Prague’s history unfolds across centuries like a living manuscript, its pages inscribed by the ambitions of emperors and the resilience of its people. Rising from the banks of the Vltava River in the 9th century, this Bohemian stronghold was transformed under Charles IV in the 14th century, who envisioned a capital rivaling Paris. His reign left an indelible mark—spires piercing the skyline, bridges spanning the river, and a castle looming over cobbled streets. Yet Prague’s story extends beyond medieval grandeur, shaped by the tumult of religious wars, Habsburg rule, and the 20th-century shadow of the Iron Curtain, culminating in the Velvet Revolution’s quiet triumph.
