What is unique about Prague?

Enjoy living in the “world’s most beautiful city,” as named by TimeOut magazine in 2021. Prague’s central location means easy access to the rest of Europe. Cobblestone streets, medieval bridges, and a castle overlooking dozens of churches, squares, and green spaces all contribute to the “City of a Hundred Spires” being recognized as one of the world’s most beautiful cities. Having shed its communist past and brimming with carefully preserved monuments from every period and style in its millennial history, Prague is a truly unique European city.
