1. Briefly about Prague

Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic and one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. It is very popular with tourists who come here to get acquainted with the unique architecture, culture and traditions, try delicious local cuisine and, of course, drink famous beer.

Prague is located in the center of the historical district of Bohemia. For centuries it has been called "Golden Prague", "Pearl City", "Lord of the Czech Republic", "Stone Dream", "Heart of Europe".

Prague is one of nine European cities that bear the honorary title of "Cultural Capital of Europe". The reason for this is the many museums and galleries with unique collections, dozens of theater stages and concert halls where world-class stars come on tour.

The first settlements on the site of modern Prague appeared in the VI century. The oldest part of the city is Prague Castle, located on the left bank of the Vltava River. Its construction began in the VIII century, and in the X century Prague became the capital of the Czech Republic.

In the same century, a second fortress, Vyšehrad, was built on the right bank of the Vltava. On the plain between these two cities and along the river, trading settlements emerged: "Staré Mesto", "Mala Strana" and "Nove Mesto", which were united only in 1784, and a single city of Prague appeared on the map. The oldest part of the city is Prague Castle, located on the left bank of the Vltava River. Its construction began in the VIII century, and in the X century Prague became the capital of the Czech state. In 1526–1918, it was the capital of Bohemia under the Habsburg rule, in 1918–1992, it was the capital of Czechoslovakia, and since 1993, it has been the capital of the Czech Republic.

The population of Prague exceeds 1,300,000 people. Prague is the political, economic, and cultural center of the Czech Republic. Its historical part is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Prague is divided into 22 administrative districts, although for administrative purposes regarding the post office, elections, courts, and police, it is still divided into 10 city districts.

Prague is a recognized center of higher education in the Czech Republic and Eastern Europe. Currently, there are 8 higher education institutions that are financed from the state budget. Among the oldest are the University of Karlovy Vary, founded in 1348, the Czech Technical University, founded in 1707, and the Academy of Arts, founded in 1799.

Many tourists visit Prague. They are attracted like a magnet by the beautiful streets, ancient squares, unique architecture, rich history, excellent Czech beer, Franz Kafka and "The Good Soldier Švejk" - the symbols of Prague.
