The face of the city: Prague's architecture
Prague is like an open-air textbook of architecture. Just take a walk through the city center and within minutes you will find yourself among Romanesque rotundas, Gothic towers, Baroque palaces, Art Nouveau facades, and modernist icons. This layered character gives the city its unmistakable character and inspires not only visitors but also contemporary architects and designers, who find fertile ground here for their own creations.
Alongside its historical heritage, the contemporary scene is also thriving here – studios focused on sustainable architecture, interior design studios creating spaces with soul, young designers experimenting with materials, and renowned offices acclaimed for their work throughout Europe. Prague is thus becoming a city where tradition gives way to innovation, where the old inspires the new, and where design becomes an integral part of everyday life.
In this section, we will introduce you to the city’s architectural gems, as well as leading Czech and foreign architects, interior design studios, exhibition spaces, and places where ideas are born that influence the appearance of Prague and beyond.
