PRAGUE! It’s really worth it Great atmosphere, fantastic people, lots of fun. Prague is great, come and see it! Paul Stamp / MANCHESTER www.praguewelcome.com
PRAGUE BLOSSOMING IN BEAUTY As winter thaws, one of Europe’s best-loved cities, the Czech capital of Prague, is preparing to spring back into life. FOR YEARS, PRAGUE has been one of the most visited tourist destinations, with millions coming to enjoy its remarkable history and architecture and rich selection of culture and entertainment. In addition to the largest historical city reserve listed in the UNESCO World Heritage list, Prague boasts many other attractions. In spring and summer, the city parks and historical gardens are open; the Vltava River is traversed by sightseeing steamboats; and cultural institutions have full programmes, guaranteeing an unforgettable visit. Festive atmosphere The beginning of the tourist season has traditionally been associated with Easter. For the entire month of April, the Old Town Square blossoms into a colourful garden, with Easter goodies, traditional crafts and a festive atmosphere. A walk round the well-preserved historical city centre is a must. The so-called Royal Way is the coronation procession route that Czech kings took from the Old Town to Prague Castle, and this is still where the most impressive views of Prague’s monuments can be enjoyed. The palace gardens – newly restored thanks in part to an initiative of Prince Charles – are also worth visiting. Entertainment for everybody An evening jazz cruise down the Vltava River is a remarkable experience. Or you can travel by steam boat to the largest Zoo in the Czech Republic, in Troja, whose inhabitants include a male gorilla, Kiburi, and a Rothschild giraff e cub born earlier this year. Prague is also renowned for its rich cultural life. The 66th year of the international music festival Prague Spring is worth seeing, with a festive presentation of Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 as its highlight. Lovers of classical music will enjoy the third year of the Easter Festival. And pop music fans will appreciate the United Islands of Prague music festival, held on the Vltava River’s islands and embankments. Sports-lovers will not lack for excitement either, with biking, horseback-riding and tennis and, for the golfers, 17 courses located within 50 km of Prague.
