Prague claims to be one of the cultural centres of Europe, displaying a permanent showcase of outstanding performing artists and symphony orchestras at the city’s classical venues. The city also houses many enlightening institutions such as museums, galleries and theatres.
Czech breweries produce some of the world’s finest beers. Bohemian Beer is another valued commodity found in Prague and it is certainly appreciated by many tourists. This leads us on to the city’s vibrant nightlife scene which has recently become a trendy spot for the younger generation.
Peak season generally runs from April to October and many visitors can be expected during New Years. Almost one-half of the national income from tourism is spent in Prague. The city offers approximately 73,000 beds in accommodation facilities, most of which were built after 1990, including almost 51,000 beds in hotels and boarding houses capable of satisfying all categories of visitors.
Prague’s economic wealth is dominated by the tourism sector and whilst it accommodates to the estimated 3 million tourists a year, it still has managed to maintain its true cultural magnificence. Having been an ancient capital of Charles IV’s Bohemian Kingdom, its historic past reflects the beauty it portrays today.
