Prague, city of hundred spires, is the heart of Europe. The capital of the Czech Republic is a city of more than one million people, spreading over almost 500 square kilometers. Prague enhanced its historically strong ties with other cities in Central Europe, and has gradually been gaining a continuously improving position within the continental structure of big cities.

Situated on both banks of the Vltava river is a beautiful city with a rich history. Thanks to its location in the centre of Europe, Prague has always been an important crossroads of trade and culture. Prague belongs to the architecturally unique European towns.
Castle
CASA     The dominant feature of the city is Prague Castle, which houses the gothic St. Vitus's Cathedral. The castle had been the seat of Czech kings since 1087, until 1918 when it became the seat of presidents of the Czechoslovak Republic, and since 1993 it has been the seat of the president of the Czech Republic. Prezident of the CR is a Professor of economy and his participation is expected on the EURO XXII.
With a widely opened pro-market economy, stable democratic government, stable currency working skills of the people, this country provides a great opportunity to host a conference in order to meet scientists and business people from all over the world.
Prague, as the proposed venue for this conference, provides all the necessary facilities and services. The city with its cultural and architectural interests helps to attract more participants.

Sights
Prague is certainly a fascinating place to visit, with sights including beautiful landscapes and architecture ranging from Art Deco styles to gothic designs. Prague is a great walking city and we recommend that you bring comfortable shoes and hit the cobblestones.
The main sightseeing areas of Prague are separated by the Vltava River. On the left bank there is the Prague Castle area and the Lesser Town. The right bank is home to the Old Town, the Jewish Quarter, and the New Town. Spanning the Vltava River and connecting the Old Town and Lesser Town is the Charles Bridge.

History
Prague is situated in the heart of Europe, on a place that has been an intersection of continental merchant routes since time immemorial. It was the seat of Czech princes and kings from the tenth century A.D. In the mid-14th century, Prague was the centre of the Holy Roman Empire and Europe's third largest city in terms of population. As part of the Hapsburg monarchy, Prague remained the capital of Czech lands, which became the strongest part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in terms of economy during the 19th century. Prague was developing as an important centre where Czech, German and Jewish cultures met and mingled. Following the establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic in 1918, Prague became the metropolis of the new country. It experienced a growth of its territory and a great building boom. Following the social and economic changes in 1989, Prague enhanced its historically strong ties with other cities in Central Europe, and has gradually been gaining a continuously improving position within the continental structure of big cities.
CASA
Culture
Prague also offers a wide range of musical concerts, theatre venues, pubs and restaurants to suit any taste and budget. The National Theatre is a member of Opera Europa. The home-stage of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra is Dvorak Hall in Rudolfinum.
CASA
Throughout centuries prominent personalities paid homage to it. W. A. Mozart, L. van Beethoven, F. M. Dostojevsky, A. Rodin, G. Apollinaire, P. I. Tchaikovsky, O. Kokoschka and also the British Queen Elizabeth II and Pope John Paul II professed their beguilement by its attractiveness and architectural beauty. The native town is reflected in the works of Jan Neruda, Jaroslav Seifert, Franz Kafka, Max Brod or Egon Erwin Kisch.
