Prague is the capital city of the Czech Republic and the country\u2019s centre of politics, international relations, education, culture and economy. It is the seat of the state\u2019s supreme legislative, administrative, and political bodies. The population is around 1,275,000 inhabitants.<\/p>\n

Prague is one of the most iconic historical cities in the world, with hundreds and thousands of churches, palaces, houses and gardens in Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassical, and Art Nouveau styles. Prague is also a home city of otherwise very rare Cubist architecture. Since 1992, the broad historical centre of Prague has been included in the UNESCO List of World Heritage Sites, being the largest urban area on the List.<\/p>\n

Among the famous sights, Prague Castle, Lesser Town, Charles Bridge, Old Town Square with its astronomical clock, the Jewish Quarter, New Town and Vy\u0161ehrad are worth mentioning at least. Other places worth visiting are Pet\u0159\u00edn Tower, the ZOO (ranked among the top ten in the world), the Kingdom of Railways (with train models covering more than 600 m\u00b2) and the Museum of Bricks (home to the world’s largest private Lego collection). Close to the V\u0160E campus, we recommend visiting the \u017di\u017ekov TV Tower, which has an observation deck offering magnificent views of Prague.<\/p>\n
