Prague Prague is quite simply one of the most stunning cities in Europe, This is a city where just ambling around the impressively well-preserved historic core (stopping off for a fortifying glass of one of the excellent local beers, popping into boutique shops or one of the myriad museums, whilst admiring the smorgasbord of architectural styles that crowd all around on the way) is the real pleasure. The 20th century brought massive trauma for Czechoslovakia and Prague as the country was occupied by the Germans during World War II and then spent the best part of five decades subjugated under Soviet communist rule, with attempts to win greater democracy in the 1968's 'Prague Spring' brutally crushed under the weight of Russian tanks. The Czech spirit remained undaunted and in 1989, as the Berlin Wall tumbled, the Czechs finally broke free of communism during the 'Velvet Revolution'. In May 2004, the Czech Republic joined the European Union.
