Discover the stories of famous books while meandering about Prague. Search for the Golem in the alleys of Prague’s Jewish Quarter, glimpse a face with flaming eyes in the semi-precious stones of St. Vitus Cathedral like Apollinaire, or take a moment to see the world through the eyes of Kafka’s Gregor Samsa. Prague is not just the backdrop for famous novels – it is a city where literary stories continue to take unfold. That is why it rightly bears the title of UNESCO’s Creative City of Literature, and this year it is inviting the world to follow in its literary footsteps at the Frankfurt Book Fair. Bohemian Prague still inspires writers, poets and readers from the world over. Visit and become a part of its story.
This year marks the 135th anniversary of the grand opening of the Petřín Tower and Mirror Maze, which was formerly the exhibition pavilion of the Czech Tourist Club. Parisians can admire the Petřín Tower in Prague, the younger sister of their Eiffel Tower. It so captivated the people of Prague at the 1889 World’s Fair that they decided to build one of their own. It is particularly famous for its romantic tradition of kissing under the blossoming cherry trees on May 1st. The record, which remains unbroken to this day, is 108 kissing couples at a single moment.
The spiritual side of enchanting Prague is revealed to the visitor gradually. Above the city shines the cathedral with its golden mosaic of the Last Judgement. The banks of the Vltava River are connected by Charles Bridge with its thirty mystical sculptures. The towers of Prague’s sanctuaries reach for the sky and stone saints on their ledges indulge in silent debates. Once the visitor adapts to the unique language of Prague, the city begins to speak to them through mysterious signs, symbols or the patterns of the stone paving. And in the darkened streets, paths of light may appear that lead to other worlds.

Experience Prague through the eyes of a global bestselling author and immerse yourself in the magical atmosphere of a city where history meets mystery. It is the setting of Dan Brown’s latest novel, The Secret of Secrets, which will lead you through the city’s winding streets with a bohemian soul.
Playing Prague is a game celebrating Prague and all those who have shaped and continue to shape this beautiful city. Every detail of the game is a tribute to the 1000-year cultural heritage of a city that was once the seat of the Holy Roman Emperors and the capital of the Bohemian Kingdom. It is also the origin of the designation of bohemians as people with a creative and unconventional way of life. Become a Bohemian for a while and build your own Prague.
Anyone who has briefly visited Prague regrets not staying longer. Prague is not only a beautiful architectural gem, but also one of the most cultural cities in the world. Not for nothing is the thousand-year-old name of the metropolitan area Bohemia. You will experience the authentic Bohemian spirit of Prague at every turn. And you’ll see that the creative spirit is still alive in the city where Kafka, Mozart, and Einstein lived and worked. Whether in cafés, jazz clubs or opera houses, you’ll find your passion everywhere – traditional, new, or completely experimental.
Welcome to the page dedicated to Japanese visitors on the occasion of the opening of the Czech Pavilion at EXPO 2025 Osaka. 「プラハ」と聞けば、何百年の歳月を経てなおそのゲニウス・ロキを失うことのない、魅力あふれる、まるで絵のような歴史的な街が浮かんでくるのではないでしょうか。ヴォルフガング・アマデウス・モーツァルトがあれほどまでに好んで訪れ、べドジフ・スメタナやアントニーン・ドヴォルザークが作曲に励み、フランツ・カフカを初めとする作家や詩人たちが数々の傑作を生み出し、アルフォンス・ミュシャやトワイヤンの絵画が生まれ、今もヤン・シュヴァンクマイエルが創作を続ける、魅惑の首都プラハへようこそ。1964年の東京五輪に向けて、ヴェラ・チャスラフスカが旅立った街、プラハ。そこでは建築の至宝だけでなく、香り高いカフェや絶品のビールが、あなたを待っています。日本からいらっしゃる方々への感謝の気持ちとして、プラハにまつわる主なストーリーについては日本語訳をご用意いたしました。それ以外のコンテンツにつきましては英語となりますので、ご了承ください。
