Whether you’re exploring the grand architecture or discovering hidden gems, the city offers a unique blend of traditional, new, and experimental creativity. Easily accessible by plane or train, the city offers a compact, walkable centre with excellent public transport options, including trams and the metro.

Around the World

Prague's Hidden Alchemy Museum

During my visit to Prague, I stumbled upon Speculum Alchemiae, an intriguing museum dedicated to alchemy. Hidden beneath an ordinary building, this museum offers a fascinating guided tour of an alchemist's lab rediscovered after a natural disaster

The Dancing House

The Dancing House, also known as Fred and Ginger, is an iconic modern building on Prague's riverbank. Designed by Vlado Milunic and Frank Gehry, it stands out from the city’s historic Baroque, Gothic, and Art Nouveau architecture

The John Lennon Wall

The John Lennon Wall in Prague, though never visited by the musician himself, became a tribute to his pacifist ideals after his death in 1980. Originally covered in graffiti protesting the communist regime, it continues to serve as a memorial where anyone can leave messages of peace and solidarity

A Historical Time Marker

The Prague Meridian, marked by stones in the Old Town Square, was once used to determine noon based on the sun’s shadow. Established in 1652, it was later replaced by the Klementinum Observatory in the 19th century, where the time was announced by a bell and flag

Airship Gulliver

The Airship Gulliver, a 42m steel and wood structure, now sits atop the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art in Prague. Inspired by early 20th-century airships, it serves as a new venue for contemporary art and literature

The show follows the adventurous journey of Claire "Sassenach" Randall and her enduring love story with the dashing Jamie Fraser. While the plot traverses various locations across time and space, it is the breathtaking Scottish landscapes that undeniably steal the spotlight.
