PRAGUE GUIDE

The oldest meteorological observatory: Klementinum (meteorological observations since 1752). The oldest preserved fountain: the singing fountain (1568) in the Royal Garden.

FOR THE LOVE OF PRAGUE is Gene Deitch's story - part national history, part memoir, part love story, part a record of national lunacy. However unlikely his account may seem to some outsiders, it is all true, with real names, real people, real incidents....and real insight!

The mother of cities reads the motto on the coat-of-arms of the Capital of the Czech Republic. It was topical in the Middle Ages and the Early New Age, when Prague was the political head and until 1547 also the supreme court instance of the burgher estate, the counterpart of the nobility and the sovereign in the system of political power and self-government.

Prague is a well- known old city of Europe that is a host to many tourists all round the year. The aura of the place speaks for itself. Prague is the capital of Czech Republic whose traditional and archaic European ambience is too appealing than ever imagined.
