Capital of the Czech Republic

Prague was one of the most beautiful European cities since the Middle Ages and has had many nicknames such as “ City of 100 towers”, “ Heart of the Europe”, and “ Golden Prague”.  It was a crossroad where many merchant, artists and scientists met. First mentions about initial inhabitants of Vltava valley goes to very deep history, when Celtic tribes came in 500 BC. The first Slavonic tribe arrived to Bohemia in about 500 AD. Prince Borivoj established the Prague Castle; in 10thcentury fortress Vysehrad was built on the rock upon the Right Bank of the river Vltava. Both fortresses have become very important places of Czech rulers. This became the playground for Robert and Lee's excellent adventure!
