Prague city
 Prague has the population of over one million people. It is not the biggest city in Europe, but it is certainly one of the most beautiful. People call Prague the “Golden City” and the “Mother of Cities” because it has many beautiful buildings and statues. Perhaps the most popular building is the Old Town Hall with its amazing 15th century clock. People also call Prague “Europe’s School of Music”. There are many concert halls, and every May there is a famous music festival:

“Prague’s Spring”. There are also twenty theatres and many old pubs, wine bars, and restaurants. There is now a modern underground, but traffic is still a problem. It is often better to walk and feel the atmosphere of the pretty little streets.
