Prague has been a political, cultural and economic centre of central Europe and has
a rich history. Founded during the Romanesque and flourishing by the Gothic,
Renaissance and Baroque eras, Prague was the capital of the Bohemian Kingdom
and the main residence of several Holy Roman Emperors, most notably of Charles
IV (1346–1378). It was an important city to the Habsburg Monarchy and its Austro-
Hungarian Empire.

Main attractions include Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, Old Town Square with the
