One of the best things composer Bedrich Smetana did for Prague,
besides writing Ma Vlast, was composing the opera Dalibor. Based on
one of the Czech Republic's most famous prisoners, Dalibor also lends

Of the many fun facts about Prague Castle, one that I just recently
learned was that the new guard's uniforms (made after Prague became
capitalist and therefore touristy) were designed by the costume

Prague is nothing if not a haven for finding curiosities, oddities,
and other freaks of nature within a museum. The Miniatures Museum is

The castle rooms of the castle of Prague are actually not that impressive. At first, one enters an enormous hall, probably the main hall of the palace with wooden floors and a nave-like structure. From it one can go to several terraces, one more room, another museum and see the castle chapel from...

Prague Castle provides the visitor with an overload of the senses. The size and scale of the buildings, the masses of tourists, and the sounds of dozens of different languages all assail the traveller. The castle compound is a maze of various cathedrals, chapels, museums, and many other...

Entirely unique in its appearance the castle at Karlstejn is the father of all castles in the Czech Republic. Some may not even agree with me but the fact that every king had to be crowned here makes the castle be the heart of a nation. Its uniqueness is the combination of styles such as the...
