Prague: TSK-Zelený ostrov
The landscape around Prague is shaped by the broad Vltava valley and surrounding hills, which have shaped both the built environment and local life. The Czech capital extends across both banks of its principal river, where a medieval core gives way to 19th- and 20th-century residential quarters, major streets and business districts. Tram lines remain a defining piece of everyday infrastructure; Prague’s first electric tram route began service in 1891. In the centre, Charles Bridge joins the Old Town to Malá Strana, while Prague Castle stands above the river on Hradčany hill. The Historic Centre of Prague has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1992, reflecting the city’s enduring role as the capital of Bohemia and of today’s Czech Republic.
