What Prague looked like in the 1980s Through these fascinating photos

Prague is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic. A significant economic and cultural centre of the country; Prague is one of the most acceptable cities on the continent. The city’s architectural heritage reflects both the uncertain currents of history in Bohemia and the city’s history spanning over 1,000 years.

Prague is known for its active musical life, which reaches a high point each spring in the international spring music festival. Two of Prague’s orchestras, the Prague Symphony and the Czech Philharmonic, have won international acclaim.

Over ten museums are located in Prague and galleries, theatres, cinemas, and other historical exhibits. Public transportation in the city is extensive and modern. Additionally, it has a wide selection of public and private schools, including Charles University in Prague, Central Europe’s oldest university.
