Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic and one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Its most famous square is the Old Town Square (Prague Square). In the center of Prague Square is a statue of Jan Huss. The name Prague comes from German and is called Blaha locally, which means "threshold". The reason is that vltava river flows through a reef here, and the current is very fast, just like crossing a threshold.
