The Destination

Welcome to Prague—a city of dramatic contrasts, rich history, and surreal cinema.

From Gothic cathedrals to Soviet-era blocks, Prague is a city built on striking contrasts. In just one century, the city shifted from imperial capital to Nazi-occupied territory, endured decades of Communist rule, and peacefully reclaimed its independence. That layered past helped shape the bold, absurd, and globally celebrated Czech New Wave cinematic movement of the 1960s.

Today, Prague remains a filmmaking hub, home to Barrandov Studios, one of Europe’s oldest and largest. Major productions like “Casino Royale,” “Mission: Impossible,” and “The Grand Budapest Hotel” have all filmed here, drawn by the city’s visual drama, moody elegance, and cinematic range.

Between shoots, snack on mouth-watering Czech pastries like trdelník (cinnamon-sugar dough spiraled around a spit) and koláč (fruit- or cheese-filled) as you explore poster shops, puppet theaters, hand-blown glass studios, and open-air art markets. Whether you’re behind the camera or crossing Charles Bridge—the iconic 14th-century walkway lined with baroque statues of saints—Prague surprises at every turn, from the Astronomical Clock’s mechanical show to sweeping views of the “City of a Hundred Spires."
