German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche said, “When I think of a word to express the music, I found Vienna; when I think of a word to express the mystery, I found Prague."

Since Philip Kaufman turned the novel Unbearable Lightness of Being written by, Kundra, into a movie, the City of Music has gradually revealed its unique romance to the public and the melancholy but attractive scenes makes it a mysterious and romantic city among young people.

Prague is a good place to wander, people in stations and cafes dress differently and are always in a hurry. As the capital of Czech Republic, the entirety of Prague is the first city to be designated as the UNESCO World Heritage. Its Old Town features the ancient architectures from the 13th Century with Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque and Renaissance styles and the artistic temperament has penetrated into every street and lane.

"Prague" derives from German and is called Praha by the locals, which means threshold, because there is a submerged reef in the Vltava River as if the fast-flowing water crosses over a threshold. Another saying is that when the city was being built in ancient times, an architect came here to carry out an investigation and he came across an old man sawmilling carefully to make a threshold; this deeply touched him. After construction, the city was named Prague.

Divided into two parts by the Vltava River, Prague has a population of 1.21 million. It is a beautiful city with long history. It has been the political center for 1,000.
