Prague
Vltava River city
Prague is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic, situated on the Vltava River in the heart of Central Europe.
Known for its well-preserved medieval architecture, the city features Gothic spires, Baroque palaces, and a famous astronomical clock.
Prague served as the seat of Bohemian kings and Holy Roman emperors, leaving it rich with historic landmarks including Prague Castle and Charles Bridge.
