Prague: Václav Havel Airport Prague
Built around an airfield on Prague’s northwestern edge, Václav Havel Airport Prague grew into Czechia’s principal international airport. It opened in 1937 as Prague–Ruzyně Airport, and its original terminal is a landmark of Czech functionalist architecture. Renamed in 2012 for Václav Havel, the playwright, dissident and first president of the Czech Republic, it connects the capital with European and longer-haul destinations. The airport occupies an open plateau beyond Prague’s dense core; the Vltava River runs through the city to the southeast, while runways, taxiways and terminal areas form a major transport landscape at its edge.

Tucked along the bends of the Vltava River in the heart of Bohemia, Prague is a city whose character is shaped by its riverbanks and hilltop districts. Prague Castle rises above the left bank, while the medieval Charles Bridge, completed in 1402, connects Malá Strana with the Old Town. Gothic, Baroque and Art Nouveau buildings share the centre with busy squares, theatres and cafés, reflecting Prague’s long role as the Czech capital. The Old Town Astronomical Clock, installed in 1410, remains one of its defining public landmarks.
