Czech Mate

Prague is a city of transformations. It’s less than 30 years since communist rule ended in the then Czechoslovakia and now, out from under the Iron Curtain, the Czech Republic’s capital is a thriving and cosmopolitan city. Made popular by city breakers seeking a value for money getaway Prague offers much more than just affordability.

A city of stunning good looks; Romanesque chapels and cellars, Gothic cathedrals, Baroque palaces and gardens and worldly Art Nouveau buildings, Prague is a sight for sore eyes. A compact city split in two by the River Vltava it is easily explored by foot and offers something for culture vultures, shoppers and craft beer enthusiasts alike.
