PRAGUE
Prague, widely regarded as one of Europe's most beautiful cities, has emerged as one of Europe's most dynamic business centers as well as a major tourist destination. Many multinational firms and banks are located in Prague, and the Czech Republic's entry into the European Union has sparked a major overhaul of economic policies and the emergence of new institutions to support the country's growing globalization. The city is rich in historical sites and cultural activities and provides easy access to other major cities such as Vienna, Budapest, Munich, Krakow, and Berlin. As a major tourist destination, it offers a broad range of entertainment and recreational facilities at prices much lower than in Western Europe.
