Synopsis

Prague, capital of the Czech Republic, is one of the world's great cities. Untouched by World War II, it is an architectural delight spanning a thousand years. In turn, the Czech Republic is the most dynamic of the former East European Communist bloc. Not unexpectedly, therefore, it is attracting huge numbers of visitors as well as inward investment. Following the break-up with Slovakia, the Czech culture and way of life is refocused and reinvigorated, This guide should, therefore, be useful reading in order to understand the new Czech ethos and way of life. The visitor should also be aware that it has very sophisticated roots, of which the Czechs are duly proud: rare in Western culture these days, for example, is the custom of removing one's footwear at the door and the widely observed but unwritten convention, of always walking on the right.
