An Introduction to the Czech Republic

When you start to speak of the Czech Republic, frequently, people stop you in the middle of your sentence and say, "You mean Czechoslovakia?" It's amazing how many people don't know about the Czech Republic's Velvet Revolution in 1989. This country has a history, present and future that is full of fairy tales and scientific advancements, sporting victories and more. However, a visit to Prague, the Golden City, is your best opportunity to learn about where it has been and where it is headed.
