Stay in Prague, The Historical Jewel of Central Europe

Prague is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic. Prior to 1993, the city was also the capital of the larger country of Czechoslovakia, which included the now separarate Slovakia. The Velvet Revolution, which occurred following the demise of the Berlin Wall, led to Prague and the rest of the Czech Republic freeing itself from the communist influence which had been in place since 1948.

Despite this long period of communist rule, Prague has managed to retain a large number of beautiful buildings, many dating back to the Renaissance and Medieval periods. This makes the city a popular destination for those with historical and archaeological interests.

If this is of interest to you, why not try an apartment in Prague for your next stay in the Czech Republic. An apartment with views of the city’s main landmark, Prague Castle, will usually command a premium. The Castle dates back to 863, when it was the largest inhabited fortress in Europe. An apartment with views of the Vltava River is also much sought after.

Further to the Industrial Revolution of the 19th Century, Emperor Francis Joseph I ruled the region. At this time, many architecturally interesting buildings were built within the city, which went on to survive the Wars of the 20th Century. These buildings now give Prague a deserved reputation for its magnificent number of architecturally diverse biuldings.
