Giovanni" had its world premiere here, and can still be seen (and heard) in Prague.

To move around i Prague

The central parts of Prague can be reached by foot. And if not, there is an efficient metro, trams, old but clean buses, so moving around is not difficult.

Wine and Beer

A lot of wine is produced in the Czech republic, however, the country is more famous for its beer. In the picture above, a brewery and pub, that has been open for hundreds of years, is seen.

The Jewish town

The Jewish part of Prague is situated near the centre. In this picture the "Old-New Synagoge" is seen, the oldest still working synagoge in Central Europe. Due to the tragic events during World War II the Jewish population of Prag went down from 40.000 to 2.000.

Actual history

During the "Prague Spring" 1968 the people of Prague expressed a wish for a more free society - a development that abruptely stopped due to the occupation of neighbouring socialist countries. A young student burned himself in the Prague center, and his photo is always surrounded by fresh flowers. Twenty years later the wishes of the people came true, and Prague is no rapidly changing into a western capital.

Water mill

There are still four water mills in the centre of Prague, however now they serve as tourist attractions only.

On a hot summer day - why not take a trip in a little boat on the Moldau river?

Art and string puppets

The are many things one can buy from Prague. Crystal glass is famous, and expensive. A painting bought from the artist himself on the Charles´bridge is cheaper, and why not get a typical Czech puppet to the children?
