It borders Slovakia to the east, Germany to the west, Poland to the north, and Hungary to the south. It is a landlocked country surrounded by four countries.

Prague is one of the oldest cities in Europe, with a history of more than 900 years. It is also known as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and was the first city in the world to be designated a World Cultural Heritage.

Therefore, the American buildings in Prague have different shapes but a similar simple beauty.

As you look around, Prague is full of tall and tall spiers, which are eye-catching, so it is also known as the city of a hundred towers.
