Beautiful Prague

Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, is one of Europe’s most magical destinations. Divided by the Vltava River, this fairy-tale city perfectly blends a profound history with a vibrant, modern soul.

Founded in the 9th century with Prague Castle, the city became a major European cultural center in the 14th century under Charles IV. Having survived world wars and the 1989 Velvet Revolution, its complete historic center is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Essential highlights

• • Prague Castle: The largest ancient castle complex in the world, featuring the stunning Gothic St. Vitus Cathedral.

  • Charles Bridge: A historic 14th-century pedestrian stone bridge lined with 30 towering Baroque statues.

  • Old Town Square: The historic heart of the city, famous for the Astronomical Clock which brings medieval mechanical figures to life every hour.

Quirky Wonders

• Kafka's Moving Head: A giant, mirrored, rotating sculpture by provocative local artist David Černý.

• The Dancing House: A striking modern building designed by Frank Gehry that mimics a pair of dancers.

• Speculum Alchemiae: A hidden, underground 16th-century alchemy laboratory full of historic magic.

Prague is not only a historical gem but also the baseball capital of Europe. During the prestigious PONY Europe tournament, three top-tier facilities in the city transform into the ultimate stage for young talents competing for a ticket to the World Series in the United States.

Baseball has deep roots in the Czech Republic, experiencing explosive growth since the fall of the Iron Curtain. Local clubs built modern complexes from the ground up, which now regularly host European and World Championships. The three tournament locations—Eagles, Tempo, and SaBaT—embody this passion and belong to the absolute top of the Czech Leagues.
