Prague the city of czech republic is very famous and historical .all the time visitor can come and enjoy.Matička Praha ‘little mother Prague’ was largely undamaged by WWII, and the cityscape is stunning. Its compact medieval centre remains an evocative maze of cobbled lanes, ancient courtyards, dark passages and churches beyond number, all watched over by an 1100-year-old castle.Kidnapped by communism for 40 years, Prague has become one of Europe's most popular tourist destinations. Prague has stood the test of time, but the floods of August 2002 threatened to ruin centuries of culture and history forever. While Prague's rich collection of Gothic, baroque, and Renaissance buildings has stood stoically through all the strife, the streets and squares fronting the grand halls have often been the stages for tragedy. The well-worn cobblestones have felt the hooves of king's horses, the jackboots of Hitler's armies, the heaving wheels of Soviet tanks, and the shuffling feet of students in passive revolt. The lifting of the Iron Curtain after 1989's bloodless "Velvet Revolution," one of a flurry of citizens' revolts ending Communist rule in Eastern Europe, has attracted many Westerners, who can finally come search for the secrets of the other side. But the city sees itself as the westernmost of former East Bloc capitals and Praguers wince when they hear the term "Eastern Europe" used to describe their home.
