Dear visitors, let to me introduce you Prague and the Czech Republic.

The Czech Republic is located in a heart of Europe. Thanks to its location we can perceive it as a crossroads of Europe where a diverse cultural, ethnical and political inluences were always evident. The Renaissance map dating back to the reign of Rudolf II depicts the continent of Europe as a woman-monarch, an empress. The lands of the Czech Crown shine on her breast like a gem on the chest of Europe set in the region of the spiritual heart or solar plexus.

A history of the Czech Republic is connected with four ethnic groups. The Celts are the first ethnic group on our territory that we know by name: our country is considered to be part of a very core of the Celtic cradle of nations. After the Celts, the Teutonic tribes that settled in these parts in the 1st century supplemented the ethnic development of our central European area. The Slavs arrived five hundred years later, while the first Jews came in the 10th century.

Prague is a capital city of the Czech Republic and for hundred years it has also been a seat of the Czech princes and later on of the Czech kings. Prague is one of the places which dictate the history of mans. The atmosphere and beauty of Prague is not given only by an unique combination of sights and pieces of art dated from various periods, but also by the life which present here and which bears the heritage of the old times.

In 1999 a famous spiritual researcher Marko Pogacnik visited Prague. His speciality is a healing of the Earth. He has been active in many European cities, including Italy, Slovenia, Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Great Britain. During his tour of Prague, Pogacnik with impressive sensitivity described two areas of the city´s left bank as the key sacred areas of nature, where an intense exchange of energy takes place between the river Vltava and invisible „energy generators“. These places emanates a great amount of natural energy which magically influences the stretch of the city below.

Prague has its soul which tryed to find such „wanderers“ as: Franz Kafka, Gustav Meyrink, Jaroslav Hašek, Guillaume Apollinaire, Marina Cvetajeva, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, Albert Einstein, Johannnes Kepler, Giordano Bruno, Petr Iljitch Tchaikovskij,Tycho Brahe, Alexandr Vasiljevitch Suvorov, Nicolo Paganini, Thomas Alva Edison, Fjodor Ivanovitch Shaljapin, Frederyk Chopin, Enrico Caruso and many others.

If you are interested in a visit of our country and if you wish to get acquainted with its monuments, secrets and mystique the best way is to contact Prague Tour Guide who is able to give you the most detailed information.
