Tourism
Regarded as one of the most beautiful cities in
central Europe and even the world, Prague is a
city of rich history, remarkable architecture and
rustic cobblestoned streets. Packed with tourist
attractions, old-school cafes and lots of beer,
Prague is the place for those who enjoy culture,
serenity and history.
Nestled in a romantic setting of riverside and
charming bridges, Prague is renowned for being
one of the most well-preserved cities in Europe.
Often tagged as 'the City of a Hundred Spires,' the
city's skyline is dotted with historical domed
structures and plenty of remarkable medieval
church spires. The Old Town with its archaic
squares and cobblestoned streets adds charm to
this already beautiful city laid out according to
the 1000-years old plan. Other than being
brimming with architectural wonders, Prague is
also a significant political, cultural and
commercial hub continuing its legacy from the
past. The historical centre of Prague, a total area
of 866 hectares was declared as the UNESCO
World Cultural and Natural Heritage Register in
1992 and thus drawing tourists in large number
from all around the globe. With art spilling all
around the aroma of delicious food and drinks
wafting off the cafes, the strings of classical
music vibrating through the air, Prague will
enchant you with its beauty.
Religion of Prague
Roman Catholicism is the main religion
followed by 39.2% of the people. Other beliefs
practised include atheism, Protestantism and
Orthodoxism.
Prague Customs
Czechs, in general, are quite reserved in their
dealings with foreigners, although in other
aspects they are not much different from
North Americans or other Europeans. shaking
hands is the common form of greeting while
kissing on cheeks is reserved for family or close
friends. A simple hello (dobr A 1/2 den) on
entering a shop and goodbye (na shledanou)
to a shopkeeper on leaving is a casual way of
starting and ending a conversation. Talking
loudly in public is considered rude; however,
the rule is often disregarded while in pubs.
